Latest plasma display is a razor-thin 1mm thick~


Shinoda Plasma Japan just unveiled a huge plasma display, 2 meters tall by 3 meters wide, and it's an astonishing 1mm thick (the display pictured above is another of Shinoda's plasmas, in a more horizontal configuration). Plasmas are usually energy hogs, but this one uses half the electricity of comparably sized displays available now~

This gigantic and flexible screen isn't built all in one piece — it's actually six sheets joined together, and it's not light, weighing nearly 200 pounds. Don't be worried about carrying it into your living room anytime soon, though — the first screens will appear on as-yet-unnamed products this fall for $51,000 each. Consider this a peek into the future~
