Panasonic 103″ Plasma
If you have $50,000 in spare change just lying around in your pocket or at the bank, you might want to check out the 103-inch plasma television that Panasonic showcased at CES this January. So far the largest Plasma television, this model will sport a full 1080p high definition resolution and the same HD high-speed pixel drive found in Panasonic’s TH-65PX500 65-inch 1080p Plasma TV.
Manufacture of plasma panels larger than 100 inches (diagonal) is faced with technical difficulties, though, especially with maintaining stable discharge and high picture quality across the entire surface. Panasonic has announced it has overcome this hurdle.
Panasonic has overcome these technical hurdles by developing a new rib* and phosphor for these super large panels. The 103-inch 1080p plasma panel, equivalent to four 50-inch panels in size, features consistent and uniform discharge, delivering the same accurate images from the center to every corner of the screen and brightness as the current 50-inch HD model (TH-50PX500). The panel incorporates Panasonic’s 1080p HD high-speed pixel drive. The same high-speed pixel drive is used in the TH-65PX500 65-inch 1080p Plasma TV, which has been well received in Japan since its introduction last November, and the 50-inch 1080p Plasma unveiled at CEATEC JAPAN 2005 in October 2005.
The 103-inch model is set to retail in Japan this September 2006 for the equivalent of $50,000. A US/Europe release has not yet been announced, though.
