112729
Plasma screens just keep getting bigger, with Panasonic on Monday showing the prototype of a new 150-inch plasma display, which the company says is the largest flat-panel display in the world.Measuring 11 feet wide, the Panasonic Life Screen is the size of nine 50-inch plasma screens, said Toshihiro Sakamoto, president of Panasonic AVC Networks during a Monday keynote at the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.It displays images at a resolution of 2,160 by 4,096 pixels, four times the resolution of Panasonic&#39;s current high-definition plasma screens, which display images at a 1,080-by-1,920 pixel resolution, Sakamoto said.The 150-inch panel is designed for digital cinema and promotional installations. Sakamoto did not say when the screen would be delivered. In developing the product, Panasonic was encouraged by the sales of 3,000 units of 103-inch plasma TVs, more than the company expected, Sakamoto said.The executive also showed off a prototype 50-inch plasma high-definition, thin TV. The display is 24.7 millimeters (0.97 inches) thick and weighs around 22 kilograms (48 pounds), half the weight of current high-definition TV models in similar sizes, Sakamoto said. This makes for easier installation and wall-mounting of the screen.No shipping date for the 50-inch screen was announced.Panasonic is making an effort to reduce the power consumption of plasma displays, Sakamoto said, and the new designs include new circuitry and designs that cut energy consumption by up to half.The International Consumer Electronics Show will be held Jan. 7-10.

LG.Philips LCD is planning to unveil a 52-inch multi-touch LCD (liquid crystal display) at next week&#39;s Consumer Electronics Show, it said Monday. The screen is 5-inches larger than one it&#160;recently showed in Japan&#160;and is the largest display of its type in the world, the company said.Multi-touch screens differ from conventional touchpanels because they allow input from more than one spot on the screen so, for example, an image can be manipulated from opposite corners. Probably the most famous current example of the technology is the display on Apple&#39;s hit iPhone and iPod Touch devices.With the technology helping to make the iPhone a smash hit display makers are now pursuing its inclusion in screens. The LG.Philips 52-inch screen uses an infrared image sensor to gauge input from fingers or other instruments and can recognize gestures such as the movement of fingers. It boasts full HD resolution (1,920 pixels by 1,080 pixels).Additionally, the company will be showing an 84-inch multi-touch display that is made up of four 42-inch panels joined together.LG.Philips LCD will also unveil a 47-inch &quot;triple-view&quot; screen. This has a filter over the front that sends light from pixels in one of three different directions so that three images can be displayed at once: one to viewers on the right of the screen, one to people in front of it and one to those on the left. The feature is being positioned at public display applications for use in advertising.Also at CES the company will show a 47-inch double-sided screen that is made up of a single backlight sandwiched between two LCD panels and a 42-inch transreflective panel for outdoor advertising use.International CES opens in Las Vegas on Jan. 7.&#160;
