LG Display: World's Thinnest LCD TV Panels
LG Display said that it used its edge-lit LED backlight system instead of the commonly used Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp (CCFL), giving the panel a thickness of 5.9mm.
Using proprietary Light Guide Sheet (LGS) technology, LG said that it reduced the thickness of the Light Guide Plate (LGP) by more than half. LGP changes the direction of light beams.
The 42- and 47-inch LCD TV panels are lightweight, weighing in at just 6.1kg and 7.3kg each, about 50 percent lighter than the same size of conventional CCFL-backlit product.
The displays have a color saturation level of 80 percent (NTSC). Other features include LG Display's 120Hz technology with a motion picture response time (MPRT) of 8ms, which provides full HD (1,920 x 1,080) resolution and eliminates motion blur.
