In a low-key unveiling event, Japan-based next-gen display manufacturer Shinoda Plasma presented an astonishing 125-inch film type display prototype that’s only 1mm thick. And yes, it’s totally flexible so it could be curved if preferred or wrapped around structures. Called a plasma tube array (PTA) display, this measures 3 x 1 meters and is actually three 1 x 1 meter display integrated into a single entity. At just 8 pounds (an ordinary plasma display would weigh ten times more), this 960 x 360 pixel resolution display could be placed almost anywhere--the possibilities are seemingly endless. Not content with 3 x 1 meters? Wait until InfoComm 2008 in June on Las Vegas where Shinoda Plasma plans to unveil a similar display measuring 3 x 2 meters or 150-inches in length. I’d love to see the display with a higher resolution in the future though. Digital wallpapers, here we come!
