Tech Ticker

LG today showed 42- and 47-inch LCD TV panels that are touted to be the world’s slimmest LCD panels. The panel’s thickness measures only 5.9mm which is achieved by the edge-lit LEDs and also by the use of in house developed Light Guide Sheet instead of the regular Light Guide Plate.

These panels support full HD playback, has a color saturation of about 80 percent and features 120Hz tech with a response time of 8ms. The panels are lightweight too, 42-inch weighs 6.1kg while 47-inch weighs 7.3kg, about 50 percent lighter than CCFL (Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp) backlit product.
