You want a thin TV?
The boffins at Sony decided that their last OLED flat-panel TV was too porky, at 3mm thick, so they've come out with the Kate Moss version, one-tenth the girth of the Rosie O'Donnell model that preceded it. The new prototype is a mere .3mm thick, thinner than the lead in your pencil.
Yeah, it's only 11 inches wide, but bigger ones are on the way, and the OLED -- Organic Light Emitting Diode -- technology provides sharper, higher contrast images, lower power consumption and long-lasting screens.
The next step is making the panels flexible, which seems possible, given how thin they are.
Neat stuff.
