LG Display has proved its technological prowess once again by developing the world’s thinnest  panels at 5.9mm for 42 and 47-inch LCD TVs, thinner than one fourth of the thickness of the diameter of a W500 coin.

The 42/47-inch LCD TV panels were made slim based on LG Display’s own Light Guide Sheet (LGS) technologies, which made it possible to reduce the thickness of the laser guide plate by less than half. The 42-inch panel weighs 6.1kg and the 47-inch panel 7.3kg, about half the weight of the existing CCFL panels. Either is lighter than a wooden frame of the same size.

These slim panels are compatible with the recent market trends toward slim and light. If they are hung on walls, they will likely set a new fashion in the living room interior design. These panels’ color reproduction rate is 80 percent, their definition is full HD (1920x1080), and they have a 120Hz, 8ms (MPRT) video response time, guaranteeing sharp images and reducing eye fatigue.

“With its development of the world’s thinnest LCT TV panels as momentum, LG Display could exhibit its technological prowess also in the fields of vertical and edge-type LED backlights. In the future, LG Display will continue R&D to make products consumers want,” said LG Display’s CTO and Executive Vice President Chung In-jae.
