There are few things that will draw as much attention on a trade show flow as a big-a** flat panel television, and that’s just what Sharp did this week at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas with their whopping 108″ LCD TV.

Today Sony unveiled its new 70-inch flat panel LCD HDTV at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. Sony stated that the Bravia KDL-70XBR3 HDTV is the world’s largest television compliant with x.v.Color.

Samsung’s newly developed double-sided LCD can produce independent images simultaneously on the front and back of the same mobile LCD display. Current double-sided LCDs are limited to showing only a reverse image of the same video data.

The technology will “accelerate the trend toward slimmer mobile products” by replacing two display panels with one, thus reducing overall thickness of mobile products by at least 1mm. The new double-sided LCD is 2.6mm thick and 2.22″ wide, with QVGA (240 x 320 pixel) resolution.

The breakthrough is made possible by use of Samsung’s new double-gate, thin-film transistor …
