Flexible plasma display

Early in October on the Japanese electronics fair Ceatec the idea of a novel plasma displays was presented. It is just one millimeter thick and pliable. With this technology any display size should be possible in the near future.

The plasma tube array display of Japan's leading plasma display researcher Tsutae Shinoda is unlike a conventional plasma display consisting of many individual gas cells. It is made of gas-filled thin tubes, arranged between two electrode plates.

At the fair a 50 by 100cm prototype display was demonstrated with just 800g in weight. Shinoda promises that basic panels of 1 by 2 meters are “glued” together frameless to any larger size displays in future. According to the displayblog the mass production should beginn in the second half of 2008.
