42in lcd tv is 2.6mm thick

LG Display has developed what it believes to be the world's thinnest lcd tv panel, halving the thickness of similar devices introduced earlier this year.

Just 2.6mm thick and weighing 4kg, the panel features an ultra slim, edge lit LED backlight system and proprietary optical film technology. It has a 120Hz refresh rate and supports 1920 x 1080 resolution images. Dr In Jae Chung, LG Display's CTO and executive vice president, noted: "LG Display has once again demonstrated its technical prowess to satisfy customer demand for high resolution and slim design products. We will continue to spur R&D activities in order to provide our customers and the market with the differentiated products that they desire." In May, LG Display unveiled 42 and 47in lcd tv panels measuring 5.9mm.
