OVERVIEW |
As the networked ubiquitous information society continues to develop, we are seeing the emergence of an environment in which people can send and receive information practically anywhere and anytime. Obviously the display device has a singularly important role to play in this society as the exit where information emerges from the network infrastructure for us to see and act upon, and will become even more important as time goes on. For flat-screen TVs that are now emerging as one of the most coveted consumer electronics products, large-screen LCDs predominate for screen sizes up to about 30 inches while plasma displays have clear advantages for larger screen sizes exceeding 40 inches. Yet in order to provide stable high-quality products, a number of technical challenges must be overcome, most notably the reduction of material and component costs to facilitate the use and drive down costs of longer sheets of motherglass to create larger LCD screens. Hitachi is committed to R&D aimed at improving the performance and reducing the cost of LCDs, plasma displays, and other lightweight flat-screen display technologies, while at the same time bringing more advanced materials and components to market supporting Hitachi's high standard of display module craftsmanship.
