Panasonic, the leading brand for which Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd. is best known, today announced it has developed a prototype of a 103-inch plasma display panel (PDP) with 1080p (progressive) HDTV resolution. The prototype can deliver more than two million pixels (1,920 x 1,080) of performance. Panasonic will show this super-large-size prototype at its booth at the 2006 International CES to be held in Las Vegas from January 5 to 8.

In flat panel displays, plasma has technical advantages over other technologies, including LCD, when it comes to making larger size panels. Nevertheless, there are numerous technical challenges in making plasma panels that are larger than 100 inches measured diagonally while maintaining stable discharge and high picture quality across the entire surface of the panel.
