Samsung's 82in LCD screen

Samsung has announced that it has developed the world's largest TFT-LCD screen, measuring a massive 82 inches.

Previously, technological limitations prevented the development of LCDs this size and, competitive technologies, such as PDP and DLP, were used to produce large-sized panels. However, it has been made possible by using glass substrates that measure 1.87m by 2.20m to produce two 82in panels from a single substrate.

Samsung's latest large-screen TFT-LCD offers a variety of features including Super Patterned-ITO Vertical Alignment (S-PVA) technology to achieve extra-wide viewing angles. In addition, the product boasts a low-dispersion colour filter and ultra-high aperture ratio achieving a contrast ratio of at least 1200:1 and brightness of 600nit (cd/m2). Response times are at 8ms or faster, providing clear moving picture images. A high colour saturation backlight raises colour saturation to 92 per cent to produce a premium quality image.

The development of the 82in TFT-LCD marks the launch of Samsung's and Sony's joint venture into the S-LCD market. The screens will begin mass production at the end of this month. For more information on Samsung, visit: www.samsung.co.uk
