Samsung Announces Super-slim CRT
Posted by Jason Dunn in "NEWS" @ 04:00 PM
"Samsung SDI, South Korea (news - web sites)'s largest display screen maker, said it had developed the world's slimmest cathode-ray tube (CRT) display for digital televisions. The new CRT display, dubbed 'Vixlim' for 32-inch (81-centimeter) digital TVs, is only 35 centimeters thick, nearly halving the 50 to 60 centimeters seen on traditional CRTs. "The new product is as slim as LCD (liquid crystal display) TVs but better quality, making itself a good fit for digital TV," the company said. The company will start mass production early next year, with a plan to introduce the technology on all present large-sized CRT products by end-2005."
There's life left in the ol' CRT tube, and it doesn't surprise me that Samsung is the one to develop something like this. I'm all for thinner TV sets!
