The Hitachi 1.5 inch Thin LCD is an ultra thin television introduced at the Consumer Electronics Show 2008.
How it Works
"In principle, Ultra Slim models work the same as standard LCDs: Fluorescent tubes illuminate a liquid-crystal display from behind. Hitachi's innovation is a new diffuser—a sheet containing tiny lenses—that can project the backlight evenly across the screen even as it sits flush against the light source."Popular Science: CES 2008: The Sliver Screen (January 7, 2008)
