EETimes: To better compete against flat-screen TV sets, JVC has developed an optical engine that allows a 60-inch class rear projection TV to have a depth of just 10 inches.
Liquid crystal display (LCD) or plasma display (PDP) TVs are considered flat screen, but these TVs measure 14 to 16 in. deep if the stand is factored in. JVC said its rear projection TV stands by itself and can be placed flush against a wall or on a table, or mount directly on a wall due to its light weight.
JVC is one of the companies that founded the Micro Device Display Consortium to promote microdisplay-based rear projection TVs. (…)
JVC intends to introduce the slim rear projection TVs early next year for the North American market.
