LG Unveils World’s Thinnest LCD TV Date:   Wednesday , February 03, 2010 LG Display has gone beyond the 3 mm barrier in large LCD TV panels by introducing world’s thinnest LCD TV panel measuring 2.6 mm. The 42-inch panel weighs less than four kilograms and offers 120Hz refresh rate technology with full HD (1920x1080) resolution. The development of extremely slim LCD panel was possible by applying the company’s accumulated ‘slimming’ technologies including the use of an ultra-slim, edge-lit LED backlight system and proprietary optical film technology. In May, LG Display broke the record by unveiling 42 and 47-inch LCD TV panels measuring 5.9 mm, the world’s thinnest panels at that time.
