Latest plasma display is a razor-thin 1mm thick
We've seen some thin plasma screens, but this one beats all. Shinoda Plasma Japan just unveiled a huge plasma display, 2 meters tall by 3 meters wide, and it's an astonishing 1mm thick (the display pictured above is another of Shinoda's plasmas, in a more horizontal configuration). Plasmas are usually energy hogs, but this one uses half the electricity of comparably sized displays available now.
This gigantic and flexible screen isn't built all in one piece — it's actually six sheets joined together, and it's not light, weighing nearly 200 pounds. Don't be worried about carrying it into your living room anytime soon, though — the first screens will appear on as-yet-unnamed products this fall for $51,000 each. Consider this a peek into the future.

It looks like a window. A great application for these would be in you article about Boeing and there challenge to make more fuel efficient jets. One of them is a window less cabin. Instead of windows which create drag each window could be a screen albeit maybe not a $51,000 screen.
