Panasonic is planning to improve the clarity of cellphone displays. They think by using low-voltage plasma technology on cellphone displays and can do better than LCD screens and even OLED screens in general. The plasma screens will be sourced from AbleComm.
Miniature plasma will offer a more attractive experience for potential subscribers of Mobile TV, a service which AT&T recently launched. Panasonic is enthused enough:
“Many of our new phones will have vibrant color plasma screens that can run on just 1.5 volts and won’t require any additional wiring or special power supplies. We’ll be able to put plasma in cell phones, business phones, consumer phones, corded phones, cordless phones, and even door intercom monitors and fax machines. We will revolutionize the consumer electronics business, as Panasonic has done many times before.”
Hopefully, they’ll also find a way to increase screen space while keeping the handset portable. I wonder how the Japanese are going to react to this announcement.
Update: What has the world gotten into. Apparently, this news is an April Fool’s joke, but someone at AbleComm thought April Fool’s came after April 1. Geez!
