Japan's Sharp Corp on Thursday unveiled a prototype of what it called the world's thinnest LCD TV with a main display section only 20 mm thick.
The 25 kg TV was designed with digitalization and Web-based TV in mind as consumers look for high definition models that can be mounted on walls, Sharp president Mikio Katayama said ahead of the IFA electronics fair.
He said the 50-inch TV would consume 140 kilowatts of power per year, based on a typical household's viewing pattern, compared with consumption of 233 kWh by Sharp's current LC-37 P55E 37-inch set.
He could not say when the super-thin TV would be available.
