She looks like Chucky's Asian sister.
Small typo Ryan: "...could hit the market could hit in..."
But will the picture quality still be as good as the XEL-1's?
probably not, but I'm betting it'll still look fantastic
If they can do a 1080p resolution, it probably will.
And thats what i call a "fake" smile
Plasticky.
Japan robot craze has finally gone too far.
Japanese (like me) have only learned to smile in the past 5 years. It'll take another decade or so until we can do it naturally.
'Samsung's old-skool 40-inch OLED HDTV prototype shown above for scale.'
As you can see on the bottom of the TV, it's a Samsung TV and not the Sumitomo TV. Samsung is not Japanese.
oh, id let her produce my 40-inch OLED panels in 2009...
About time.
"Sumitomo tires and they gotta be run flat. TV where the horn goes, boy can you top that" - Manny Fresh
Now they can make the TV's, too.
Companies in japan make almost everything. For example, Mitsubishi, cars, fork lifts, TVs, aircraft, ect.
So, ya, the tires and the TV too.
(note, NEC is part of sumitomo. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sumitomo )

Good point. Don't forget Daewoo, Hitachi, and Fuji (whose 'Heavy Industries' division makes Subaru) as well.
Wait, what? This Sumitomo? http://www.vertikal.net/images/stories/003804.jpg

What year are they going to make some big enough for other rooms of the house besides the bathroom?
For the curious, Sumitomo Chemical bought Cambridge Display Technology last year. Been kinda waiting to see what they'd do with it.

That TV and table looks like they are pushed up fairly close to the wall.
I think there is only the head and shoulders, and some fake fingers.
I don't think there is a body or legs at all.
I keep coming back to this picture. It's freaking me out.
Yay! I'm in line!
Does it come with that freakishly creepy girl?
Hmm, nothing freakish or creepy about that young lady. She's looks mighty fine to me.
is it just me or does that tv not look 16:9?
As long as these things are competitvely priced, I'd buy one.
Can you change the image to one of an x-rayed body posing vertically?
