Panasonic aiming to make plasmas as energy efficient as LCDs
We've heard LCD manufacturers point out the low energy consumption in comparison to plasmas, but apparently, Panasonic's heard quite enough. Reportedly, a plan was hatched recently at the company's PDP plant in Amagasaki City to release a new plasma display that incorporates a technology to "reduce power consumption by half." Interestingly, said device is slated to launch sometime this Spring, but no further details were given. Moving forward, the company is hoping to bring the power-sipping characteristics to its entire PDP line by fiscal year 2009, but sadly, no model numbers or anything else remotely intriguing were handed out.
