The Society for Information Display’s (SID) 2006 International Exhibition was the forum LG. Philips chose to launch the world’s largest 100-inch LCD panel beating the largest currently available LCD panel by a factor of 1.5 and matching similar size plasma panels currently available.

The 100-inch panel features;

• wide screen (16:9) format,
• a screen response speed below 5ms,
• 6.22 million-pixels, full HD grade picture quality,
• capability to reproduce 1.07 billion colors,
• a maximum contrast ratio of 3000:1,
• color reproduction of 92 percent,
• an omni-directional, 180-degree viewing angle (based on Super IPS and super-large compensation film technologies).

The panel is based on LG.Philips LCD’s proprietary copper-based interconnect technology. This technology, announced in 2002, enables transmission of video signals across an entire large-area LCD screen without noise enabling the creation of sharp images with virtually no distortion or display jitter. The technology is based on using copper wires in thin film transistors (TFTs), which transmit the electrical charges. Copper has low electrical resistance for example, 60 percent less than aluminium alloy and 92 percent less than chromium.
