SONY will today launch the world’s thinnest telly — slimmer even than a slice of toast.

The £3,000 TV, the latest in the Japanese firm’s Bravia range, is just 9.9mm thick.

That is 60 TIMES slimmer than a typical set from the 1950s.

It is so thin because tiny LED lights usually illuminating the flat screen from behind have been placed round the sides.

Spokesman Christian Brown said: “Sony is continuously striving to lead the way with advanced innovations in TV technology and cutting edge design. We’re excited to see our customers’ reactions.”

 

  • THE 1969 moon landing has been voted the best “World First” captured on TV, according to a Sony poll to promote its new tellies. Barack Obama’s inauguration was second and the assassination of John F Kennedy third."

    This article is awfully low on details. It doesn't even say what technology this is based on. How do we know it's not an OLED panel?

    I thought Bravia was for all their TVs.

    I found a slightly better article:

    The name of the TV is apparently Bravia ZX1. It's a 40-inch LCD. Impressive!
