Sony has unveiled a new “super thin” television that is 0.12 inches thick. 

That’s very thin. 

The television uses a technology called OLED, or “organic light emitting diode.”

According to the article:

“Such screens, which sandwich a very thin layer of organic material between two plates, use less power and offer brighter images and wider viewing angles than liquid crystal display panels.”

How much thinner do we really need our televisions to be?  Is there some growing national crisis of the space between the wall and the TV of which I am unaware? 

Anyway, the TV’s will be priced around $1700, and I’ve no doubt Americans will be out in force to be among the first to own a paper-thin TV.
