I guess the engineers over at Shinoda, a small Japanese start up, thought Panasonic's 103 inch plasma display just didn't measure up. Starting in 2009, Shinoda will begin manufacturing their 125-inch "flexible" plasma display to hopefully pwn all plasma displays before it.
From PCworld.com
"The 125-inch display is made using a proprietary plasma array technology developed by the company, Shinoda Plasma, with the first screens aimed at public display applications. A prototype on show at the FPD International exhibition that opened in Japan on Wednesday and is attracting crowds of mostly display-industry insider attendees."
"Rather than make the screen on large sheets of inflexible glass the plasma array screen uses thin glass tubes with walls that are just 0.1 millimeters thick. Inside the tubes the construction is similar to that of conventional plasma display panels but the use of the tubes means the screen is not only thin -- the 3 meter by 1 meter prototype is only a millimeter thick -- but also flexible."
Before you get too excited about this display (imaging playing PS3's Grand Turismo 5 on it) please note the prototype model can only display images at a low 960 x 360. A far cry from HD resolutions, hopefully Shinoda's can improve upon thier technology and reach HD greatness.
