LG.Philips, one of the major worldwide LCD panel suppliers, is planning to debut a series of mammoth touchscreens during the upcoming 2008 Consumer Electronics Show. Among these are two so-called world-first commercial flat panels (what else?): A 52-inch multi-touch and a 47-inch triple-view HDTV.

The former has an ultra-high 1,920 x 1,080-pixel resolution and the ability to recognize up to two independent touch points as well as gestures. Its high responsiveness is also capable of picking up more precise writing instruments boosting user interactivity.

On the other hand, the triple-view panel leverages on light segmentation to allow the screen to display three different images to viewers standing at various angles. Its intended applications include in-store directories and shopping mails' advertising.
