We thought the 8K 85-inch Super Hi-Vision LCD we saw during CES was impressive, but Japanese broadcaster NHK is already seeking to surpass that by going even bigger. As a consequence it worked with Panasonic (above: that's Panasonic's Keishi Kubota at the left, Yoshio Ito of NHK at the right) to create this 145-inch prototype plasma, unveiled today for instance of the type of displays we will expect to work out once broadcasts jump to the upper resolution some day. The world's first self-illuminating Super Hi-Vision TV, it features every pixel of its expected 8K resolution -- 7,680 x 4,320. After working for months on smaller (only 85- or 103-inch) 4K plasmas, both companies needed to get a hold of a completely new drive method for the display that works by scanning the pixels vertically to gain a uniform picture quality. The NHK plans to reveal off the hot display at its open house in May, although we're a little more interested to determine if we will be able to watch the Olympics on it this summer. Check the gallery below for a couple of more pictures from DigInfo.TV's Ryo Osuga, or hit the more coverage link for a breakdown of the difficulties encountered in building a high resolution display that's this large.
