LG%20large%20LCD.JPG LG.Philips said over the holiday that it plans to show off a new lineup of "public" (large-format displays designed for shopping malls and the like) LCDs that include multi-touch capabilities and a separate line of multi-view LCDs.

Touchscreen LCDs are obviously the hot topic in the market today, and the company plans a 52-inch touchscreen that can recognize two different touches at the same time. Other specs: a 90 Hz touch response time, 1920 x 1080 full HD resolution and a light transmission rate of 95 to 100 percent. And if that's not enough, the company plans to show off a monstrous 84-inch model created by conjoining four 42-inch panels in a two-by-two array.



Almost as nifty will be two other models, the first of which is a 47-inch "triple view" display, which presents the LCD equivalent of those ridged "motion" cards that you found in some baseball card packs several years ago. The triple-view display splits the output light into three different fields, creating three different viewable images. And the double-sided LCD just makes sense: the 47-inch LCD panel shares a common backlight, providing a display on either side of its 70-mm thick form factor.

Also on show at CES: a 1,500 candela/sq. meter transflective display that the company says will be bright enough for outdoor viewing. Unfortunately, this probably means that we've lost the sun as an effective defense against video advertising.
