The International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) is a trade show held each January in Las Vegas, Neveada. It is a trade-only show and is not open to the general public. At the show, many previews of products are introduced, or new products are announced.
The 2008 exhibition is scheduled to occur from January 7, 2008 through January 10, 2008 in Las Vegas. One of the highlights was Bill Gates’ keynote speech in which he formally announced his retirement from his day-to-day duties at Microsoft.
Here is the World’s Thinnest LCD from JVC that is introduced here at CES’2008:
According to engadget, JVC’s “thinnest” LCD (if you only count screens with an integrated tuner) was also on display at their showroom and of course we’ve got the pics. This might not be a nearly cellphone-thin 9mm screen, but its still pretty skinny and probably a lot more likely to hang on your wall than some of the prototypes we’ve seen at CES this year.
