    Angry moth rights activists want to know.

    How sweet would it be if this film was applied to Plasma televisions? Unbeatable black levels, lovely natural colours and the elimination of the biggest problem with plasmas - glare from the screen glass!

    It's a shame Sony have dropped Plasmas in favour of LCD's. I would buy a plasma coated with this in a heartbeat!!

      True but...

      It could be licensed. A nice revenue stream and they don't have to license it for LCD/LED sets.

      An add-on!

      Panasonic could license this....

      Better yet: they could sell it as a film, to be applied on older televisions...

      Hey, I can dream, can't I?

    Film?

    Do they mean something that becomes part of the glass, added via CVD or something similar? Or do they mean film, as in plasticy coating that solves the reflection problem but brings back the potential for scratches that was a big annoyance in the early 2000s until phone makers got wise and started using glass instead of polycarbonate for the screen?
