Kazuhiro Tsuga (left), Panasonic president, and Joe Taylor, CEO of Panasonic North America, unveil what they say is the world's first 4K large-screen OLED TV.
It has a 56-inch screen, weighs 27 pounds, and is less than half an inch thick.
They showed off the set during a CES keynote this morning in Las Vegas. Besides a TV, Tsuga also showed off a massive tablet and covered the company's efforts in energy management and batteries for cars, airplanes, and the home.
Panasonic revealed an on-screen TV guide that lists what a TV owner is watching and what their friends are watching. It also enables chat sessions during shows.
Panasonic's energy business has four pillars: creating, storing, saving, and managing energy. Consumers can store energy created by Panasonic lithium batteries and use it when they need it.
Tsuga and broadcast journalist Lisa Ling speak with Phil Aram, GM's chief information officer, about the Chevy Malibu Eco behind them that uses Panasonic technology for some of its systems.
Panasonic is adapting its home energy solutions to cars, Tsuga said. This includes automotive battery management, as well as the power management and heat management systems that are behind electric-vehicle batteries.
Panasonic's automotive partners include VW, Audi, Daimler, Chrysler, Ford, GN, Tesla Toyota, Nissan, Honda, and Mazda.
