highly competitive domestic market for large, flat-screen TVs.
Seiko Epson made headlines earlier this year by launching
microdisplay rear-projection televisions in the North American
market, where the genre is gaining in popularity because they are

also take to the technology, which uses liquid crystal display
(LCD) panels to project small images in the back of the set onto
a large, plastic screen.
Microdisplay rear-projection TVs are much thinner and weigh

market for thin TVs above 40 inches.
Size is a major issue in Japan given that homes tend to be
smaller than in the West.
