• "Ultrathin TVs steal show at CEATEC" （Oct. 3）

昨日、幕張メッセで開催されたCEATECの話題。

• CEATEC, which stands for Combined Exhibition of Advanced Technologies, has been held every year since 2000 as a venue to allow business professionals and consumers to see the latest developments in the electronics industry ahead of the yearend shopping season.　←CはChibaの略かと思っていた||orz
• "Experience the Frontiers of Digital Convergence."　→今年のテーマ。
• This year, the key focus is on the thinnest TV yet commercialized, rather than the biggest.　→今年の注目は、テレビの大きさよりも薄さに。
• Sony Corp. is trying to catch visitors' eyes by showing an 11-inch TV employing organic light-emitting diode technology, which will go on sale in Japan on Dec. 1 to mark the world's first commercial debut of OLED TVs. Sony's OLED TV, to be sold at \200,000, has a screen only 3 mm thick.　→OLED (organic light-emitting diode)=有機発光ダイオード
