Fujitsu Hitatchi Plasma Display Corporation keeps churning out their Plasma displays when many of the others are turning to LCD. Hitachi have just announced two 1080p “Full HD” 1920×1080 Plasma’s along with one non-1080p 1280×1080 plasma.

The 50-inch HD panel based on their ALIS technology has great image processing and brightness, features a 10,000:1 contrast ratio, brightness of 1300cd/m2 and should begin production in October. The 1920×1080 50-inch plasma is their first to use single-scan technology (one chip for image processing instead of several) at that resolution, plus the same ALIS processing with a 10,000:1 contrast ratio and 1100cd/m2 brightness, but will not go into production until March 2007. The 60-inch plasma brings all 2-million pixels and a new e-ALIS processing system to help smooth fast moving images on the big screen, it has a lower contrast ratio of only 5000:1 and a brightness of 1000cd/m2. No word on price or possible US availability just yet.
