U.S. Patent and Trademark Office Museum Installs Panasonic 103-Inch Plasma
(Market Wire Via Thomson Dialog NewsEdge) SECAUCUS, NJ, March 27 / MARKET WIRE/ --
Panasonic Professional Display Company, a unit
of Panasonic Corporation of North America, the industry leader in
professional plasma displays, announced that the United States Patent and
Trademark Office, in conjunction with its partner organization, the
National Inventors Hall of Fame Foundation, has installed a Panasonic
103-inch plasma as the display system for the Isaac Fleischman Theater of
the Patent and Trademark Office Museum in Alexandria, Virginia.
The new Panasonic 103-inch plasma joins forty 42-inch networked Panasonic
plasma displays installed at the Alexandria-based Museum. These 42-inch
plasmas are used for a wide range of display purposes, including digital
signage as well as motion graphic and still image reproduction.
"Our experience with the existing Panasonic 42-inch plasmas has been
positive, and we've been very happy with the image quality and
performance," said Jeffrey Dollinger, chief development officer, National
Inventors Hall of Fame Foundation. "As soon as we heard about the 103-inch
plasma, we felt it would be the perfect way to add impact to the
high-definition inspirational films that are shown in the Museum's Theater.
The current Theater program is 'Extraordinary Innovations,' which
highlights the importance of patents and trademarks through the stories of
X Games' sports inventors and designers."
Located in Alexandria, Virginia, The Patent and Trademark Office Museum's
charter is to showcase the importance of patents and trademarks to society
as well as to honor the men and women whose creativity has helped foster a
strong and prosperous America. The Isaac Fleischmann Theater seats up to
22 people, and its programs are free to the public. The Museum's extensive
networked content playback system -- where essentially each plasma in the
facility, including both 42-inch and 103-inch plasmas, receives playback
from its own dedicated PC server -- allows communication with each plasma
via HDMI connection.
"The 103-inch plasma continues to demonstrate impressive capabilities as a
multi-purpose, impactful high-definition display for a wide range of
environments, from entertainment to digital signage," said Andrew Nelkin,
president of Panasonic Professional Display Company. "What better way to
help tell the rich story of innovation in this country than via the
industry's largest commercially-available plasma? We're proud to be
associated with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office Museum."
