Pocket -size color TV is unveiled by Seiko

The Seiko watchmaking group unveiled Monday what it said is the first pocket-size color television using a liquid crystal screen. The sets, each weighing a pound, will go on sale in Tokyo in August at 84,800 yen and in the United States in September at $500 to $550. The company hopes to sell 30,000 sets in each country in the first six months.

Measuring about six inches long and three inches wide, the set uses a new ''thin-film transistor'' system. Its developers, Suwa Seikosha, are seeking to protect it with 10 major patents and 100 minor patents, a spokesman said.

The Church publishes the Monitor because it sees good journalism as vital to progress in the world. Since 1908, we’ve aimed “to injure no man, but to bless all mankind,” as our founder, Mary Baker Eddy, put it.
