The are selling the TVs in Australia. From LG's LCoS Provider:
We expect to deliver approximately 1,000 LCoS Sets to our largest OEM customer, LG Electronics for its LCoS televisions in Australia and Korea over the next month and we're targeted to deliver the balance of the current open purchase order to them during this summer," he said. "Our cell test yields, as measured against fully agreed upon specifications with our customers, are now consistent at the 50 percent level and, although not as high as we would like, yields continue to increase. In addition, we have now finished the transfer of our entire production line from our Petaluma, California facility to our South Korean manufacturing plant. At full deployment, this plant will have a capacity of 28,000 LCoS microdisplay chipsets per month and has been designed for phased expansion ultimately to a capacity of up to 120,000 microdisplay chipsets per month."
“An engineer explained to us that hundreds of ear impressions were gathered in the name of research, and while each one obviously boasted its own unique shape and size, one single characteristic remained uniform across the board: the entrance into the ear canal is not a perfect circle, it's an oval.”
