Thomson and LG Electronics (LGE) announced that the two groups will join their research and development (R&D) resources on plasma display technology. According to the companies, Charles Dehelly, CEO of Thomson, and Nam K. Woo, president and CEO of the LGE Digital Display and Media Company, met in Paris to sign a contract planned for an initial two-year period, with an extension on a yearly basis.
