M'shita Electric To Offer Lightest Portable DVD Player

OSAKA (Nikkei)--Matsushita Electric Industrial Co. (6752) said Friday that it will release the world's smallest and lightest portable DVD player on March 20.

The DVD-L50, which succeeds the company's popular DVD-L10, will feature a 280,000-pixel active-matrix screen and will weigh 940 grams with a battery and 640 grams without. It will be priced at 125,000 yen.

The DVD-L10 -- the world's first portable DVD player with a built-in liquid crystal display -- has been popular in both Japan and the U.S. Matsushita has sold a total of at least 80,000 units since its February 1998 debut.

Matsushita, which holds some 40% of the global DVD-player market, now makes 10,000 portable units a month and plans to increase its output capacity to 20,000 a month in April.
