Can't thik of his name, but he is American, so Japanese quality is really American quality done well.

Answer
DR. Deming Its. the Deming prize

Dr. William Edwards Deming (October 14, 1900 - December 20, 1993) was a physicist and statistician, attaining great influence in the fields of management and statistics. He studied for several years with Dr Walter A. Shewhart of Bell Telephone Laboratories. Shewhart's theories of statistical control formed much of the basis for Deming's work.

Deming developed the sampling techniques that were used for the first time during the 1940 U.S. Census, and taught Statistical Quality Control (SQC) techniques to workers engaged in wartime production. They were widely applied during World War II, but faded into disuse a few years later in the face of huge overseas demand for American mass-produced product.

After World War II, Deming was involved in early planning for the 1951 Japanese Census. His expertise, combined with his involvement in Japanese society, led to his receiving an invitation by the Japanese Union of Scientists and Engineers (JUSE).

The JUSE members had studied Shewhart's techniques, and as part of Japan's reconstruction efforts they sought an expert to teach statistical control. In 1950, Deming gave the first of a dozen or so lectures on SQC. Unlike his previous lectures, he aimed this message at Japan's chief executives: improving quality will reduce expenses while increasing productivity and market share.

The Japanese manufacturers applied his techniques widely, and experienced new international demand for Japanese products.

In 1960, Deming became the first American to receive the Second Order of the Sacred Treasure from Prime Minister Kishi. An accompanying citation stated that the people of Japan attributed the rebirth and success of their industry to his work.

Deming continued running his own consultancy business in the United States without widespread popular notice in his native United States of America. In 1980, he featured prominently in an NBC documentary, If Japn Can Why Can't We, produced by Clair Crawford Mason, about the increasing industrial competition the United States was facing from Japan. Demand for his services increased dramatically as a result of the broadcast, and Deming continued consulting for industry throughout the world until his death at 93.

He published several books, Out of the Crisis, 1987, and The New Economics.

JUSE eventually introduced an annual award for the best proponent of Total Quality Management in Japan, and to recognize the contributions of Deming, they named this award the Deming Prize.

What is the minimum TV size for 1080p resolution?

Ryan Hass

Me and my friend are in an argument over that anything less than 17" TV won't display at 1080p resolution.
Also can you provide a source so I can show my stubborn friend....

Answer
I am not aware of any commodity Full HD 1080p direct-view TVâs smaller than 22 inches though it certainly would be possible if there were sufficient consumer demand. Other than market factors there really isnât a minimum size constraint on Full HD 1080p displays per se. The 22-inch size class HDTV models listed below are but a few examples.

Samsung has been producing and refining Full HD 1080p technology in small LCD flat panel displays for quite some time. In the United States Samsung is currently offering at least four 22" Class (21.5" diagonal) Full HD 1080p LCD HDTVâs from within their LED 50xx Series and (CCFL backlit) LCD 450 Series TVâs. The corresponding model numbers are UN22D5000NFXZA, UN22D5003BDXZA, and UN22D5010NFXZA, and LN22D450G1F respectively.

Though the following are not specifically high-definition *televisions,* the TFT-LCD modules, nevertheless, could easily be used to produce very small Full HD 1080p HDTVâs if a manufacturer desired to do so.

ORTUS Technology (Tokyo, Japan) developed a 4.8-inch color liquid crystal display that has a native Full HD 1920 à 1080, 458 ppi (pixels per inch) resolution. (Typically, though not exclusively, flat panel modules in this size range are targeted at the video camera and camcorder marketâ¦more specifically for electronic viewfinder [EVF] applications.)

In addition, Samsung currently manufactures a 16.0-inch (LTN160HT), FHD (1920 Ã 1080), 153 ppi LCD module aimed at notebook PC applications.

On the 1280 Ã 720 (HD) or 1280 Ã 800 (WXGA) resolution front, HYDIS Technologies currently produces a 5.6-inch 1280 Ã 800, 268 ppi TFT-LCD module for Tablet PC and handheld TV and monitor applications.
