Japan's Toshiba Corp said on Monday it would launch liquid crystal display (LCD) televisions equipped with an internal hard disk drive (HDD) as it seeks to boost its share in the rapidly growing flat-panel TV market. The new televisions, which would enable users to record and replay TV programmes without a video cassette recorder or DVD recorder, would be the first LCD TVs of this kind in Japan, said Toshiba, Japan's second-largest electronics conglomerate.
Although they look like regular LCD TVs, they hold a 160-gigabyte HDD inside, big enough to record up to 156 hours of TV programmes.
With the help of the advanced products, Toshiba aims to boost its share in Japan's flat panel TV market to 15 percent in the current business year ending in March 2006 from 10 percent a year earlier.
