Panasonic is aiming to become the "No. 1 Green Innovation Company in the Electronics Industry" by 2018, the 100th anniversary of its foundation. In line with this goal, the Panasonic booth at IFA 2011 will showcase its energy solutions business that offers comprehensive energy solutions for the entire home and entire town around the globe. The company also highlights its latest network-enabled AV offering, from the VIERA Connect IPTV services that bring a whole new television experience to its enhanced Full HD 3D product lineup for homes and professionals.
The Panasonic booth consists of the following three main areas:

Energy Solutions Zone

Panasonic will present its main energy solutions products for energy creation (solar panels, fuel cells), energy storage (lithium-ion storage battery systems), energy savings (LED-LCD televisions, heat-pump heaters, LED lighting), and home energy-management systems (HEMS). In particular, Panasonic will propose energy-storage solutions from home use to much wider-scale applications such as Panasonic's recent announcement for the sustainable smart town projects such as Fujisawa Sustainable Smart Town (SST).

Digital AV Network Zone

This zone will allow visitors to experience a whole new level of entertainment created through the networking of various AV products around the television. The technologies on display will include a range of applications built for VIERA Connect - a new cloud-based service designed to usher in a new era for television - as well as Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) products.

FULL HD 3D Zone

Visitors will be able to experience Panasonic's Full HD 3D world comprising its latest 3D products and technologies. For example, a 3D display monument built with Panasonic's various 3D plasma displays, including the world's largest 152-inch display will be a stunning highlight of this exhibition.
