Panasonic Television Project in 2001 represented the last design of a cathode-ray tube television just before the market was poised to transition to flat plasma and liquid crystal displays, marking a significant technological shift. Shunji Yamanaka, having anticipated this shift ahead of many Panasonic designers and engineers, proposed creating the most aesthetically appealing cathode-ray tube television as a tribute to the technology's farewell. The exterior design drew inspiration from the graceful curve of an actual tube, which expands from the back to the front, mirroring the magnetic field's influence on the cathode ray.
