LG Electronics, maker of plasma and flat-screen TVs, is a sponsor of the Emmy Awards Sunday on ABC. As part of its sponsorship, LG is providing 60-inch plasma screens that will flank the Emmy
stage.
Coincidentally, LG is also taking home some Emmy hardware of its own. The company's president Woo Paik was awarded a Lifetime Achievement Emmy Award as the "father of digital TV,"
due to his leadership in the development of digital compression technology for DTV broadcasting.
