Panasonic will incorporate part of the KURO technology that they acquired from Pioneer in the summer of 2009. This is quite interesting as it might improve black levels a lot and from what we know Panasonic has been able to do so stating a 5.000.000:1 native contrast ratio (not dynamic) on the new Infinite Black Pro panels.
