On the lookout for technical innovations, Roger Tallon proposed a television in a completely new shape, in moulded ABS. The dark screen contains all the controls and is characterised by its rounded corners and curved surface. The P111 is one of the first French portable televisions, its compact volume and weight, which is sufficiently light, allow it to be transported easily with a retractable handle.
