If You’ll look at the picture above, you will see that they use 3 wires: 2 data/power and a screen. It THAT new technology SONY offer to us or it is a joke from the past?

Multiplexing? That’s a joke, right? With a single wire (i.e. one single strip or strand of conductive material) you are not realistically going to be able to transfer either power or data from A to B. You could use one wire with ground return (effectively a second wire, and not practical unless you’re driving an electric train or something) or you could use no wires and transfer information and power through induction, but one single wire? Are you going to transfer static charge back and forth or what?

The diagram shows a “differential cable” with power and data both traveling over two wires, which is good design but understandable. I have no idea how you’d get anything meaningful over a true single wire connection.
