When it comes to TV, there’s a new kid on the block. It’s called the XEL-1 and it’s changing television the way the iPhone changed cell phones. So what’s it’s secret? A display that measures only 3mm thick and a picture that even outclasses HD TV.
This technology is breakthrough. An OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) converts electric energy directly into light. These display panels do not require a thick backlight, thus producing incredibly fast response times, and top energy efficiency. At 11″ the picture may be small but it has a contrast ratio of 1,000,000:1! It’s not just the screen that is revolutionary, the TV itself sports two HDMI™ inputs, a digital tuner, and a Memory Stick® media slot.
Other “miracles” stuffed into this sleek package are: color purity(105% of the NTSC color space is achieved); a wide 178° viewing angle; exceptional color reproduction; outstanding contrast levels; and high brightness. Sony has created a milestone with the first OLED television, the XEL-1. (more…)
