Sony advances the future of television with its Crystal LED Display

Sony has unveiled at the CES fair a prototype screen with a new technology called “Crystal LED Display”. This is the first Full HD self-emitting screen from 55 inches that uses LEDs as a light source. This means that it will have a much higher contrast, a much wider color gamut and excellent video image response times.

Sony Corporation announced at CES 2012 which has developed a next-generation self-emitting display called, Crystal LED Display and has presented a Full HD prototype model of 55 inches. It is the first Full HD self-emitting screen 55 inches of the industry that uses LED as a light source.

Crystal LED Display is a self-emitting display that uses exclusive Sony methods to place ultra-thin LEDs in each of the Red-Green-Blue colors (RGB), equivalent to the number of pixels (approximately six million LEDs to achieve Full HD resolution). RGB LED light source is placed directly on the front of the screen, greatly improving the efficiency of light use.

This results in images with noticeably higher contrast (in light and dark environments), a greater range of colors, Superb response time for video images and wider viewing angles compared to existing LCD and plasma displays, and with lower energy consumption. Besides, thanks to the structure and manufacturing processes of the panel, Crystal LED Display is also ideal for large screens.

Compared to existing LCD screens, the prototype of 55 inches displayed at CES presents a contrast approximately 3,5 times greater in bright environments, a range of colors approximately 1,4 times wider and a response time approximately 10 times larger for video images (all values are based on current Sony models).

Sony has a wide range of applications planned for its Crystal LED Display including applications for professional and home use.. In parallel to its continued development and commercialization of organic light-emitting diode displays (OLED), Sony will work diligently to bring the Crystal LED Display to the market.
