Sony has announced a new prototype display technology called Crystal LED that it hopes will prove to be the next step in image quality for consumers.
Taking on the likes of Samsung and LG, both of which have unveiled 55-inch OELD TVs at CES, Sony’s 55-inch prototype uses millions of tiny LEDs to act as pixels and offers a Full HD self emitting display.
The light source is mounted directly onto the front of the television in a red-green-blue formation. This method apparently ‘dramatically improves the light use efficiency and offers higher contrast ratios, wider colour gamut and high refresh rates and response time when compared with current LCD and plasma displays.
Bright as a button
The full HD screen uses over six million LEDs, packed into a tightly designed space, and can produce 400 nits of brightness, which is comparable with OLED displays of the moment.
Intriguingly, Sony added this new technology was “parallel to its continued development and commercialization of OLED displays, and Sony will work conscientiously to bring the “Crystal LED Display” to market.”
