- OVERVIEW
Get your hands on the industry's first OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) television, featuring a 3mm thin panel and breathtaking image contrast, brightness and color.
Outstanding Contrast
Possessing the ability to completely turn off an organic pixel, the OLED TV breaks new ground with a 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio that produces deep blacks in astounding dark scene detail.
Color Reproduction
See the difference. Sony's unique Super Top Emission technology intensifies brightness and efficiency while Sony color filters and a special micro-cavity structure enhance color purity to reproduce as much as 105 percent of the NTSC color space.
Fast Response Time
When turned on, individual organic elements are stimulated directly by electric current and therefore deliver a blazing-fast response time compared to current flat panel displays.
High Brightness
Because OLED televisions contain pixels which individually emit light, high brightness and color levels can be achieved.
Energy Efficiency
Light-emitting OLED technology eliminates the need for a backlight and achieves a high level of energy efficiency while consuming up to 40 percent less power than conventional 20-inch LCD panels.
Resolution
Experience an unrivaled picture quality. Boasting a 960 x 540 native resolution, the OLED TV yields the same pixel density as a 40" (measured diagonally) 1080p LCD TV.
Screen Tilt Feature
The unique screen design allows it to tilt up to 70 degrees (15 degrees forward and 55 degrees backwards) to accommodate different viewing positions.
Organic Material
Carbon is the basis of all organic matter and it is also the organic material in which OLED is comprised. Examples of carbon-based substances include sugar, wood and the majority of plastics.
- DESIGN
Incredibly Slim Panel
The world's first TV with a screen that's as thin as three credit cards (only 3mm). OLED TV uses light-emitting organic material that doesn't require backlighting structures that add thickness.
Striking Form Factor
Beautiful, even when it's turned off. The OLED panel is suspended by a slim, sculptural pedestal which tilts for flexible viewing angles.
Intelligent Base
The OLED TV boasts many smartly-designed features including a digital tuner, virtual surround sound, two HDMI™ inputs ad a Memory Stick® media slot for accessing your digital photos from a Memory Stick (sold separately).
- TECHNOLOGY
What is OLED?
OLED stands for Organic Light Emitting Diode. The "organic" in OLED refers to organic material. Carbon is the basis of all organic matter. Examples of carbon-based substances include sugar, wood and the majority of plastics. The "LED" stands for "Light Emitting Diode" and describes the process of converting electric energy into light. There are two types of OLED — small molecule OLED and polymer OLED. Sony uses the small molecule type because it has a longer lifespan.
How does OLED work?
A layer of organic material is sandwiched between two conductors (an anode and a cathode), which in turn are sandwiched between a glass top plate (seal) and a glass bottom plate (substrate). When electric current is applied to the two conductors, a bright, electro-luminescent light is produced directly from the organic material.
How is color created?
OLED has more control over color expression because it only expresses pure colors when an electric current stimulates the relevant pixels. The OLED primary color matrix is arranged in red, green, and blue pixels, which are mounted directly to a printed circuit board. Each individual OLED element is housed in a special "micro-cavity" structure designed to greatly reduce ambient light interference that also works to improve overall color contrast.
The thickness of the organic layer is adjusted to produce the strongest light for each of the colors: red, green and blue - used to render the color picture. The three colors are further refined by a color filter, which purifies each color without the need for a polarizer, rendering outstanding color purity.
What's next for OLED?
Sony established a milestone with the introduction of the industry's first Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) television, the XEL-1. This 11" diagonal desktop color television is just the first step Sony is taking in the world of OLED televisions.
Larger screen sizes and higher native resolutions are possible. As substrates get thinner, the displays will in turn get thinner. There are a variety of other uses for OLED technology. In fact, Sony has developed a new application for OLED technology called Organic Thin Film Transistor (TFT).
The newly developed Organic TFT can be deposited on a flexible plastic display, which is the world's first full-color display that can project full color moving images even when the display is bent.
