  • Page 6: Xel-1 Overview

    XEL-1 Overview Welcome to the World of OLED Organic light-emitting diode TV “XEL-1” realises unparalleled picture quality OLED Display The OLED (organic light-emitting diode) display contains organic materials that emit light when an electric current is passed through them (see Figure 1). As the light emissions are self-generated, the level can be controlled by altering the strength of the current.
  • Page 7 TFT substrate. Because there are almost no obstacles, the light can be extracted efficiently. Sony’s OLED displays use the top emission method, ensuring high brightness and superb picture quality.
  • Page 8 Brightness Colour reproduction area Figure 5 Depth and Spatial Effect Enjoy dramatic pictures of the soaring Himalayas stretching into the distance or drift ice floating out to sea. The high contrast, high peak brightness and wide colour reproduction featured by the OLED display produce realistic images with the texture of the original.
  • Page 9 Main Unit Display A significant benefit of the self-luminous OLED display is that, unlike conventional liquid crystal displays, it does not require a backlight. The organic layer is so thin that it is measured in nanometers (nm). An OLED display is about as thick as the glass panels aligned on either side of the light-emitting organic material layer, protecting it.
