Sony will soon reveal its 2025 TV lineup but it’s the models coming next next year and beyond that are really worth getting excited about.
The reason is RGB LED backlighting.
KEY POINTS:
- Independent drive RGB LED with proprietary backlight control technology
- Unique proprietary advanced backlight control technology
- Adjusts luminance in harmony with colour gradation
- Peak brightness levels of over 4000 cd/m
- Processes signal at a high speed and with high precision at a high bitrate of 96 bits
- Equipped with approximately twice the processing power and pixel correction technology compared to conventional local dimming processing
Sony developed the world’s first LCD television with a full-array RGB LED backlight in 2004. This month Sony announced it had developed a new display system using an independent drive RGB LED with a high-density LED backlight that can individually control three primary colours – R (red), G (green), and B (blue) [RGB], and suitable for large screens.
Instead of a white or blue backlight, the RGB LED system allows each RGB colour to emit light independently, resulting in high colour purity and wide colour gamut. This backlight control technology enables faithful reproduction of delicate hues and subtle gradations of light across every corner of the display, even on large screens. And that’s the big deal with this technology, it really has no limit with screen size. So you’ll it in 100-inch plus screens.
This is similar to what Hisense unveiled at CES with a working model on the showroom floor. Read more about it here.
Sony stated in its media release, “This system is to begin mass production in 2025, aiming to expand its integration into consumer televisions and displays for content creation.”
So it’s unlikely we’ll see this technology in a Bravia until next year.
