Sony has introduced an ultra-thin OLED TV
Sony, second in the LCD TV market - Samsung first - has paddled into new waters.
The XEL-1 is a record-breaking device in its category, as Sony's television is based on the world's first OLED technology - Organic Light-Emitting Diode.
OLED: structural design
Nothing proves the potential of the technology better than using it to produce televisions that are more energy efficient, narrower, lighter and more beautiful than LCDs. What goes against them, however, is that their lifespan is currently much shorter: Sony gave the 3mm (!) Narrow XEL-1 this at approximately 30 operating hours, which is less than half of today’s LCD TVs.
The parameters of the Sony product are as follows:
- image diagonal: 11 inches
- resolution: 960 × 540
- contrast ratio: 1: 000
- speakers: 2 × 1 W
- other: HDMI, TV tuner
- Sizes: 287 × 140 × 253 mm
- power consumption: 45 W
- weight: 2 kg
Sales of the device will begin on the first day of December for $ 1740. Sony plans to get 2000 XEL-1s off the production line every month.
