Product Details - XEL1

Incredibly Slim
OLED TVs are incredibly slim because organic material directly emits light so OLED display panels do not require a thick backlight or complex construction like other flat panel technologies. The Sony® XEL-1 is an unbelievable 3mm thin (without its stand)!
Blazing Fast Response Time
When turned “on,” individual organic elements are stimulated directly by electric current, and therefore response time is incredibly fast.
Outstanding Contrast
When an organic pixel is turned “off” the result is complete darkness. This results in deep blacks and an unheard of contrast ratio of 1,000,000:1. Yes, that’s a one million to one contrast ratio!
Exceptional Color Reproduction
Sony’s unique “Super Top Emission” technology, which combined with a special micro-cavity and color filters, enhances color purity, achieves extraordinary high color contrast. In fact, 105% of the NTSC color space can be achieved!
Wide Viewing Angles
OLED colors and contrast look amazing even at wide 178° viewing angles due to the direct view nature of the panel. Pixel colors look fantastic even at wide 178° viewing angles for an outstanding viewing experience.
High Brightness
Because OLED elements individually emit light that are directly displayed on the screen, high brightness levels can be achieved.
Energy Efficiency
OLED technology delivers a more efficient means of utilizing light, which is generated by the organic material itself instead of an always on backlight; also, when elements are in their “off” state, they consume no power whatsoever.
