Overview

Welcome to the World of OLED TV

Thank you for purchasing this Sony XEL-1. This television is equipped with an organic lightemitting diode (OLED) display panel that produces superb picture quality. This technology brings a multitude of benefits to this television. Experience the beautiful images that OLED offers!

What is OLED?

An organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display panel includes organic materials that emit light when an electric current is passed through them. The strength of luminescence is controlled by the amount of electric current.

Benefits of OLED

High Brightness

The self-emitting nature of the OLED display panel allows for more efficient light output, creating bright and vivid images.

High Contrast Ratio

In addition to the bright and vivid images produced by the OLED display panel, black level is created by completely stopping light emission. This allows the panel to achieve a uniquely high level of contrast.

Vivid Color Reproduction

OLED display panels use separate organic layers to produce red, green, and blue light, which are filtered to achieve greater color purity. As a result, each color is vividly and clearly reproduced.

Quick Response Time

Light from the OLED display panel is emitted instantly when electricity is supplied, enabling the OLED very fast response time.
