* 623.4 mm, and 419.7 mm (respectively), measured diagonally. Sony OLED – Self-emitting Display Device Sony OLED creates light by recombining an electron and a hole within certain organic materials. The process of emitting light is extremely effi cient when compared to other technologies currently used for display.

Input Signal [%] Superb uniformity control The Sony OLED processor offers superb uniformity across all signal levels at every point of the screen. OLED-panel uniformity is precisely measured and corrected using a proprietary RGB LUT (look-up table) adjustment system. R-LUT...
Advantages of the Sony OLED Technology Accurate Black Reproduction A key advantage of Sony OLED is the fact that each pixel can be turned completely off. No other display technology is able to offer this. LCD either raises black luminance due to intrinsic light leakage, or reduces black luminance with artificial local dimming technologies.
Quick Response with Virtually No Motion Blur The Sony OLED gray-to-gray switching speed (measured in microseconds, μs) is much faster than that of the LCD (measured in milliseconds, ms).* This fast response benefi ts a variety of applications and uses. For example, in sports broadcasting, when camera pans would become blurred with an LCD, they remain sharp and clear with OLED.
