6 XEL-1 Overview OLED Display The OLED (organic light-emitting diode) display contains organic materials that emit light when an electric current is passed through them (see Figure 1). As the light emissions are self-generated, the level can be controlled by altering the strength of the current. Because there is no need for a backlight, an OLED display is much thinner and lighter than a conventional LCD panel. It also features high contrast, high brightness, excellent colour reproduction and rapid response to moving pictures. Light Welcome to the World of OLED Organic light-emitting diode TV XEL-1 realises unparalleled picture quality Figure 1 Cathode Electron transport layer Emissive layer Hole transport layer Anode Picture Quality Brightness Enjoy stunning pictures of stars twinkling in a pitch-black sky or fireworks spectacularly lighting up the night sky. With its light-emitting structure, the OLED display can reproduce virtually any colour by combining the red, green and blue light emitted by the organic materials, while black is shown by no light emission. True black is created by preventing all light emission completely, achieving the high contrast that conventional displays cannot match. There are broadly two ways to extract the light emitted by the organic materials (see Figure 2). In the bottom emission method, the light is extracted from the TFT substrate side. Since 6 GB

7 the drive circuits and wires are present on the TFT substrate, the area from which light can be extracted is limited. In top emission, on the other hand, light is extracted from the opposite side of the TFT substrate. Because there are almost no obstacles, the light can be extracted efficiently. Sony s OLED displays use the top emission method, ensuring high brightness and superb picture quality. Cathode Transparent anode Semitransparent cathode Organic layer TFT Bottom emission method decreases, the colour purity of the light passing through the semitransparent cathode increases. As a result, each colour is vividly and clearly reproduced. The colour purity is further enhanced by passing the light through a colour filter. The self-luminous nature of the OLED display not only generates the full colour spectrum of bright images, but delivers vivid colour reproduction capability at nearly all brightness levels to produce stunning pictures (see Figure 5). Polarising film used to be the common method of preventing reflection of ambient light. The use of such polarising film, however, causes a reduction in brightness that would compromise the properties of the OLED display. The use of colour filters, on the other hand, prevents reflection of ambient light and lessens its effects while enabling the image to be reproduced in its essential colours. In addition to the high brightness and high efficiency of the top emission method, by selecting the film thickness to match the wavelength of the light and using colour filters, Sony has succeeded in producing brighter, more colourful images. This unique system of Sony s is called Super Top Emission. XEL-1 Overview Glass substrate Figure 2 Anode Organic layer TFT Top emission method Vividness Enjoy colourful pictures of gardens full of spring flowers and gorges bathed in vibrant autumn colours. Colours are reproduced using the red, green and blue organic layers. The film thickness is selected to match the wavelength for each colour (see Figure 3). The light emitted in the organic layer is reflected back and forth between the anode and the cathode. Only light whose wavelength matches the thickness of the film interferes, increasing in strength (see Figure 4). As the light of other superfluous wavelengths Figure 3 Figure 4 red green blue Colour filter Semitransparent cathode Organic layer Anode TFT Glass substrate Glass substrate Semitransparent cathode Organic layer Anode Glass substrate (Continued) 7 GB

8 Brightness v' u' Colour reproduction area Figure 5 Depth and Spatial Effect Enjoy dramatic pictures of the soaring Himalayas stretching into the distance or drift ice floating out to sea. The high contrast, high peak brightness and wide colour reproduction featured by the OLED display produce realistic images with the texture of the original. Exquisite shades of black make the surrounding colours stand out, creating a sharp image and enabling the OLED display to reproduce depth and perspective as well as texture. Stable Moving Pictures Enjoy clear pictures of a fast-moving football match or an action-packed film with little image lag. The OLED display s organic materials emit light when subjected to an electric current. The light emission level changes instantly when the current is altered, and the panel s responsiveness is such that the slightest change in colour tone is performed as quickly as a colour shift from white to black, ensuring minimal image lag regardless of the pictures displayed. The XEL-1 features unique image processing technology called Fine Motion. Creating enhanced motion based on the image content, coupled with the OLED display s unique features, Fine Motion reproduces fast-moving scenes with incredible smoothness and clarity. 8 GB

9 Main Unit Display A significant benefit of the self-luminous OLED display is that, unlike conventional liquid crystal displays, it does not require a backlight. The organic layer is so thin that it is measured in nanometers (nm). An OLED display is about as thick as the glass panels aligned on either side of the light-emitting organic material layer, protecting it. XEL-1 Overview Arm The lightness of the panel allows great flexibility in the position of the arm. The panel design with its offset arm creates the impression of floating in mid-air. Pedestal The main high-density mounting board and compact speakers are incorporated into the pedestal, which is distanced from the panel. Storing the highly compact components in the pedestal contributes to the impression of the panel floating in mid-air. Rear View Whether placed against a wall or standing on a desk, the XEL-1 is stylish and elegant. When standing alone, its sophisticated design can be appreciated from all sides. The rear panel has a mirror-like metal surface, creating a sense of oneness with the pedestal and arm. Enjoy the XEL-1 s stunning pictures to your heart s content. 9 GB
