TV tomorrow. Sony today.
The first solid-state TV. The first vertically flat Trinitron ® picture tube.
And now, the world’s first Organic LED television: Sony XEL-1. It’s
our latest revolutionary advance in the art and science of visual
entertainment – a sleek OLED panel as thin as 3 credit cards, with
incredible contrast ratio greater than 1 million to 1, outstanding
brilliance, and exceptional color. Pixel for pixel, it might be the
best TV picture on the planet. Anxious to see what the future will
look like? View it today – on Sony’s Organic LED TV.
Picture:
like nothing you’ve ever seen.
Incredibly tight pixel density produces
extremely high resolution – and Sony’s
patented Super Top Emission ™ technology
intensifies brightness and widens color
gamut for better color purity.
Design:
nobody does it better.
The XEL-1 just looks like a Sony – which
means a graceful flexible shape,
ultra-thin frame styling and XMB
™ (Xross
Media Bar ™ ) control that makes menus
and user settings simple and intuitive.
Connections:
bring all your content.
The XEL-1 incorporates a simple
one-cable 1080p HDMI
™1 connector
plus powerful DMex ™ hookup – so you
can expand your horizons with optional
BRAVIA ® Link modules for Internet video
access and more.

What’s next for Sony OLED?
It begins with XEL-1: the industry’s first Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED)
television. And the possibilities of this revolutionary new technology will
have the whole world watching.
Desktop Monitors, Medical Imagers, Heads-up Displays and larger screen
sizes are all under development. Thinner substrates, which make possible
even thinner screens – so thin, they can be flexible.
We’re working on a new OLED application called Organic Thin Film Transfer
(OTFT). Sprayed on a flexible plastic sheet, the OTFT layer can display a
high-quality color image even when the sheet is bent – so a television
picture can be displayed on a curved surface.
There’s more, of course – so to learn more about Sony’s exploration of this
exciting TV technology, please visit us at:
