Superior to transmissive LCD panels which require circuitry to be alongside the pixels. The circuitry for SXRD panels are located behind the pixels, allowing greater fill factor, life-like pictures, and the ultimate viewing pleasure. ADVANCED IRIS: Using an image-by-image control algorithm that detects light output via complex calculations, the Advanced Iris makes minute aperture adjustments to selectively brighten or darken each image frame. The result is a superior dynamic contrast ratio of up to 15 000:1, the highest in the Front Projector industry. Advanced Xenon Lamp PURE XENON LAMP: Produces the closest light quality of sunlight, bringing you closest to the brilliance and clarity of the sun – right to your screen. REAL COLOUR PROCESSING: Allows you to adjust a specific colour independent of other colours. You will find this function extremely useful when adjusting BRAVIA THEATRE specific hues to your preference. ALL RANGE CRISP FOCUS (ARC-F): This newly developed lens has improved centre focus by 8% and corner screen lens by 20% - resulting in surprisingly crisp on-screen true-to-life images.

This is the DIGITAL CINEMA AUTO CALIBRATION (DCAC) Setting up any surround sound system involves more than just connecting speakers. The system needs to be told what size the speakers are, the distance to way the world really is…and that’s just the way the listener, and some equaliser settings may be required. Systems that have Digital Cinema Auto Calibration (DCAC) come supplied with a microphone that has a long cable to allow for placement in the ideal listening position in the room. Once you have connected the microphone to the amplifier, you will be able BRAVIA Theatre wants you to experience it. to automatically set up your system to perfectly suit your requirements and size of your room. Setting up any system with DCAC is as simple as connecting and placing the supplied microphone and pressing “auto calibration” button on the remote control. And it will take only a few minutes! DIGITAL MEDIA PORT The Digital Media Port allows you to use your Sony DAV Home Theatre sound system to play music stored on portable music devices or PCs. You can connect DMP your devices to special bases or receivers, which connect to the Digital Media Port. Conveniently, title and performer information is displayed on the TV screen as the music is playing. There are separate Digital Media Port bases and receivers for different types of devices, including Sony Network Walkman®, iPod®, Bluetooth™ devices or PCs. S-FORCE Experience perfect virtual Surround Sound S-Force Pro Front Surround was designed to deliver realistic surround sound from just two front speakers and a sub-woofer. Sound waves reach our right and left ears separately, and the brain uses this information to correlate the location of the sound source and its relative distance. S-Force technology expresses the difference in sound wave spectrum and arrival time at each ear, so the effect is entirely virtual, allowing you to enjoy dynamic 5.1 Surround Sound in any space whatsoever. HDMI High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) transports video data and multi-channel digital audio - in a single cable. It connects compatible components, including DVD players, HDTV tuners and TVs. HDMI signals are digital which help you get the best possible picture from TVs that use digital technology to produce their images, like LCDs and Plasmas. BRAVIA THEATRE SYNC Provides you with multiple functions using HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) control capabilities. This gives you full control over your BRAVIA Theatre system with a single remote commander, and allows more convenient enjoyment of movies and TV. With the separate system components connected via HDMI, several new features are available, including One Touch Play, System Audio Control and System Standby.

Sony’s Component Composite Processor (CCP2) digitally cleans the input signal for further processing in BRAVIA Engine, while Sony’s Digital Reality Creation (DRC) takes the clean signal and generates High Definition picture. Sony’s Multi-Image Driver-X (MID-X) then enhances the High Definition picture by sharpening the vertical and horizontal edges. Sony’s BRAVIA Engine also boasts the industry’s first 14-Bit panel driver for enhanced reality and depth in picture dimension. As a result, you enjoy stunningly sharp images, brilliant contrast and less noise distortion - whatever the signal source - for the most realistic picture you’ll ever experience! BRAVIA ENGINE™ EX BRAVIA Engine™ Ex is an enhanced version of the renowned BRAVIA Engine 2) Flat Panel Display Driver Technology and introduces four new advanced processing stages: 3) Image Formal Technology 1) Composite Component Technology 4) Digital Reality Creation BRAVIA ENGINE™ PRO FULL DIGITAL VIDEO PROCESSOR This is an enhanced version of BRAVIA Engine, DRC-MFv2.5, which has the added ability to process interlaced, progressive and even HD video signals. Because it has increased processing power over previous DRC-MF circuits, it can do its processing and output them to 1080p with the least amount of conversions, avoiding degradation. This is in addition to the crisp details, outstanding contrast, eye-popping colours and dramatically fine detail reproduction that DRC-MF circuitry is known for. HIGH DEFINITION Created to be the premium standard for TV and broadcast programming, Full High Definition (HD) utilises 1080 scanning lines, offering double the quality and clarity of conventional 525-line analogue resolution. With HD products, you can enjoy intensely sharp pictures, superb digital realism, deep blacks and vibrant colours, and widescreen broadcast - all in the comfort of your home. While HD-Ready TVs are capable of accepting High Definition signals, only Full HD TVs are capable of displaying the complete 2 million pixel image. FLAT TELEVISION: The two types of flat televisions are LCD and Plasma. The Sony BRAVIA range features LCD as it offers several advantages over Plasma. These advantages are as follows: • Longer life span • Higher native resolution • Screen burn on Plasma The slim LCD televisions can be wall mounted or placed on their removable table-top stands giving you flexibility to suit your living room. The 178° viewing angle means that you can still get great contrast however you view the screen – giving you even more options for room layout.

  • Tvs Final Report
    Revising the Ecolabel Criteria for Televisions – Final Report April 2008 Executive Summary Background The existing EU Ecolabel criteria for Televisions (Commission Decision 2002/255/EC, March 2002) were developed at a time when the EU TV market was dominated by Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) technology. Today however, the market has changed markedly such that new technologies including Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) and Plasma Display Panel (PDP) technologies account for an increasing market share driven by consumer preference for larger screen sizes. Other developments are important drivers for change too including the development of High Definition and Digital television. These developments mean that the existing criteria’s applicability in the rapidly changing market place is becoming increasingly marginalised. Indeed the existing criteria’s relevance to non-CRT technology is questionable. Consequently, the TV criteria are in urgent need of an update if they are to keep pace with the market. AEA was pleased to work with the Commission in undertaking the revision exercise over the period Spring 2006 to Spring 2008. We were assisted by the ad-hoc working group (AHWG) that met twice during the period to discuss and inform the revision. AHWG members and others also lent advice to the project via email and individual meetings that were immensely helpful. In parallel with our work, other important work in support of product policy was underway that helped inform the ecolabel revision, namely: 1 The revision of the TV energy testing methodology. The importance of this work is that it is being undertaken in recognition of the fact that the TV products have changed markedly and that as a result the existing test method is inadequate for non-CRT technology.

    sustainability Article Shaping a Circular Economy in the Digital TV Industry: Focusing on Ecopreneurship through the Lens of Dynamic Capability Seungyeon Moon and Heesang Lee * Graduate School of Management of Technology, Sungkyunkwan University, Suwon 16419, Korea; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: In this study, we investigate how companies can contribute to achieving a circular economy (CE) in the electronics industry viewed through the lens of dynamic capability. In particular, we examine how companies can contribute through idiosyncratic ecopreneurship according to dynamic capabilities with three points: the dynamic capabilities of established companies, the formation of ecopreneurship according to idiosyncratic dynamic capabilities, and the shaping of a CE through the interplay of ecopreneurship and dynamic capabilities of established companies. We conducted a case study of five leading TV manufacturers (Samsung, LG, Sony, Hisense, and TCL) to verify our conceptual framework, which we derived from a literature review. The case study shows that a company’s contribution to the CE and ecopreneurship type largely depend on a combination of dynamic capabilities and business strategies. Based on the case study results, we derived managerial implications with three points: the approach of leading companies to CE with consideration of business strategies, leveraging ecopreneurship to gain competitiveness in the market, and the Citation: Moon, S.; Lee, H.
