TV screen technology

At Sony, we’re always looking for ways to improve picture performance and deliver the best viewing experience. It’s why we’re recognised for high quality. LCD screen technology is just one of the ways a BRAVIA® TV can enhance picture contrast, improve TV design and create a more immersive way to watch TV.

OptiContrast Panels – a richer viewing experience

The TV ‘panel’ is the layer between the TV backlight, such as LED, and you, the viewer. How this is constructed has a significant impact on picture quality.

OptiContrast Panels have a special resin layer which absorbs any diffused light delivered from the backlight. What you see is high contrast and natural colours on screen – bringing out detail in the darkest movie scenes – and a real sense of depth.

This special resin layer inside OptiContrast Panels also absorbs ambient light in the room. When watching TV, it reduces glare from light sources such as lamps or sunlight. Turn off your TV and you have a beautiful surface to enhance the room – it’s part of our Monolithic Design concept.
