LED HDTV – New Technology LCD HDTV

The new LED technology impresses

LED HDTV is an LCD HDTV that uses LEDs for backlighting, which gives a more contrast-rich image and the possibility of an even flatter screen.

We see also the concept of “LED screen” being used on screens that consist exclusively of diodes, but here we’re talking about a type used only on very large screens and are therefore not present on HDTV screens in living rooms.

Advantage of LED HDTV Technology

With an LED TV, a number of advantages over the widely LCD TVs:

  • Image is very contrast-full, giving a darker black color.
  • The screen can be incredibly thin. Some models are down to 2.5 cm thick.
  • They use far less power. Compared to LCD, a corresponding LED TV use up to 40% less power.
  • The frequency of screen-update is higher, which is an advantage of pictures with movements such as in sports and action movies.
  • TV is quicker to turn on (and off) the image.
  • When the TV thrown out, is less environmental impact.


More about the technology behind LED TV

LCD HDTV with LED backlighting technology from LED – Light emitting diode, i.e. light diodes.

LEDs can provide a high brightness with low power consumption. The LEDs are positioned along the edge of the TV screen and lights all the way behind the LCD panel. It sits not therefore diodes in a larger area behind the screen, which perhaps might otherwise believe.

Basically the TV is still an LCD television and therefore it is still liquid crystals in the panel, which lets the light from the diodes pass, thus forming the image itself.

With the introduction of Edge LED technology in 2008 was further developed for that you could do the whole thin screens down to a single centimeter.

LED TV on the market today

The first commercial LED television came on the market by Sony in 2005 – and since then it has strongly both with the further development and the Committee. The major electronics manufacturers like Samsung, Sony and LG have all top models with LED technology.
