CES 2012 Sony says the future of LCD screens is ‘Crystal’ clear

Via SONY @ CES 2012
 
This year’s CES in downtown Las Vegas has, so far, been a showcase for screens of all kinds. From tablet and phone displays to massive multi-TV screens, the companies vying for king of the hill are endless. One company though says that the future of viewing displays is Crystal, and after seeing it I might have to agree.
 
The screen in question is Sony’s Crystal LED Display which is a massive 55 inch behemoth that houses an astounding six million (2mil of each color- RGB) edge-light LED’s! No, that wasn’t a typo, the Crystal screen is said to be superior to both Plasma and regular LCD displays, according to Sony. Rather than light the screen from behind with LED’s, Sony’s display has them mounted ‘IN’ the screen, which gives the display a better contrast and a wider range of color gamut over traditional LCD screens. Using LED’s instead of pixels also lowers the power consumption and increases the response time as well.
 
Whether or not we as consumer will ever see these types of displays in our homes is anyone’s guess, as some of you might remember we were supposed to have Samsung’s AMOLED transparent screens from CES 2011. Regardless, it is an impressive display and I hope Sony follows through with their prototype to bring us better resolution for the future.
