Sony Electronics Inc. announced it has developed a new display system incorporating an independent drive RGB LED with a high-density LED backlight that can individually control three primary colors – R (red), G (green) and B (blue) (RGB), and that is suitable for large screens. This panel allows each RGB color to emit light independently, resulting in high color purity and the ability to reproduce images with a vibrant, wide color gamut. Additionally, the display system is equipped with Sony’s proprietary advanced backlight control technology, designed to maximize the panel’s characteristics.
