LED TV Technology

LED TV Technology

The terms used for LED TV Technology are LED backlit LCD television or LED TV, these LED TV terms used by many of the large manufacturers. An LED TV is an LCD TV that uses LED backlighting technology rather than fluorescent lights used in the traditionally known LCD televisions.

The LED technology TV’s come mainly in two styles, The dynamic RGB LED televisions that can be positioned right behind the panel, or the others are white edge LED Televisions set around the outside of the screen which use special diffusion panels to spread the light right across the screen evenly from behind the screen.

RGB Dynamic LED Technology is the way of backlighting but allows some dimming to occur locally which in turn creates areas of darkness right across the TV screen. This means you are bale to see much truer black colours and much better and higher dynamic contrast.
Edge LED Technology is the method of backlighting and allowing LED TVs to be produced extremely thin. The light is diffused right across the screen by special panels which produce a uniform colour across the screen.

Sharp, one of the main manufacturers has also produced LED TV technology that aligns the LED bulbs on back of the TV like the RGB Dynamic LED technology, but the downfall is that it lacks the local dimming of the other LED TV technology.

It is important to understand that an LED TV technology with backlit LCD TVs are different from the standard LCD TVs

• A greater more dynamic contrast can be got compared with standard LCD TV technology.
• With the edge LED technology lighting it can be much thinner. Some of the current models are just over three centimetres thick.
• Consumption of power is much, much less. In some cases more than 35% less compared to ordinary LCD TV technology of the same screen size.
• There is a much less of an environmental issue when disposed of.

LED TV technology producers can use the LED backlight technology instead of the standard Fluorescent Lamps used in nearly all of the LCD televisions. It is very important to know the difference with this method of backlighting, a standard LCD panel coming from a true LED display. When a television is described as 'LED' there can be a vast difference from that of the self-illuminating display technology. With the use of the term 'LED TV technology' in the United Kingdom, the Advertising Standards Authority has made it perfectly clear in recent letters that it does not object to the use of this term, but they do require it to be clarified and made completely clear in any advertising.

An LED backlight does offer a few benefits over the regular CCFL backlit TV technology, including a lower power usage. Compared with standard CCFL, there are also be benefits to colour. However advancements in the CCFL production will produce wider colour gamuts and lower consumption of power are possible.
