For sale in Japan on 30 July 2008, Sony's green product, new flat-panel
32-inch TV 150,000 yen (US$ 1,400) Bravia
KDL-32JE1 offers ecological consumers advantages of less energy consumption
(70% less a year) than regular models with same image quality. Sony
was able to reduce carbon dioxide emissions totalling 79 kilograms (174
pounds) a year, without sacrificing quality by developing a brighter
back light and better filtering, which produces light more efficiently.
The TVs will have liquid crystal displays along with high-definition
digital broadcast capabilities
OLED TV. The XEL-1 is the first
organic (based on carbon) light-emitting diode television. Sony calls
it "the next big thing" in television technology. Sony means
big in terms of quality, not size. OLED TVs are actually amazingly thin.
Sony's breakthrough design boasts a 3 millimetre-thin panel and mind-boggling
picture quality with amazing contrast, outstanding brightness, exceptional
color reproduction and a rapid response time.
The XEL-1 is tiny. It measures just under
12 by 10 by 5.5 inches overall and weighs a little more than 4 pounds.
The small, super-thin screen measures just 11 inches diagonally in the
standard 16-by-9 ration widescreen format. The display's native resolution
is 960 by 540 pixels.
30 June 2008, Sony introduced its new "BRAVIA"
JE1 series (KDL-32JE1), featuring the industry's highest level of energy
efficiency for 32 inch digital LCD TVs. By enhancing the efficiency
of backlight tube light emission and the light transmission of optical
film, Sony has achieved industry-leading performance in energy efficiency
(232% of Japanese energy conservation standards), annual power consumption
(86kWh/year) and momentary power consumption*4 (89W).
From the KDL-32JE1 onwards, Sony will also increase its
use of flame-retardant plastic materials, recycled by Sony in-house.
Furthermore, Sony has also begun recycling waste material from plastic
optical film for use as parts in BRAVIA LCD TVs. Sony will continue
its efforts to minimize the environmental impact of its TVs products,
in terms of both energy efficiency (reducing power consumption during
TV use), and resource conservation (reducing the use of new materials
in production).
