Dolby Laboratories and SIM2 Multimedia have collaborated to show off their latest display technology. The high-dynamic-range (HDR)-enabled LCD flat screen display uses Dolby's new LED local dimming technology in the backlight, claiming to deliver picture quality that matches real-world visual perception of depth, detail, and colour.
The prototype TV is a 46-inch 1080p LCD screen comprised of 1,838 LEDs, a brightness of over 4,000 cd/m2, an infinite contrast ratio (full on / full off), 16 bits of luminance, and over 95% luminance uniformity through the panel.
The design features a Xilinx Virtex field programmable gate arrays chipset which enables the implementation of Dolby's complex high-dynamic-range algorithms in the SIM2 display.
"This prototype is a stunning example of what Dolby's HDR technologies can bring to the LCD market," said Bharath Rajagopalan, Senior Marketing Manager, HDR, Dolby Laboratories. "As Dolby holds patents that are fundamental to local dimming-based HDR, we welcome the opportunity to showcase our innovative technology that delivers a dramatic improvement to LCD displays."
