Sony's New RGB LED Backlight Tech: A Mini LED Killer?

Sony announced a new TV display technology using individual RGB LEDs for backlighting. Called "General RGB LED Backlight Technology," it combines the high brightness of Mini LED with the high contrast of OLED. A prototype shown at Sony's Tokyo headquarters boasted 4000 cd/m² brightness and superior color gamut. Compared to Sony's existing Mini LED and QD-OLED TVs, the RGB LED prototype excelled in color reproduction and viewing angles, though some blooming was still present. While not entirely novel, Sony believes its expertise in backlighting and image processing will yield a reliable and stable product, offering a compelling alternative for large-screen, high-brightness TVs.
