 Accurate Color Reproduction
Sony’s Super Top Emission technology not only offers a wide 
color gamut with its purity of the three primary colors, but 
also maintains this wide color gamut throughout the entire 
luminance range. While all other display devices have 
limitations in reproducing accurate colors, especially in the 
low signal levels,TRIMASTER EL system is truly an ideal display 
device for picture evaluation. With OLED, users see the details 
in the blacks, and see the colors as well.

 Accurate Black Reproduction
A key advantage of TRIMASTER EL is the fact that each pixel 
can be turned completely off. No other display technology 
is able to offer this. LCD either raises black luminance due 
to intrinsic light leakage, or reduces black luminance with 
artificial local dimming technologies. CRT always applies a 
bias voltage to place the gun at the proper operating level. 
All of these display devices have some limitation in accuracy 
of black reproduction. In comparison,TRIMASTER EL is 
capable of reproducing accurate black with each individual 
pixel, enabling users to evaluate each picture image faithfully 
to the signal.

The TRIMASTER EL gray-to-gray switching speed (measured 
in microseconds, μs) is much faster than that of the LCD 
(measured in milliseconds, ms).* This fast response benefits 
a variety of applications and uses. For example, in sports 
broadcasting, when camera pans would become blurred 
with an LCD, they remain sharp and clear with OLED. And with 
moving titles or graphics, when text can be difficult to read 
on an LCD, OLED displays clear text, regardless of speed or 
direction.
