QUALIA†engineers are given one, and only one, rule: there are no rules. Their mandate is to let their imaginations
run free. To reinvent, to create the best of the best, to see things not as they are but as they might be. If, for example,
QUALIA were to make a projection television, what would it be like?
The answer is QUALIA 006. The world’s first SXRDtrear projection television capable of full (1080 p) High Definition
resolution, QUALIA 006 makes good on a long-unfulfilled promise: a true in-home theater experience. The
brilliant 70" screen employs a range of proprietary technologies to create a picture of startling clarity and beauty.

SXRDtPROJECTION / For the first time, a screen of
extraordinary proportion is capable of equally
extraordinary images. Employing the same technology
that is at the heart of the QUALIA 004 projector, QUALIA
006 takes rear projection television to the next level. The
SXRDtprojection system delivers an incredibly rapid
refresh rate, creating a smooth, film-like picture. The
heart of the system is a series of high definition panels,
which employ an extremely thin, fast-responding liquid
crystal layer. This virtually eliminates motion distortion,
creating superb performance for sports and action films.
WEGA ENGINEt/All High Definition televisions need to
convert conventional, 480-line Standard Definition
programming for display on the High Definition screen.
But not all methods for performing this conversion are
equal. The Sony WEGA Enginetsystem incorporates
Digital Reality Creation®(DRC) circuitry. Unlike a simple
line doubler, Sony DRC replaces analog picture patterns
with High Definition digital equivalents. In the process,
DRC doubles the number of scanning lines and doubles
the number of pixels on each line, creating a picture with
much greater density and detail.

WITHOUT SCREEN DOOR EFFECT / The SXRD projection system used by QUALIA 006 has a twofold effect. It removes
the need for controlling transistors in the pixel frames (that function is moved earlier in the projection process), thereby
greatly reducing the space between pixels. That allows the screen to have many more, and smaller, pixels. Indeed, the
QUALIA 006 screen’s resolution measures an extraordinarily dense 1920x1080, far exceeding the previous industry high
mark 1366x720. The result is spectacularly increased clarity and definition, creating breathtaking detail and color.
WITH SCREEN DOOR EFFECT / Traditional digital projection systems create an artifact known as the “screen door
effect,” caused by the area that frames each and every pixel. This results in an unavoidable loss of definition and
picture quality.
Simulated image.

EQUAL OPTICAL LENGTH / The unequal lengths of red, green and blue light sources have always plagued
projection television systems. A variety of color correction schemes have been used to make up for the resulting
color shading and other artifacts. QUALIA 006 eliminates the need for color correction through the use of an
equal-length optical system, which routes the light sources along different paths, allowing them to reach all three
SXRD panels simultaneously, resulting in accurate color reproduction.
