TP Vision announces Philips OLED TV with micro-lens array

TV maker TP Vision has announced its first OLED TV with a micro-lens array. The new display technology is also in new TVs from LG and Panasonic and comes from LG Display. The technology should enable higher brightness and lower power consumption.

It concerns the OLED + 908, says TP Vision. The TV comes in variants with 4K screens of 55″, 65″ and 77″ and, thanks to the addition of MLA, reaches a maximum brightness of 2100 candelas per square meter, the manufacturer claims. That is higher than previous TVs from the brand The manufacturer does not say how big the difference in power consumption is at lower brightnesses.An MLA panel must reduce power consumption.

Mla adds an extra layer to those panels, counteracting internal scattering of light within the panel’s substrate and actually emitting a greater portion of the light towards the viewer. With the same electrical input, this means more light output, while the viewing angle of the screens does not suffer.

The TV also receives a P5 AI processor that controls a light sensor to measure the color temperature of the room and adjust the image and Ambilight. The TV runs on Google TV OS and will be released in the fall for an as yet unknown price.

There will also be a cheaper version in the form of the OLED808, which does not have an MLA screen and therefore achieves a maximum brightness of 1000 candelas per square meter in the 55″, 65″ and 77″ variants. There will also be a 42 “- and a 48” version, but the manufacturer does not say how clear they can be. The smallest version of 42 “also gets less powerful speakers, namely 50W instead of 70W. The OLED808 will be released in May for as yet unknown prices. There will also be an OLED708 later in the year, but the manufacturer says nothing about that.
