Sony Unveils 'True RGB' Mini‑LED Backlight for Bravia TVs

First Bravia models are slated for spring release.

Overview

  • Sony announced True RGB and showed it to reporters, with the first TVs using it planned for Bravia this spring.
  • The backlight replaces standard blue LEDs and quantum dots with Mini‑LEDs that house separate red, green and blue diodes, each driven on its own.
  • Sony says this design delivers purer colors, higher peak brightness and the largest color volume it has achieved in a home TV.
  • In press demos, images showed very little blooming and better off‑angle color, with highlights nearing 4,000 nits while using less energy than rival RGB sets.
  • Sony cites proprietary optics, new drive electronics and pro‑monitor algorithms built over two decades of work, and independent lab reviews and proof of mass‑production readiness are still pending.
