Sony Corp. is all proud to unveil the world’s first commercial OLED (organic light-emitting diode) high definition TV, the XEL-1. The company was in news for the same since January. The XEL-1 TV has an 11-inch screen, and is just 3mm thin, the reason being that the TV doesn’t require backlighting. The materials used are carbon-based and emit light when an electric current is applied. Measuring a mere 287 × 140 × 253mm, the super-slim television touts a built-in tuner, 960 x 450 resolution, HDMI input, USB and Ethernet, two 1W built-in speakers, low power consumption of 45 W, and a dramatic 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio.

The XEL-1 has the capability to relay video 1,000 times faster than liquid crystal displays thereby eliminating the blur of LCD TV imagery. The XEL-1 will go on sale in Japan in December for $1,735.
