Premium HDR
A black level lower than .0005 nits and a max brightness of at least 540 nits
~or~
A black level lower than .05 nits and a max brightness of at least 1,000 nits
Must meet one of these two standards….Why?

What Does it All Mean?!

13. presented by!
Resolution !

14. presented by!
Frame Rate!

15. presented by!
Why a Curve?!
Viewing Angles Improve
Reflec>ons are Limited
Less Keystone Effect

16. presented by!
Contrast Ratios!

17. presented by!
Contrast Ratio!
• Comparison of the brightest whites to
the darkest blacks
• 300:1 Brightness (luminance) of the
white areas in the image are 300 >mes
brighter than that of the blacks
• Important as this affects our ability to
perceive both image brightness and
image detail

Examples of Contrast!

21. presented by!
Black is the new Black?!
“Black is the absence of light and therefore
the absence of color…...”

22. Perfect Black

OLED Technology!

24. presented by!
OLED!
Organic Light-Emifng Diode
Doesn’t require a backlight
Thin and low-energy consuming
Eastman Kodak invented OLED
technology in the early 1980s

25. presented by!
Lifetime of OLED!
Display used 10 hours per day for 10 years
Total Usage = 36,520 hours
LG claims OLEDs lifespan of 100,000 hours
2013 Lifespan was 36,000 hours
Technology development
LCD Half-Life typically rated for
60-70,000 hours

28. presented by!
How it’s Made!
• LED
– A large backlight shines through the screen
– Full Array and Edge Lit

29. presented by!
How it’s Made!
Edge Lit Full Array

30. • LED Full Array
• U>lizing Local Dimming
• Zones of control for backligh>ng
• Samsung KS9800 150 zones
• Sony X940D 96 zones

31. LED
• Actually Blue Leds coated with a Yellow
Phosphor

Light Leakage!

34. presented by!
Great Example!

35. presented by!
• LCD TV
– Pixel told to show “black” it simply shuts off

36. presented by!

37. presented by!
LED/LCD!
• Use LEDs to Provide the “White” Backlight
• LEDs and White Light – Not So Much
• Color Changes

39. presented by!
• Emissive
– Each cell or pixel produces it’s own light
independently of the others
