HDTV and Home Theater Podcast - Podcast #409: LED TV Technology

[arad]

When we first started our podcast there were five competing technologies vying for your living room. Today its pretty much down to LCD and Plasma. Most would say LCD is running away with the market but Plasma is hanging in there. So what about LED? LED is not a new TV technology but rather a different way to light the LCD. A Liquid Crystal Display is a glass panel that works by controlling the opacity of segments of itself by varying the electrical signal. Each individual segment, called a pixel, acts as a shutter to control the amount of light being passed through. The light source is what we will be focusing on today.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=htguys.wordpress.com&blog=8935650&post=117&subd=htguys&ref=&feed=1" />
