- Basic HDTV Technology
|
-
- LED TVs use liquid crystal illumination, just like LCD TVs. But unlike LCDs they include a backlight made of several light-emitting diodes (LEDs)
- The LEDs can be evenly distributed around the back of the TVs panel, or placed along the edges of the screen to create a very thin display chassis
|
-
- LCD TVs use liquid crystal compressed between two glass plates
- The picture is created when electricity is applied to these crystals
