82” BRAVIA LCD panel prototype was demo as a

Technology within the 82” model (CES 2006)
The 82” LCD panel above implemented the world's first color range (the area that
shows existing color, using Red, Green and Blue as axis of graph) that is “xvYCC”
compliant. xvYCC is an extended international standard based on the sYCC standard
used in still pictures and conventional color gamut standards used for video and
broadcast. The standard was accepted by the International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC) in October 2005. The technology implements a high-resolution
signal processing system to enable a wider color reproduction capability of TVs.
According to Sony “This standard will expand the current color data range by
approximately 1.8 times more based on “Munsell Color Cascade” (provided by
Dr.Pointer, and measured by NPL, UK, is a color chart that defines all natural object
colors. It is used to evaluate color expression of displays), and it was successfully
reached due to the newly developed high-resolution signal processing system.
Video cameras complying with this standard will be able to record a color variation
that is very close to what human eyes can recognize, and TVs complying with this
standard will be able to reproduce visual images almost in the same picture quality
as it was recorded. In addition, LCD TVs will be able to show the detailed color
variation of movie scenes, the different shades of a color, e.g. the red color of
paprika or a tomato, as well as numerous color tones of petal.”
Sony added: “Sony promotes the concept of “Full HD World”, as it enables
consumers to enjoy a wider variety of high resolution video sources at home via
digital high definition broadcast, HDV-ready digital camcorder and new optical discs
such as Blu-ray. This “xvYCC” standard realizes the reproduction of truly natural and
high resolution picture images in a wider color range, which represents a step further
towards the new display era.”
