Sony will bring its groundbreaking OLED A1E Bravia TV with Acoustic Surface technology to retail next week with a kick-off event at Los Angeles-based premium independent retailer Video & Audio Center (VAC).
The TVs have no independent speakers but transmit sound through the entire screen surface. Taking advantage of the OLED's backlight-less structure, Sony developed the sound technology that allows the entire screen to resonate the audio soundtrack. The TV enables a fusion of image and sound, with voices appearing to come directly from the characters speaking and sounds coming directly from the relative position of the action on the screen.
