Display

The Quantum Dot Technology – or quantum dot LED (QLED) – provides a significantly brighter and more detailed picture than LED models, with sharper contrasts and more vibrant colours. This technology works by placing a layer of quantum dots in front of a regular LED backlight panel, with each of these dots emitting an individual colour. This creates a more detailed and vibrant display than standalone LED.
