The revolution of LEDs and how it "should" completely transform TVs

https://ift.tt/eA8V8J

Following the announcement made by Corsair at CES 2019 on their new RGB technology called Capellix seems really impressive for multiple reasons.

1) it's great features which I'm gonna call "big three"

• Efficiency

• Brightness

• Power consumption

2) It's incredible small form size factor

3) Flexibility

The way TVs work is to have a fluorescent ( these guys for any old timers :) as a backlight (at least this is the case with LCD TVs), light travels to a polariser panel which stops any vertical polarised light and allows horizontal polarised light into a liquid crystal (will talk about it later) after that is another polariser, this time it's vertical. Which means it will block the horizontal light that the first polariser allowed and will only allow vertical light. This mean no light will pass it right? But it does, that because of the liquid crystals. In short terms, etched glass is placed on the back and front of those crystals, making their orientation predictable enough to be able to change the polarization of the light coming in by 90°. So when the first polarizer allows horizontal light through, the light will "twist" and have a vertical polarization allowing it to pass through the second polarizer. Unless current is applied to the liquid crystals which will stop the polarization and therefore no light will pass: Watch this for visual aid.

After that is the usual pixels we always hear about, depending on which direction the light is forced to takes, it will activate the pixels showing colours.

Problem with this is not 100% of the light gets blocked when wanted to, this might be called bleeding affect which allows some light to pass through in areas when it shouldn't.

The same is true for LED TVs, the difference between the two is that instead of the back panel being lit up by fluorescent, it's being lit by LED light. So better colours, contrast and energy saving.

What I'm wondering about is (yes I'm her to ask a question lol) if manufacturers uses the Capellix LED technology. It will revolutionise the budget industry, it's cheap, sharp and energy efficient. It should in theory improve colour accuracy, contracts ratios maybe to even perform on the same level as OLED screens for significantly less. But I still haven't heard any word from big companies on their plans to build TV using the refined RGB LEDs, why is that?

I would like to hear your opinion.

Removable batteries discussion

I have always preferred phones with removable batteries so far, thinking that it will most certainly be the first component in a device to fail. I have even advised people in my circles to do so, until a recent event. A family member of mine still uses a HTC DesireX. Recently, he wanted to replace his battery because of swelling. He bought two matching batteries from different sellers. The problem is, even though they were unopened/sealed packages of original batteries, they were not holding much charge. (I suppose they waited on a shelf for some time.) This made me question myself. In the past, I have used nokia smartphones, and they were easy to replace with fresh batteries, since almost all nokias used the same battery type. Now with android, its all over the place. Is it even worth it to go for a removable battery device when you cant find a replacement a couple of years after you purchase it? What do you think/prefer? PS. I realize this is not exactly fault of android OS, but ...
