Not to be outdone by rival Chinese fab BOE, Shenzhen-based
China Star Optoelectronics Technology (CSOT for short) was at Display Week showing
off its 110-inch curved 4K TV, claiming it as the “world’s largest" curved
LCD TV, with dimensions of 2.4 x 1.4 meters. The set includes a 3840 x 2160
pixel (4K x 2K) pixel display in a 110-inch diagonal curved format that offers a
sizeable color gamut with 10 bit color at 60 Hz refresh, and a whopping 50K:1
contrast. CSOT product engineer Yuming Mo told us that at its thinnest point, the curved set reached 20mm in thickness (at the edges), growing to 45 cm with a curve radius of 5500 mm total.
The company also showed a UHD (3840 x 2160 pixel) 55-inch
diagonal TV. The set incorporates QD Vision's Quantum Dot technology and claims
a 63% boost to color gamut, achieving an extremely impressive color standard with
what the company is calling its Super Color Gamut technology.
Clearly Chinese fabs are serious in their efforts to step up
their technology offerings and many experts believe they have reached image parity with
some of the best displays in the industry. We agree, and look forward to the
consumer benefits from these awesome displays.
