LED TV

In recent years, the digital television market enlivened by the presence of a flat-screen television technology by some of the leading electronic vendor called LED TVs. Vendor of the most aggressive in TV poured with this new technology include: Samsung Electronics, LG Electronics, Toshiba, and many other leading vendors.

Basically the LED TV is actually a development of this type of LCD TV which uses LED backlight instead of fluorescent light that is used on the type of LCD TV before. There are two kinds of LED TVs on the market: RGB LED with an LED that is placed behind the display panel, or EDGE-LEDs where the LEDs placed around the screen [5].

Advantages of LED TVs

     Levels are much higher contrast than LCD TVs, equivalent or even higher than Plasma TVs
     Allow manufacturers to produce flat-screen television the size of super-thin, with a thickness of about 2.5 cm
     More environmentally friendly
     Lower electricity consumption of about 20-30% compared to conventional LCD TVs
     Various products from well known vendors LED TV offers digital image processing features, features Digital TV Tuner, and various other new features.

Weakness LED TV


Prices are slightly more expensive, for the same size and features, LED TVs are the cheapest prices around 20% more expensive than conventional LCD TVs

LCD TV

LCD TVs on the market which appear first of Plasma experienced a decline in popularity since the emergence of Plasma TVs offered by considering the various advantages compared to earlier generation LCDs. With a price that is much more expensive for smaller size, making Plasma sales increased.

However, on further developments, LCD TV with economical price with a variety of technical progress, making consumers switch back to LCD TVs. Along with the emergence of HDTV and Full HD TV LCD TV product line, followed by a large size, the price of LCD TVs was also increasingly makes sense in the pockets of consumers.

Basically, LCD TVs work by producing images of black and colored by the selection of light emitted by a series of lamp technologies CCFLs (Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamps) behind the scenes. Millions of lights will be switched on and off through the LCD shutter by passing white light with a certain intensity. Each shutter will be combined with color filters will miss the colors Red, Green, and Blue (RGB). Shutter and Filter, each of which is a sub-pixel size is very small, and by naked eye to form a joint called pixels [3].

Excellence LCD TV

     Reproduce colors more realistic
     Anti-glare technology (without shadows)
     Available from small to large sizes
     No radiation is emitted
     Can be used as a computer monitor
     Resource requirements of lower power than Plasma


Weakness of the LCD TV

     The image quality will decline when seen at a wide angle of view
     For large size, more expensive when compared to Plasma TVs
     Refresh Rate and Response Time, which is much lower than plasma, so that sometimes produces a blurred image

PLASMA TV

Plasma Display Panel (PDP) or in Indonesia known as the Plasma TV is one type of flat screen TV technology that enables manufacturers to produce large size flat screen TVs in bulk with an economical price.

The term and concept of the technology itself Plasma TVs introduced in 1936 by an expert in Physics, Electronics, and inventor of Hungary [1]. In the development of IBM, Fujitsu, and Panasonic introduced several types of plasma televisions that utilize technology in their research. New in 1997, followed by Philips and Pioneer Fujitsu, released flat-screen TVs with 42 inch size Plasma technology is commercially [2].

The term itself comes from the use of PDP Plasma cells, which is a fluorescent lamp, as the basis for the television screen lighting. A Plasma TVs use millions of Plasma cells are placed between two glass display panels. Each cell contains a combination of noble gases and small amounts of mercury that will be evaporated and given the power to glow and form a plasma. The color produced from phosphorus contained in the cell, where in each cell would contain phosphorus are 3 types of primary colors, namely: Red, Green, and Blue, or commonly known as RGB. The difference voltage assigned to each cell also produce color combinations that exist.


Advantages of Plasma TV

     Produces a better black than LCD TVs
     Contrast ratio is high (1:2.000.000)
     Much more broad viewpoint
     Refresh Rate and Response Time is fast, minimizing image blur

Weaknesses Plasma TVs

     Still images are displayed in a long time will cause burn-in and image ghosting
     The image quality will continue to decline with duration of use, albeit in a relatively long period of time
     Heavier than LCDs
     Using an electric power larger than the LCD TV
     Sizes are generally not available below 42 inches.
