3LCD Panel Technology
The 3LCD technology at the heart of Sony’s Grand WEGA™ televisions provide a bright

Grand WEGA™ TV. You can expect to see an incredibly detailed picture with eye-popping colors.
Grand WEGA™ TV. You can expect to see an incredibly detailed picture with eye-popping colors.
Sony uses three tiny LCD panels (0.87” ) with a combined resolution of over 3.14 million pixels. The light from a
high output UHP lamp shines into a filtering system that splits the beam into red, green, and blue light streams.
Each color goes through its own LCD panel, which passes or blocks the light. The three beams are then recombined
and sent to the projection lens.
