CES-2007: Texas Instruments Joins Contrast Ratio Race


Yesterday Sony showed off their 27-inch 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio OLED HDTV. Well now its time for Texas Instruments to show off their potential.

Texas Instruments is mainly known for the backend chips that are used in Plasma’s and HDTVs. Their DLP chipsets are used by many manufacturers in their High-end TVs.

The company has claimed to develop a .65-inch chipset that they claim can deliver an impressive contrast ratio of 100,000:1 to their DLP TV prototype.

The company is not planning to go into the HDTV and Plasma TV Biz but they are planning to license the technology to other companies that include Samsung, Mitsubishi, Toshiba and Philips.
