A higher dimensional balance between an ultra-wide color gamut of over 100% for NTSC and high luminance of 350cd/m2 has been achieved by optimizing the back-light system and the color filter based on the high transmissivity of LTPS thin film transistor (TFT) LCD technology, realizing astonishingly clear and vivid color
Furthermore, the ET8EF2-AS embeds an Image Signal Processor (ISP), which features Auto White Balance (AWB), Auto Luminance Control (ALC) and scratch correction.
This light is augmented by flickering luminance from the glass base of the pool that causes faster transience and rippling of intensity.
