Portable PCs keep slimming down. And VAIO is again leading the way.
One barrier to becoming thinner has been the LCD, which has retained its original thickness even as bodies became thinner.
Therefore, VAIO engineers sought to shape up screens as well, making them even thinner.
One result was the LED used in the latest VAIO TX’s backlight. It is smaller than the fluorescent tube used in previous models.
But this alone didn’t make VAIO thin enough for Sony.
So for the VAIO TX, all of the five basic components of the backlight were slimmed down. The incorporation of White LED, light guide, glass cell, system circuit board, and backlight circuitry are now smaller than ever. Then, the backlight circuitry was embedded in the system circuit board itself.
Our absolute goal was to make VAIO even thinner by using the latest technology to create a revolutionarily new backlighting system.
As a result, the LCD screen is now 50% thinner and 30% lighter than previous models. Although, we have successfully made LCD screens to be inherently thin, we have found ways to further slim down VAIO TX.
To complement this advance, we also changed the overall design to make it as stylishly slim as possible.
For example, we have cut away the edges on the sides for a cleaner silhouette to result in a design that perfectly balances the thinner LCD screen with the overall design parameters.
At the same time, we took special care to make every component even stronger so that VAIO can stand up to the most extreme extremes.
