LOEWE BILD 5.65 OLED
In the last couple of years it has become widely accepted that OLED provides the best image quality for today’s televisions. While LED-LCD may have advantages in heavily-lit rooms (and also in the lower price of the panels), OLED has the ‘wow’ factor when viewed in relatively darkness.
As Loewe’s Ulf Kaempfer explained to Audio Esoterica: “We always believed in OLED… OLED is by far the very best in panel technology. And we also believe we have perfected this by implementing VantaVision, the truest black, utilising nano technology.”
So as Loewe watchers will know to be normal practise for the German company, Loewe has not simply used the latest OLED panels in itsVantaVision idea is no mere marketing phrase: it leverages carbon-tube nanoscience — ‘Vanta’ stands for Vertically Aligned carbon NanoTube Arrays, and these have proven to be the blackest substance ever produced, absorbing up to 99.96% of visible light. The result has been described as “like staring into a black hole”. Artists have clamoured to use it for their work; the military has (allegedly) applied it to satellites and stealth aircraft; it has assisted telescopes and infrared cameras in producing better images by reducing light leakage — and its application to televisions works in the same way. OLED’s blacks may be zero, but incident light can still illuminate them; VantaVision ensures even blacker blacks than off, in another example of Loewe pushing boundaries in the quest for quality.
