Some Sony VAIO
models come with Sony's proprietary XBRITE
displays. The first model that introduce this
feature is the VAIO TR series. It is also the
first consumer product to utilize such
technology. It is a combination of smooth
screen, anti-reflection (AR) coating and
high-efficiency lens sheet. Sony claims that the
smooth finish provides a sharper screen display,
the AR coating prevents external light from
scattering when it hits the screen, and the
high-efficiency lens sheet provides 1.5 times
the brightness improvement over traditional LCD
designs, while also extending battery life due
to less usage of the LCD backlight.
Recent models, such as the TX or SZ, have implemented the LED backlit XBRITE LCD, which further enchance power saving and accurate color reproduction capability of the LCD unit.
The SZ series
features both an Intel GMA 950 graphics chip and
an NVIDIA graphics chip. These laptops can
cold-switch between the GMA 950, to preserve
battery life, or the NVIDIA chip, to enhance
graphics performance. These will be the only
notebooks on the market with this feature, as
Sony has patented the technology.
