The Sony Bravia XEL-1 OLED is currently the [world’s thinnest television](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thinking) on the market. Jonathan White, head of televisions for [Sony UK](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bravia-xr-sony) said, “It is the sort of product that people who have to have the latest technology will be interested in. At this very top end of the market, these sort of products are almost recession proof.” Features speak for themselves: the screen is less than 1cm thick and 11 inches wide. It comes in two parts, a thin (3 mm) display panel, and a slim stand weighing 1.9 kg. The picture quality and contrast are amazing thanks to cutting edge [OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) technology](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oled-evo-ai-m4), *and* the set is energy efficient, consuming up to 40% less power than conventional LCD panels. The Sony Bravia XEL-1 OLED is every man’s dream… thin, light and beautiful. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.2/10 - Popularity: 12% | Activity: 77% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Multimedia](https://www.trendhunter.com/multimedia) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Thinnest TV:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop even thinner TV models to cater to the demand for sleek and space-saving entertainment systems. - **OLED Technology:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate OLED technology into various electronic devices to enhance picture quality and energy efficiency. - **Energy Efficiency:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create energy-efficient solutions for consumer electronics to meet the growing demand for sustainable technology. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Television Manufacturing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore advanced manufacturing techniques to produce increasingly thin and lightweight television sets. - **Electronics Retail:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Educate customers about the benefits of OLED technology and promote the sale of energy-efficient electronic devices. - **Sustainable Technology:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop new technologies that prioritize energy efficiency and sustainability in the consumer electronics industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [97-Inch Flat Screen TVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/97inch-g2.md) - [Ultra-Thin Wireless TVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oled-evo-w6.md) - [Transparent OLED Premium Televisions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/signature-oled-t-smart-tv.md) - [Wireless Transparent Oled TVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lg-signature-oled-t.md) - [Giant High-Resolution Televisions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bravia-xr-sony.md) - [Wireless High-Definition TVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oled-m.md) - [Oversized Micro LED Televisions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tcl-x11h-max.md) - [Groundbreaking Glare-Free TVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samsung-s95d-qdoled-tv.md) - [Immersive Imaginative TV Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lg-magnit-active-micro-led-tv.md)
