The REGZA CV series of LCD TVs introduced in 2008 offer excellent picture quality and consume less power. Power consumption of a 37-inch model is 55% less than that of the benchmark modelNote, which is equivalent to a reduction of 60kg of CO2 emissions per year.
The combination of Toshiba Group's edge in both visual technologies and semiconductor device technologies has led to this dramatic energy saving. For example, in the automatic picture adjustment mode, the backlight is controlled in accordance with the luminance in the room, achieving both ease of viewing and energy saving.
In terms of resource saving, the product weight has been slashed 60% by cutting the number of parts and adopting a lighter stand. To facilitate recycling, the number of screws has been reduced by 75%. Also, environmentally conscious materials have been selected - for instance, loudspeaker diaphragms, previously made of paper fiber, are now made of bamboo fiber because bamboo grows much faster than trees.
