AMBILIGHT WITHOUT LIMITS: FLOATING ON AIR

Introducing our most amazing Ambilight TV experience to date: Elevation Ultra Slim LED TV with Ambilight 4-sided XL and Ambilight Prism technology. We combined Ambilight 4-sided XL with an almost invisible bezel, our narrowest neck, and a transparent stand that seems to disappear under the power of Ambilight… creating the illusion your TV is floating in a halo of light.

We aspired to design an extremely slim television; one that offers the biggest, warmest and softest Ambilight halo ever on a Philips TV. Our ambition was to create a TV that floats on air.

Ambilight idea born at Philips Research and Lighting. 2003
Ambilight concept first demonstrated on a Philips TV: an ambient halo of light is projected around the TV, making the screen seem wider and the viewing experience more immersive.
2005
2004
Philips launches the first commercial 2-sided Ambilight TV using CCFL (cold-cathode fluorescent) lamps that are placed at the back of the TV. They produce the same color at left and right, which adapts to the on screen content.
Philips launches the first commercial 2-sided Ambilight TV with stereo Ambilight effect; capable of displaying different color and light intensities at left and right.
Research by Professor Begemann of the Technical University in Eindhoven, the Netherlands shows that Ambilight reduces eye strain for 60% to 90% of people under normal home theatre lighting conditions.

2006
First concept demonstration of Ambilight using strips of LEDs instead of CCFL lighting. First concept demonstration of Aurea. This unique TV had a bezel illuminated by a LED based Ambilight system called Active Frame. Philips sold its one millionth Ambilight TV. In honor of this milestone, the Diamond Television was created.

First 4-sided Aurea LED TV launched commercially. Marketed as Ambilight Spectra, it shows the potential of pixelation (multi-color/ intensity on each side of TV set) for the ďŹ rst time. More LED Ambilight TVs hit the market, both in 2-sided and 3-sided executions. LEDs have several advantages over CCFL: they are smaller, radiate saturated colors, and allow several colors per side to be projected in order to create a halo that matches the on-screen colors in more detail.

2008
All LED-based Ambilight TVs now have pixelation. This enhances the viewing experience even more by creating a sensorial halo of color that precisely folllows the TVs content. 2010
Introduction of Wall Adaptive Ambilight. This technology matches Ambilight colors with the TV content, regardless of the wall color behind your TV.
Philips launches Ambilight Spectra XL: an innovation that creates an extra large halo around your TV. 2012
Philips introduces diffuserless Ambilight: a massive breakthrough in the creation of slim Ambilight TVs due to the new placement of LEDs directly visible through the back of the TV.

2013
Re-introduction of 4-sided Ambilight TV. Elevation combines the latest Ambilight technology with a premium design, creating the illusion your TV is oating in a halo of light.

“
Creating a 4-sided halo has always been the holy grail in Ambilight. In order to create a floating, Ultra Slim TV we had to think outside the box. The result of this journey is a unique system we call Ambilight Prism. It makes use of our specially designed, high performance LEDs which are integrated in the middle of the set.
