Sony Corporation Annual Report 2002
Wega
Since its 1996 debut, the Sony Wega series has
consistently led the market for televisions with flat-
surface cathode ray tubes (CRTs). Wega commands a
healthy share of the 100 million unit annual global CRT
television market. Large-screen Wega TVs, in particular,
benefit from a strong brand image. During the year
under review, more than 80% of televisions sold by
Sony had a flat-surface CRT.
Sony has earned a strong reputation in the market for its CRT-based TVs. By introducing
products that leverage its image-processing technology, Sony has also gained market approval for its
PDP, LCD and projection televisions, markets which Sony expects to expand going forward.
Pictured here is the Grand Wega rear projection television. The 3.15 million-dot resolution screen
employs 3 wide XGA high-temperature polysilicon TFT LCD panels, each with approximately 1.05
million-dot resolutions. With these specifications, the television is able to display high-quality, high-
definition digital broadcasts at the right density and level of definition.
