Engineered to pioneer
Thinner, lighter VAIO® notebooks require less energy and reduce consumption and depletion of materials.
The majority of VAIO computer models are ENERGY STAR® 4.0 compliant and have received either EPEAT Gold or Silver rankings. This means they use less power, affecting energy bills, and reduced greenhouse gas emissions.
More picture quality, less energy wasted
Sony® BRAVIA® LCD HDTVs are developed with the environment in mind. This includes reduced costs throughout the product lifecycle -- from buying to maintaining to running your Sony TVs and LCD displays. Most of the BRAVIA® HDTVs are designed to exceed ENERGY STAR® Specifications, saving you money on energy costs while still delivering stunning images.
The BRAVIA® EX700 series LCD HDTV, for example, meets ENERGY STAR® 5.0 Specifications; consuming the same amount of power as a traditional 60W light bulb*. LED backlight LCD panels, found on a selection of our newest models, reduce power consumption while in use, and the new Eco-Switch on selected models enables zero power consumption when the display is off. Sony BRAVIA® LCD HDTVs also feature innovative technology that self adjusts backlight to save power. Light sensors automatically adjust the brightness of the screen to maximize viewing quality and minimize energy usage. And on select models like the BRAVIA® EX700 series, a Presence sensor sets the television into standby mode when no motion is detected within a preset amount of time. All to support the conservation of valuable resources and limit green house gas emissions.

Blu-ray Disc™ Players go green
The BDP-S360 Blu-ray Disc™ Player model, compared to Sony's previous BDP-S350 Blu-ray Disc™ Player model, features 15% less power consumption in playback mode and 20% reduced power consumption in stand-by mode.
A Sony innovation, 10 years in the making
Every once in a while, a new technology emerges that changes everything. At just 3mm thin, Sony has developed an unbelievably thin TV - while advancing image quality to levels that no other TV can match. This technology is called OLED.
Organic Light Emitting Diode, or OLED, is a technology that uses carbon-based organic material in a process that converts electric energy into light. This light is used to illuminate the screen and produce the most astounding results ever seen on a television.
OLED emits light and does not require a backlight-realizing a new TV form of approximately 3mm at its thinnest point. And when these elements are in their "off" state, they consume no power. The result? OLED TVs use less energy than LCDs. The OLED display consumes less electricity compared to conventional displays because OLED's light-emitting structure does not require a separate light source and can be powered using very low voltages.
