Toshiba Will Release New LCD TV Featuring 'Eco Chip' in December

Toshiba is to roll out the "Regza 32BE3," a 32V-size LCD TV integrated with its "Eco Chip," in mid-December 2011.

The Eco Chip receives/detects signals from the remote after the TV is turned off with the remote. Its consumption current is as low as about 95μA.

The Regza 32BE3 incorporates the Eco Chip and a large-capacity capacitor. The Eco Chip is driven by electricity stored in the capacitor, and AC power is cut by a relay. As a result, the standby power consumption of the TV is equivalent to the power consumption of an unplugged TV.

The Eco Chip has a timer function. The relay and the light-receiving elements that receive signals from the remote are powered by the capacitor. Therefore, it is possible to use the remote to operate the TV and set a timer recording even when the standby power consumption of the TV is "zero."

Because of the employment of LED backlight, the annual power consumption of the new TV is 45kWh. It is about 27% lower than the power consumption of the "Regza 32A2," the predecessor of the 32BE3.
