What Is RGB Tandem?

Television technology is continually evolving, and manufacturers are constantly looking for ways to push the boundaries of picture quality, energy efficiency, and long-term user satisfaction.

One of the most exciting recent developments is RGB Tandem, which has helped drive OLED panel design to new heights. This advanced display structure enhances brightness and colour accuracy, while addressing previous industry challenges, such as power consumption and image retention.

RGB Tandem OLED panels contain a four-stack emission structure, which means there are separate light-emitting layers for red, green, and blue. This provides a huge increase in peak brightness.

Emitting each colour directly, rather than using colour filters, also provides improved colour accuracy and saturation. With user experience at the height of Panasonic’s designs, this advanced panel structure has been implemented across the Z95B OLED range, which is available in 55”, 65”, and 77” models.

Although RGB Tandem dramatically boosts brightness, it also generates more heat. Panasonic has dealt with this by adding ThermalFlow technology, its proprietary airflow architecture, which is inspired by race-car chassis design. This worked by dissipating heat through venting channels, which maintains the desired brightness gains for longer.

The addition of ThermalFlow to these models has transformed the industry because it allows RGB Tandem OLED panels to operate at high outputs safely and sustainably. This wasn’t the case with older OLED generations, with peak brightness potentially reducing unit lifespan.

For the consumer, the Primary RGB Tandem panel provides intense highlights (HDR peak brightness) and deeper blacks, which pave the way for a huge cinematic dynamic range.

Colour accuracy and range are massively improved through pure RGB emission from stacked layers. For the consumer, this means more vibrant colours than enjoyed through earlier OLED displays, but dimming zones are also reduced, increasing power efficiency by up to 20%.

Image retention is minimised through a combination of a tandem panel structure and ThermalFlow. As emissive stress is spread, image retention concerns are mitigated, and panels enjoy increased longevity.

Panasonic’s OLED TVs are already renowned for their quality, but the addition of RGB Tandem and ThermalFlow has led to:

• Incredible brightness for vivid HDR content
• Outstanding colour accuracy
• Reduced power consumption
• Extend panel life due to thermal management

Many Panasonic models, including the Z95B, also benefit from built-in Dolby Atmos, which provides immersive audio to match the improved visuals RGB Tandem delivers. The combination of top-tier images with premium sounds delivers a cinematic experience from the comfort of home.

If you’re already familiar with Panasonic’s OLED range, you understand that they focus on delivering film-level quality. RGB Tandem OLED improves on this by overcoming previous obstacles related to brightness and black-level depth.

With so much content available from home these days, it makes sense to find a way to display it properly. Those looking to improve their experience will find Panasonic’s RGB Tandem OLED panel not only maximises visual realism but also matches upgraded audio setups.

The Z95B flagship range is available in 55”, 65”, and 77” units, and they all feature Panasonic’s RGB Tandem panel, 144 Hz refresh capability, Hollywood-tuned HCX Pro AI II processing, and ThermalFlow heat-dissipation. Combined, these features provide unmatched brightness, colour accuracy, and longevity.
