The electronics manufacturer has now unveiled its new 2021 TV range, which contains some big changes – as well as a continuation of what worked so well in previous years. The arrival of Mini LED is the most notable change, even if it shows Philips walking in step with the likes of LG with its new QNED range, and the new Samsung TVs that will be making use of the advanced backlight technology. Philips' is mainly known for its proprietary Ambilight projection system, though, which throws onscreen colors and shades onto the wall around the screen – and 2021 will see it return in earnest, with four-sided Ambilight coming to all 2021 OLED and Mini LED TVs.

A new zone also has been dedicated to testbed drone technologies for maritime applications, as the country navigates its ambition of becoming a global maritime startup hub.
