LG plans to showcase its brand new unbreakable and flexible 5-inch display for mobile devices as well as a curved 55-inch OLED TV at the Society for Information Display's exhibition this week in Vancouver, Canada.
LG did not share any further details on the two displays, other than saying unbreakable and flexible 5-inch plastic OLED panel for mobile devices comes at a crucial time when smart devices are being used more than ever and at increased risk for damage from drops, hits, and other accidents, implying the company hopes to address these problems with its new display. It added that the curved 55-inch OLED TV "offers a glimpse into the future of TV design" and is based on the same WRGB OLED technology as the standard set.
The company will also showcase a 5-inch HD LCD panel for smartphones with 1.0mm bezel, as well as products boasting the "world's most narrow bezels", including a 13.3-inch full-HD LCD Neo Edge panel for laptops with 1.5mm bezel, a 23.8-inch full-HD LCD Neo Blade panel for monitors with 3.5mm bezel, and a 55-inch LCD panel for video walls with 5.3mm bezel.
"Recent trends indicate that the small- and medium-sized display market is moving towards high resolution and low power consumption, and the large panel market to OLED and Ultra HD," said Dr. Sang-Deok Yeo, CTO and Executive Vice President of LG Display. "With the resulting rapid need for new display advancements, LG Display, at the forefront of these trends, is well positioned to lead the market with its differentiated and cutting-edge technologies."
LG Display will also introduce 5-inch and 7-inch HD LCD panels based on Oxide TFT, seen as the next generation TFT technology as it offers high investment efficiency in producing thin, high transparency, and low power consumption displays.
The company will also present a new type of LCD which can depict the highest level of colour reproduction ratio for implementation across various industries. LG Display plans to demo various products applying this technology including a transparent 47-inch LCD panel for refrigerators featuring a 15% increase in transparency while maintaining NTSC 72% or the same as generic HDTVs, a 12.3-inch Full HD LCD panel for automotive dashboards with 800nit high brightness and 85% colour reproduction ratio, and a 24-inch Adobe RGB monitor panel for professionals with 100% colour reproduction ratio.
