SEOUL,
South Korea, May 20, 2023
/PRNewswire/ -- LG Display, the world's leading innovator of
display technologies, announced today that two of its research
papers on 'ultra-large OLED display' and 'Stretchable display' have
been selected as Distinguished Papers by the Society for
Information Display (SID).
Under the theme of 'A Novel Ultra-Large Size OLED Display for
Premium TVs,' LG Display's research team led by Dr. Hong-jae Shin,
research fellow, received the Excellence Paper Award for
introducing the key technologies that enabled ultra-large OLED
displays of 80 inches and above. With this award, LG Display has
been recognized once again for its leadership in OLED
innovation.
LG Display led the development of a series of ultra-large OLED
TV panels by addressing the challenge of uniformly expressing
high-quality images on larger screens, advancing panel and driving
technologies, improving the performance of organic light-emitting
components, and minimizing bezels.
Following on from the 88-inch 8K
OLED TV panel released in 2018, the company commenced the
production of its largest 97-inch OLED TV panels last year to offer
a full lineup ranging from medium-sized to ultra-large OLED
displays. LG Display is the only company with capability of
mass-producing ultra-large OLED panels of 80 inches and above.
In addition, LG Display will introduce 'META technology,' its
third-generation OLED TV panel technology, during SID 2023. These
OLED panels realize the industry's highest brightness of 2,100 nits
(1 nit: the brightness of a single candle) among existing OLED TVs,
making them the perfect solution for ultra-large TVs. Notably,
these panels also demonstrate a remarkable 22 percent improvement
in energy efficiency.
Another research team led by Precedence Technology Laboratory at
LG Display was also awarded the Excellence Paper Award for the
paper, 'High-Resolution Active-Matrix Micro-LED Stretchable
Displays.' The Stretchable display is highly anticipated as a
next-generation display technology courtesy of its ultimate
free-form technology that enables it to be extended, folded, and
twisted.
LG Display unveiled the industry's first 12-inch Stretchable
display last year that can be stretched by up to 20 percent while
delivering full-color RGB and a high resolution of 100ppi (pixels
per inch) comparable to standard monitors. This award-winning
research has garnered recognition for significantly enhancing the
resolution, flexibility, and reliability of stretchable displays,
achieving substantial progress towards its commercialization.
LG Display will also present its latest research findings on new
technologies during Display Week 2023 from May 21 to 26 at LA Convention Center. This will
include the presentation of 15 research papers with significant
findings regarding next-generation displays such as OLED and
microLED.
LG Display also plans to unveil its latest cutting-edge
technologies at SID 2023, including its new OLED technology and
third-generation OLED TV panels based on 'META Technology.'
"We will continue to maintain and expand our competitive
advantage by developing cutting-edge displays that provide
innovative customer value, particularly in the field of large-sized
and high-resolution displays, thereby widening the technological
gap between us and our competitors," remarked Soo-young Yoon, CTO
and Executive Vice President at LG Display.
