SEOUL,
South Korea, Jan. 8, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- LG Display, the world's leading innovator of
display technologies, announced today that it is unveiling its OLED
TV panel featuring its latest 'META Technology 2.0' at CES
2024.
With peak brightness being a crucial component of higher picture
quality, 'META Technology 2.0' features 42% brighter images than
conventional OLED displays to achieve 3,000-nit peak brightness. As
higher peak brightness ensures a more vivid viewing experience akin
to what the human eye perceives, this marks the highest brightness
level of any large-sized OLED panel yet.
Last year, LG Display surpassed the limits of OLED picture
quality with the unveiling of 'META Technology' after a decade of
research and development in high-brightness technology, further
widening its competitive advantage. Since then, LG Display has
successfully developed 'META Technology 2.0' within a year to
solidify its leadership in the field of OLED technology.
META Technology 2.0 comprises 'Micro Lens Array Plus (MLA+)'
featuring a pattern of optimized micrometer-scale lenses, the
upgraded brightness enhancing algorithm 'META Multi Booster,' and
the full-range brightness detail enhancing algorithm 'Detail
Enhancer,' which all combine to achieve a new maximum
brightness of 3,000 nits, allowing the OLED panel to express the
precise colors and brightness nature intended in any
environment.
LG Display's 'Micro Lens Array' technology features a layer of
micrometer-sized convex lenses. A total of 42.4 billion micro
lenses (in a 77-inch 4K display)
maximize light emission within the OLED panel to achieve
revolutionary brightness. The process of creating billions of
microscopic lenses in a pattern is extremely technically
challenging.
Based on big data on MLA accumulated over the past year, MLA+
features an optimized lens angle that emits even the minimal light
that would have been lost due to internal reflections. With an
increased maximum brightness, OLED TV panels with META Technology
2.0 can more meticulously portray contrasts for a finer and more
realistic viewing experience, from the immersive visuals of a
cascading waterfall to the glimmers of individual droplets
reflecting the sunlight.
Also referred to as 'Dragonfly Eye Technology,' MLA+ and its
billions of micro-lenses create more accurate and detailed images
with a wider viewing angle of 160 degrees, just as a dragonfly can
see 360 degrees through millions of convex lenses.
'META Multi Booster', the company's exclusive
brightness-optimizing algorithm, analyzes each scene in extreme
detail to enhance not only peak brightness, a fundamental strength
of LG Display OLEDs, but also color brightness for more refined and
optimized picture quality.
By incorporating MLA+ and META Multi Booster, META Technology
2.0 achieves improved color brightness of up to 1,500 nits, 114%
brighter than conventional OLEDs. This enhancement in color
brightness is effective when depicting HDR images by making
brighter areas appear brighter and darker areas appear darker.
Furthermore, the strength of META Multi Booster is best
demonstrated when depicting images with bright, vivid colors, such
as the vibrant and diverse hues of auroras filling the night
sky.
Displays typically struggle to accurately render darker images
(low gradation) in contrast to brighter images (high gradation). LG
Display's proprietary 'Detail Enhancer' is a full-range brightness
detail enhancing algorithm that ensures consistent and accurate
color expression regardless of brightness levels.
By incorporating a new data processing technique into OLED's
'Pixel Dimming' technology, which precisely controls the light of
33 million pixels (based on an 8K
display) individually, Detail Enhancer allows the OLED panel to
accurately convey unique colors as they were intended to be seen.
When depicting dark underwater scenes, viewers can experience the
distinct colors and details of a tropical fish without
distortion.
OLED's self-emissive structure allows each pixel to emit light
independently without a backlight unit, which unlocks an infinite
contrast ratio and extremely vibrant and precise color expression.
LG Display's OLED TV panel based on META Technology enhances energy
efficiency by 22% compared to conventional OLEDs of the same
brightness. In addition, its remarkably low blue light emissions
and flicker-free status contribute to better eye health and even
minimize its environmental impact by using 90% fewer plastic
materials than conventional LCDs.
LG Display unveiled its 83-inch OLED TV panel featuring META
Technology 2.0 for the first time at CES 2024. As demand for
ultra-large TVs continues to increase, the company plans to apply
META Technology 2.0 to its lineup of large-sized and ultra-large
OLED TV panels, including the 55-, 65-, 77-, and 83-inch
4K OLEDs and the 77- and 88-inch
8K OLEDs, to further strengthen its
OLED leadership in the global premium TV market.
"META Technology 2.0 represents the pinnacle of displays after
surpassing the limitations and boundaries of OLED to create the
perfect harmony between humans, nature, and the environment," said
Hyeon-woo Lee, Senior Vice President and Head of Large Display
Business Unit at LG Display. "We will firmly establish our
technological edge in the OLED TV panel market with the latest
evolution of our META Technology."
