SEOUL,
South Korea, April 22,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- LG Display, the world's leading
innovator of display technologies, announced today that it has
developed the first-ever Gaming OLED panel with a switchable
refresh rate and resolution. The company has begun mass
production of the 31.5-inch panel this month,
accelerating its push into the high-end gaming display market with
new concept products.
This groundbreaking Gaming OLED panel allows users to
freely choose between a high refresh rate (FHD∙480Hz) and a
high-resolution mode (UHD∙240Hz) depending on the
content.
In high refresh rate mode, users can enjoy games where speed and
screen changes are particularly important, such
as first-person shooter (FPS) or racing genres. Switching to
high-resolution mode offers an exceptionally immersive
experience watching movies with rich visual effects or
high-definition 4K content. By
comparison, conventional panels have a fixed resolution even when
the refresh rate is changed, limiting their versatility for
multiple applications.
Refresh rate refers to the number of images displayed on a
monitor per second, while resolution represents the number of
pixels that a screen can show. The higher the refresh
rate, the smoother and sharper the images appear even
during fast screen transitions, while a higher resolution
enables more precise video and image quality.
LG Display's advanced solution is Dynamic Frequency &
Resolution (DFR), its own independently developed new technology.
With the arrival of DFR, users can choose which to prioritize
between refresh rate and resolution by adjusting the image
processing speed. IT has been applied for the first time with LG
Display's 31.5-inch Gaming OLED panel.
The company's Gaming OLED panel is also equipped with other LG
Display technologies to enhance its immersive experience. These
include META Technology 2.0 based on the company's Micro Lens Array
(MLA) innovation, which maximizes the emission of light from
organic materials to elevate image quality. Also, Thin Actuator
Sound technology, which directly generates sound from the screen
without a separate speaker, has been adopted to provide more vivid
sound.
LG Display plans to supply its new 31.5-inch Gaming OLED panel
to global gaming gear brands, starting with LG Electronics. The
company is accelerating its expansion into the high-end gaming
display market from this year with a full lineup of Gaming
OLED panels spanning 27, 31.5, 34, 39, and 45 inches.
Unlike LCDs, which require backlighting, the company's Gaming
OLED panels are self-emissive, enabling each pixel to produce
perfect blacks and lifelike image quality. With an ultra-high
refresh rate (480Hz), they also have the fastest response time
(0.03ms) of any panel on the market.
Moreover, Gaming OLEDs have less potential to cause eye fatigue
than LCD screens even during long gaming sessions, as they emit
half the amount of blue light and produce no
headache-associated flicker.
"We will create new customer value with OLED's differentiated
technologies - such as by offering perfect blacks, fast
response times, and ultra-high refresh rates - and strengthen
our leadership in the high-end gaming display market," said
Won-seok Kang, Vice President and Head of the Large Display Product
Planning Division at LG Display.
