SEOUL,
South Korea, May 14, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- LG Display, the world's leading innovator of display
technologies, announced today the unveiling of a large number of
its next-generation OLED and cutting-edge display technologies at
SID Display Week 2024 in San Jose,
California from May 14-16.
LG Display is allowing visitors to experience new OLED
technologies under the theme "A Better
Future," ranging from OLEDoS for VR to large-sized OLED
panels that go beyond the limits of picture quality and automotive
display solutions that are optimized for Software Defined Vehicles
(SDV).
The company's latest
innovations include a new technology, OLEDoS for VR, which is being
shown to the public for the first time and features dramatically
increased screen brightness and resolution compared with the
existing standard. Despite being the size of a coin at 1.3-inch, it
achieves an ultra-high brightness of 10,000 nits and an ultra-high
resolution of around 4,000 ppi, which is in the 4K class. In addition, its color expression
accuracy is realized by meeting more than 97% of the DCI-P3
standard color area of the Digital Cinema Initiatives
(DCI). All these enable more lifelike virtual reality
with industry-leading picture quality.
Made up of OLED deposited on a silicon wafer substrate, OLEDoS
is attracting attention as a way to deliver AR and VR in high
definition even on the micro scale. In particular, VR displays
require higher screen brightness and resolution than general
displays to increase the viewer's
sense of immersion when external light is blocked.
OLEDoS for VR combines a newly developed high-performance OLED
element with the company's Micro Lens Array (MLA), a
technology that maximizes light emittance, to improve brightness by
about 40% compared with the standard level.
MLA enhances brightness by allowing a layer of micrometer-sized
convex lenses, which are so tiny that they are invisible to the
naked eye, to emit light that would otherwise have been lost in the
panel's internal reflection.
LG Display is additionally exhibiting OLEDoS for smartwatches,
the first of its kind. At 1.3-inch in size, it features a
4K resolution that allows content to
be displayed clearly even on the wrist. It is also equipped with
glasses-free 3D technology called light field technology, which has
holographic-like effects.
Also at SID Display Week 2024, the company is emphasizing its
unrivaled large-sized OLED leadership by demonstrating 83-inch OLED
TV and Gaming OLED panels. Both of these products feature LG
Display's META Technology 2.0,
which delivers 42% brighter images than conventional OLEDs. With
brightness representing one of the key elements of picture quality,
META Technology 2.0 realizes 3,000 nits, the brightest level among
existing OLED TV panels.
META Technology 2.0's performance is underpinned by the
META Multi-Booster and Detail Enhancer display enhancement
algorithms in combination with MLA+, made up of 42.4 billion micro
lenses. Together, they make it possible to clearly and vividly
express abundant natural colors and brightness in any environment
as if seen with real eyes.
In addition, visitors can witness LG Display's 27-inch 480
Hz QHD Gaming OLED panel. This first OLED display to implement a
480 Hz refresh rate provides an optimal gaming experience through
exceptionally smooth and clear screen transitions in fast-paced
games.
Moreover, the company is showcasing a 39-inch Ultra-Wide Gaming
OLED panel. Its 21:9 ratio screen with a curvature of 800R (about
the curvature of a circle with a radius of 800mm) maximizes
immersion by providing the same viewing distance from both the
center and edges of the screen.
LG Display is also exhibiting automotive display solutions
optimized for SDVs, including high-definition OLEDs for vehicles
and LTPS LCDs, which are the company's differentiated technologies.
Advanced Thin OLED (ATO) for vehicles is 20% thinner than general
glass substrate OLEDs. This enables a sleek design and increases
price competitiveness while maintaining the excellent picture quality of OLEDs.
LG Display's OLEDs for
vehicles additionally feature Tandem OLED technology, which it
developed as an industry first in 2019. Tandem OLED is a method of
stacking two organic light emitting layers and is characterized by
superior durability with high brightness and a long life compared
to the one-layer standard.
Meanwhile, the company has introduced a Glassless 3D Dashboard
that maximizes a driver's visual satisfaction based on
high-performance LTPS LCDs.
LG Display's exhibits in
San Jose furthermore include a new
technology that can raise the transparency of Transparent OLEDs
from 45% to 60% by optimizing their pixel structure and operating
parts.
"We will continue to introduce innovative products that can
provide new value to customers through constant research and
development, while solidifying our technological leadership,"
Soo-young Yoon, CTO and Executive Vice President at LG
Display.
