LG Display unveils 0.97 mm thick OLED panel

LG Display unveils 0.97 mm thick OLED panel

And that's 55-inch for ya. South Korean flat panel maker LG Display Co. showcased on Tuesday a detachable organic light-emitting diode (OLED) panel that sticks to the wall, renewing its pledge to focus on the high-end display as a future growth engine.

he 55-inch wallpaper OLED panel, presented as one of the company's future displays at a media event, is only 0.97 mm thick, weighs 1.9 kg and can easily be stuck to a wall with a magnetic mat, or removed from it.

The new product is far slimmer compared with LG Display's existing flagship 55-inch OLED panel that is 4.3 mm thick. ▲

LG Display also showcased a convex OLED panel that is mainly used for digital signage for large-scale outdoor advertising.

The display panel maker has pushed for production of the OLED as its next growth driver. The advanced display helps make a TV much slimmer and lighter since it emits light itself based on the electric current without a backlight unit, unlike the liquid crystal display (LCD).

Yeo Sang-deog, the head of LG Display's OLED division, vowed to ramp up OLED production from the third quarter of this year to a substantial level that can meet clients' demand.

"We should be able to supply a satisfactory volume to our clients from July or August, which means we're hoping to buckle down production as well as promotion from the third quarter," he told reporters at a press conference held after the event.

Yeo, however, declined to elaborate further on which clients have shown interest in LG Display's OLED panels, other than its affiliate LG Electronics, to whom it sells a bulk of its products.

LG Display retained this year's sales target for OLED panels at 600,000 units and 1.5 million units for 2016. Yeo cited the improvement in yields for OLED panels as a key factor that will help achieve such a sales target.

"It has taken a year and half for us to raise the yield to this level (for OLEDs), while it'd taken nearly 10 years to achieve the yield for LCDs," he said.

LG Display will keep its focus on large screens, with a plan to introduce an OLED panel as big as 99 inches within this year, the executive said. The company has released its 55-inch, 66-inch and 77-inch OLED models earlier in the year.

It will also continue to upgrade its plastic OLED technology in the small- to mid-sized segments, such as transparent displays and rollable and flexible displays to be used for wearable devices or vehicle dashboards, according to Yeo.

All we need now is O-Led for PC... 24 Inch is big enough for me, Thank you.

Yeah man I know right..? Having an AMOLED screen on my phone I really feel like it has so much potential. I mean come on, the screen turns off in places where there's pure black. Contrast is ridiculous, looks so nice.

And I've also read that OLED screens inherently have ridiculous response times (0.01ms) which paves the way for very high refresh rates aswell.

In theory, this screen looks like a jack of all trades AND a master of all (maybe except lifespan, and the fact that blue OLEDs degrade faster than the rest). I have no idea why it's not being aggressively pushed into the monitor market. I would buy a 144Hz OLED in a heartbeat.

If it can keep proper state for 5 years then it is good enough for PC monitor.
Because my 10 years old notebook has TN panel which has like 30% of original contrast ratio and 60% color saturation.
And I do not expect monitor to last forever as I expect new/better technology to come by.

If they now make 1080p 24" and 1440p 27" screens, in time they go bad, people will consider them morally obsolete on resolution basis/refresh rate (as they will come at best with 144Hz).

Fox, I've been researching into this since it got my attention.
According to wikipedia, there have been experimental OLEDs released in 2007 (!) which have surpassed the lifespan of normal LCDs. Basically they said that the screen can output a luminance of 400cd/m2 for 62.000 hours for the blue OLEDs (the green and red ones last much more, but it doesn't matter because without one of them you'll lose color accuracy). So basically 62.000 hours without any decrease in brightness or color accuracy? That's really good considering LCDs range from 30.000 to 60.000 hours.
So theoretically this shouldn't be a problem. And keep in mind that his was 8 years ago, even before OLED screens made their way into smartphones.

If there are no problems with degradation, I seriously don't understand why they're holding OLED panels back. We have TVs but not monitors..?
