LG Display has unveiled two unique TV panels, one capable of being rolled up like paper and a transparent one offering 30 percent transmittance.
The company unveiled the 18-inch OLED (organic light-emitting diode) television panels on Thursday.
The rollable panel, which makes it installable on curved surfaces, sports a high-definition class resolution of 1,200x810 with almost one million megapixels. The panel can be rolled up to a radius of three centimeters.
What has apparently enabled the company to develop the products has been its application of thinner, lighter, and more flexible OLED technology.
"LG Display pioneered the OLED TV market and is now leading the next-generation applied OLED technology," In-Byung Kang, LG Display's senior vice president and head of the R&D Center, said in a statement. "We are confident that by 2017, we will successfully develop an Ultra HD flexible and transparent OLED panel of more than 60 inches, which will have transmittance of more than 40 percent and a curvature radius of 100R, thereby leading the future display market."
Jeremy White, product editor of Wired magazine, said, "Being able to curve screens around complex retail display units or using the transparency to have the screen envelop the product itself on a stand would certainly be eye-catching.
