LG 55-inch OLED TV Panel claim as World’s Largest

LG Display gave a teaser of its CES plans by setting a record for the world’s largest OLED (organic light-emitting diode) TV screen panel measures 55 inches and comes with a contrast ratio of over 100,000:1, the company has announced.

At the moment, producing large OLED displays is an ongoing challenge, just like it was the case for LCD displays years ago.

The 55-inch panel uses an oxide thin-film transistor instead of the usual low-temperature polysilicon from smaller OLED screens. The panel is also just 5 mm thin and has a color gamut that is “wider” than that produced by LCD panels screen with a very narrow bezel. All of these characteristics make it a candidate for bringing OLED TV technology to the masses in a market that’s still dominated by LCDs.

“Although OLED technology is seen as the future of TV display, the technology has been limited to smaller display sizes and by high costs, until now. LG Display’s 55-inch OLED TV panel has overcome these barriers,” said Sang Beom Han, CEO and Executive Vice President of LG Display.

The screen is advanced in other areas. LG claims an “Ultra Definition” panel and is using white OLED, which is both clearer and more efficient than on most such displays.

The design is both much lighter than an LCD and allows for unique designs.

LG hasn’t given hints as to if and when the 55-inch OLED screen will make it to shipping products. Of course, we’ll hear more of this panel at the next CES, along with those WiDi-supporting CINEMA 3D Smart TVs LG has announced earlier this month.
