Distinguished Papers
LG Display announced that its research papers on “Ultra-large OLED” and “Stretchable Display” development technologies were selected as “Distinguished Papers of the Year” at the Society for Information Display (SID), an international academic conference for display information.
SID is the world's largest academic conference and exhibition in the display field, where global display companies and researchers gather to exhibit new technologies and products and present research papers. Every year, it awards “Distinguished Papers” to around 20 of the top papers, from over 500 submissions worldwide, that have shown innovative advancements in their respective fields.
The research team led by Shin Hong-jae received the Distinguished Paper Award by introducing the key technologies applied in developing ultra-large OLEDs of over 80 inches, under the topic “A Novel Ultra-large-size OLED Display for Premium TVs.”
OLEDs find it challenging to uniformly maintain high-definition quality as the screen size increases. However, the research team earned recognition for driving OLED innovation by continuously developing ultra-large OLED TV panels of over 80 inches, through enhancements in panel and driving technology, organic light-emitting device performance, and bezel minimization.
Significantly, by introducing a third-generation OLED TV panel using “Meta Technology,” they achieved the highest brightness of 2,100 nits (1 nit equates to the brightness of a single candle) among current OLED TVs and improved energy efficiency by 22%. This emphasized that LG Display's OLED is optimal for ultra-large TVs.
Currently, LG Display is the only company globally mass-producing ultra-large OLEDs over 80 inches. Following the launch of the 88-inch 8K OLED TV panel in 2018, they've achieved a comprehensive lineup covering medium to ultra-large sizes by mass-producing the world's largest 97-inch OLED TV panel last year.
The Advanced Technology Research Institute research team, led by Jung Hae-yoon, presented the results of the “High-Resolution Active-Matrix Micro-LED Stretchable Displays” research and was selected as a Distinguished Paper.
