LG To Unveil Flexible 5-inch Plastic OLED Panel

After Samsung, LG Display, a leading innovator of display technologies, has announced that it will also unveil a flexible display screen for mobile devices.

The development comes at a time when smart devices are being used more than ever and at increased risk for damage from drops, hits, and other accidents.

LG Display will introduce 5-inch and 7-inch HD LCD panels based on Oxide Thin Film Transistor (TFT), seen as the next generation TFT technology as it offers high investment efficiency in producing thin, high transparency, and low power consumption displays.

The 5-inch HD panel will feature 1.0 mm bezel (rim) allowing production of borderless smartphones that are lightweight and emit significantly less heat. The 7-inch HD LCD panel is equipped with touch function-embedded technology enabling touch functionality in thin and lightweight mobile products.

The company will be using plastic as the base for these panels, which will make them almost unbreakable and flexible.

LG will showcase the latest TV, mobile, and other products representing the future of display technology at the Society for Information Display’s (SID) Display Week 2013 in Vancouver, Canada, scheduled from May 19 to 24.
