The Amazing OLED Wallpaper TV by LG: Less Then 1mm Thick 55-inch OLED Screen

LG Display, the screen-making subsidiary of LG has unveiled an impossibly thin television at a press event earlier thhis year in its home country of Korea. LG Display showed off a “wallpaper” proof-of-concept television. The 55-inch OLED (organic light-emitting diode) display weighs only 1.9 kilograms and is less than a millimeter thick.
Thanks to a magnetic mat that sits behind it on the wall, the TV can be stuck to a wall. To remove the display from the wall, you peel the screen off the mat.
OLED is widely believed to be the next frontier. The technology adds an organic compound layer that allows not only for exceedingly thin screens, but for those displays to be curved. The organic material also emits its own light, eliminating the need for a backlight. That allows for such thin screens and has made OLED a desirable choice not only for televisions, but for a wide range of wearables and other mobile products. LG Display believes OLED could be the de facto display technology in all products in the future.

LG investeert ruim 8 miljard euro in OLED
LG Display, de schermdivisie van LG, investeert ruim 10 biljoen won (omgerekend ruim 8,16 miljard euro) in een nieuwe fabriek in Paju, Zuid-Korea waar OLED-schermen gemaakt gaan worden. De productie zal naar verwachting in 2018 starten.
OLED is een nieuwe schermsoort naast bijvoorbeeld lcd en plasma. Het scherm heeft diepere zwartwaarden, een beter contrast en een lager energieverbruik. Bovendien kunnen tv’s dunner worden.
