On January 1, 2018, LG Display announced that it has successfully developed the world's first 88-inch 8K OLED panel to prove and consolidate its leading position in the global display industry again.
As the world's first large-size 8K OLED display, the panel has a resolution of 7680 × 4320 pixels and 33 million pixels, and its resolution is four times that of the current 4K Ultra High Definition (UHD) TV, Full HD FHD) TV 16 times, can give the user a stunning clear picture.
LG Display 88-inch 8K OLED panel
As the largest and highest resolution high-end product in today's OLED TV panels, the 88-inch 8K OLED panel will undoubtedly be another milestone in OLED history as the market leader in high-end TVs at the dawn of the 8K era .
Lead the ultra-high resolution market
In general, the higher the resolution of the display panel, the image quality will be more refined and more vivid.However, the smaller the pixel size of the composition of the screen, while the pixel components is difficult to scale down the same, so the panel The aperture ratio is correspondingly reduced, which means that the efficiency of light passing through the panel is reduced so that it is difficult to achieve a higher display brightness.
OLED has a self-luminous feature, no backlight, each pixel of its own brightness can be controlled, so will not be reduced due to reduced aperture led to lower brightness, very easy to achieve ultra-high resolution 8K display. In addition, LG Display unique innovation Panel design, meticulous process and compensation technology, has become the 8K display technology to achieve further protection can look forward to, OLED will be able to continue to lead the large size, ultra-high resolution display market.
In contrast, due to the non-self-luminescent properties of the LCD, the light transmissivity decreases rapidly as the pixel size becomes smaller, so the backlight can only rely on the backlight to ensure performance.If the LCD and the UHD achieve the same brightness, will cause the backlight Cost and power consumption increased rapidly.
Create a more sophisticated picture quality
As we all know, compared to the LCD, OLED can show a perfect black, with unlimited contrast, excellent wide viewing angle and more vivid colors; at the same time, OLED TV in the ultra-high definition (UHD) TV market has also gained great recognition, In the United States, Europe, Australia and other countries, consumer magazine organized TV evaluation, OLED TV took the first place, was named the best television products.
Display Mate, the authority of the U.S. Display Authority, once praised: "OLED TVs are near perfect picture quality and have the best color accuracy, brightness accuracy and picture contrast compared to other TVs currently tested."
Reiji Asakur, Japan's Picture Quality Specialist, vice president of the Japan Picture Quality Association, said in the OLED White Paper, the most authoritative audio and visual magazine "HiVi," that in achieving ultra-high resolution of 4K or more, OLED TV is the best choice for displaying fine quality through higher contrast. '
8K OLED technology to further improve the quality of the TV OLED without backlight, can independently control 33 million pixels, can maximize the use of ultra-high resolution 8K fine quality, giving consumers a more vivid viewing Experience.
To achieve the maximization of design and quality of collaboration
The shape and thickness of the panel has always been an important factor in TV design considerations.On the form aspect, the OLED panel has achieved a variety of display modes of curling, folding, double-sided, concave and convex, etc., showing unlimited design freedom. Of the self-luminous advantage, the display resolution increased to 8K magnitude at the same time, OLED panel can still maintain the slim design; the contrary, the LCD panel to achieve the resolution of 8K, with the normal viewing required brightness, the need to greatly enhance the backlight Source, thus resulting in an increase in panel thickness and volume.
Technically, for LCDs, the LCD panel achieves 4K display with a side-in backlight at 4K resolution by adding a backlight at the edge of the screen, without increasing the thickness of the panel; at 8K resolution, To achieve the brightness and image quality beyond 4K, you need to use direct-type backlight, that is, to add a backlight behind the panel to achieve normal display, panel thickness and volume will inevitably increase.
This shows that in the 8K era, OLED will continue to lead the ultra-high resolution market with finer picture quality and slimmer design.
"As the forerunner of large-size OLED display market, LG Display successfully developed the world's first large-size 8K OLED panel to further prove the technological advantages of OLED while leading the 8K display era." Jiang Renbing, vice president of LG Display CTO said : 'In the future, LG Display will continue to accelerate the development of OLED products and continue to provide the differentiated products needed by customers and the market.'
It is reported that, LG Display will be held January 9, 2012 to 12 in Las Vegas, United States CES International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) set up a special exhibition hall, display, including 8K OLED products, including innovative products .
