SEOUL,
South Korea, Sept. 24,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- LG Display, the world's
leading innovator of display technologies, announced today that it
will start mass-production of the 17-inch Foldable OLED panel for
laptops, a representation of the company's earnest commitment
to the expansion of its OLED business for IT devices.
LG Display's 17-inch Foldable OLED panel features a Tandem OLED
structure previously applied to automotive displays, with a
dramatically increased lifespan suitable for IT devices. An
industry first in 2019, LG Display's Tandem OLED embodies its
groundbreaking two-stack OLED technology, which adds an extra
organic emitting layer to deliver brighter screens while
effectively dispersing energy across OLED components for optimal
stability and longer lifespans. The longevity of the panel is
well-suited to IT devices which typically have longer usage times
such as laptops, monitors, and tablets.
The company's groundbreaking 17-inch Foldable OLED for laptops
integrates a specialized material that minimizes creasing in the
folding area of the screen. This results in a seamless display and
crystal-clear picture quality, unlike conventional foldable
panels.
In addition, the 17-inch Foldable OLED features an 'in-folding'
design, allowing it to fold inwards with ease. The curvature of the
folding portion is reduced to 3R (radius of curvature 3mm),
resulting in a slim and seamless screen design that closely fits
together when folded in half.
The panel incorporates QHD+ resolution (2560 X 1920) on its
17-inch large screen and boasts an infinite contrast ratio unique
to OLED technology, ensuring high-definition content can be enjoyed
anytime and anywhere.
When fully unfolded, the screen functions as a 17-inch portable
monitor or tablet with a 4:3 ratio to maximize the ultimate
immersion. By adjusting the angle, it transforms into a 12.3-inch
laptop with a 3:2 ratio, breaking down the boundaries of a device
to adapt to customers' individual needs.
The screen is also equipped with LG Display's high-sensitivity
touchscreen solutions, enabling users to complete tasks with either
a pen or one's fingers. The touch sensor embedded within the panel
enhances touch performance, providing a tactile experience akin to
writing with an actual hand.
Meanwhile, LG Display has solidified its technology leadership
in the OLED business for the IT industry by expanding its OLED
lineup including the industry-first mass production of OLEDs for
13.3-inch Foldable laptops back in 2020 and the expansion of its
lineup to include OLEDs for 17-inch Foldable laptops this year.
An official from LG Display stated, "We will continue to
intensify our competitiveness in the OLED business for the IT
industry, expanding our orders based on differentiated technologies
such as Tandem OLED and unique folding structures."
