[Asia Economy Reporter Jeong Hyunjin] LG Display announced on the 3rd that it will unveil its innovative display technologies under the theme 'Display Your Universe' at 'CES2022,' the world's largest IT and home appliance exhibition.

At this exhibition, LG Display will showcase the next-generation organic light-emitting diode (OLED) TV panel 'OLED.EX,' which revolutionizes picture quality with deuterium and personalized algorithms; 'Transparent and Flexible OLED Solutions' proposing the future of everyday living spaces; high-end IT display technology 'IPS Black'; gaming OLED; and a 17-inch foldable OLED for laptops.

LG Display will also introduce the recently unveiled OLED.EX at CES. OLED.EX is an OLED TV panel applying 'EX Technology,' which combines deuterium technology and personalized algorithms to the organic light-emitting elements. It increases screen brightness (luminance) by 30%, reproduces natural colors with precision, and reduces the screen bezel by 30% compared to previous models. It is scheduled to be applied to all OLED TV panel series starting from the second quarter of this year.

LG Display's transparent OLED solution offers high transparency while delivering clear images, naturally providing various information and graphic effects. It is thin and lightweight, making it highly applicable in other industries such as transportation and architecture. At this exhibition, new concept transparent products for commercial facilities like shopping malls will be unveiled. In particular, the 'Transparent Show Window,' previously made with a single 55-inch transparent OLED panel, will be presented in an expanded form by connecting four panels vertically and horizontally. Additionally, a 'Transparent Showcase' combining transparent OLED with display shelves for promotional use will also be showcased.

The 'Transparent OLED for Subway Windows,' which allows passengers to view outside scenery through subway glass while simultaneously checking operational schedules, location information, weather forecasts, and news, and the 'Transparent Smart Window' applicable to office spaces will also be exhibited. Furthermore, the interior home screen concept 'Transparent Shelf,' suggesting the future direction of home displays, and futuristic flexible OLED solutions will be introduced. Among flexible OLEDs, 'Virtual Ride' is a concept combining three 55-inch flexible OLED panels connected from floor to ceiling with exercise equipment, delivering a vivid experience akin to running outdoors even indoors.

LG Display's gaming OLED offers ten times faster response speed than LCD gaming monitors, zero afterimage, high picture quality, and user comfort that reduces eye fatigue even after prolonged focus. This year, 48-inch and 42-inch OLED displays will be launched. Alongside this, the world's largest 17-inch foldable OLED for laptops will allow versatile use as a tablet, laptop, or portable monitor as needed, equipped with a total touch solution supporting both finger and pen touch.

LG Display will unveil the world's first premium LCD technology for IT, 'IPS Black.' This technology achieves 35% deeper blacks than existing IPS products, enhancing contrast ratio, viewing angles, and delicate color expression in dark areas. It delivers lifelike clarity and color for detail-sensitive professionals while reducing blue light emission. Additionally, it offers LG Display's unique four-sided borderless design with almost no bezel on the top, bottom, left, and right edges. At this exhibition, a 27-inch UHD monitor featuring IPS Black will be revealed.

The CES2022 exhibition products will be available online to customers from 10 a.m. on the 4th until March 31 via the official CES website, and anyone can view them anytime through the open exhibition operated by the LG Display Newsroom.
