Even with the sun at its zenith, 'Perfect Black'... LGD OLED Panel, Industry's First Global Verification

Global Safety Science Company UL Solutions Praises Perfect Black in Any Environment
The Only Existing TV and Monitor Panel... LGD Says "Possible Due to No Light Leakage and Reflection"

[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Chaeseok] LG Display announced on the 19th that it has been recognized as the only OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) panel manufacturer capable of achieving 'perfect black' even under the strongest midday sunlight.

On the same day, LG Display announced that all OLED panels across its entire lineup, ranging from 42 to 97 inches, have been verified for 'Perfect Black' by the global applied safety science company UL Solutions.

LG Display explained that it has overcome the limitation where displays inevitably get affected by external light when expressing colors. A typical example is black appearing gray in bright environments. When watching TV at noon under strong sunlight, the space scenes or city nightscapes appear hazy as if covered by fog, reducing immersion.

UL Solutions displayed black screens on various panels under a 500 lux illumination environment similar to a midday living room and measured luminance (brightness). LG Display's OLED panels recorded a measurement of 0.15 nits (1 nit equals the brightness of a single candle), meeting the Perfect Black verification standard of 0.24 nits or less. According to the company, LG Display's OLED panels are the only existing TV and monitor panels to meet this standard.

LG Display's OLED panels, where each pixel emits light independently, achieve black by turning off the power to individual pixels. This means there is no light leakage and external light reflection is minimized. With infinite contrast ratio and top-level color fidelity, it accurately delivers the original video quality without distortion or exaggeration.

Previously, OLED TV panels were certified for '100% Color Fidelity' by Intertek, a global testing and certification organization in the UK, for accurately expressing the original brightness, saturation, and color intended by the creators.

Jin Mingyu, head of Life Display Promotion at LG Display, said, "Based on perfect 'black,' colors are richer and image quality is clearer, recognizing the superior image quality unique to LG Display OLED."
