LGD Unveils Industry-First 480Hz QHD Gaming OLED Panel

First Unveiled at CES 2024
Mass Production and Supply Scheduled for First Half of This Year

LG Display recently announced on the 4th that it has completed the development of a '27-inch 480Hz QHD gaming organic light-emitting diode (OLED) panel' and will unveil it for the first time at the world's largest IT and electronics exhibition, CES 2024, held this month in Las Vegas, USA.

This panel offers the optimal gaming experience with LG Display OLED's unique image quality, where each pixel emits light without a backlight, featuring a high refresh rate (480Hz), QHD (2560x1440) resolution, and the fastest response time (0.03ms) among existing panels.

By applying a new technology called 'Meta Technology' based on ultra-fine lenses (MLA) that maximize the light emission of organic materials, the panel enhances image quality and minimizes the reflection phenomenon where surrounding objects appear on the screen in dark scenes. Additionally, the amount of harmful blue light emitted is about half that of liquid crystal displays (LCDs), and flicker, which can cause headaches, does not occur, making it less straining on the eyes even during long gaming sessions.

The 27-inch 480Hz QHD gaming OLED panel is scheduled for mass production and supply in the first half of this year.

Meanwhile, LG Display plans to officially enter the high-end gaming display market by unveiling a full lineup of gaming OLED panels ranging from 27 inches to 31.5, 34, 39, and 45 inches at CES 2024. Among these, the 30-inch class panel is a product being introduced for the first time this year. The 34- and 39-inch panels offer an ultra-wide (21:9) aspect ratio for a comfortable gaming experience, while the 31.5-inch panel supports UHD (3840x2160) resolution, making it versatile for everyday use such as gaming, office work, and content viewing.

Kang Won-seok, Executive Director of Large Product Planning at LG Display, said, "We will strengthen our leadership in the high-end gaming display market with OLED's differentiated technologies such as ultra-high refresh rate, fast response time, and perfect black."
