LG has announced several new display technologies ahead of the annual Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2021. The all-virtual event will see LG reveal a transparent OLED panel as well as another display that will be able to switch between a flat-screen and a curved screen. Here is all we know about the two display technologies so far.
The LG Smart Bed will be a 55-inch transparent OLED display. The display itself rises from frame to frame and shows content in different screen ratios. According to LG, the panel is able to switch screen ratios without affecting image quality. The Smart Bed display will also come with LG’s Cinematic Sound OLED (CSO) technology. The CSO technology was revealed by LG back in CES 2017, enabling the displays to vibrate to create sounds. It is likely to show up with improvements in CES 2021.
Also including the same CSO technology is a new bendable display by LG. The new display will be capable of switching between a flat-screen and a curved screen. When curved, the display will be able to achieve a radius of 1,000mm. Targeted at gamers, LG claims the display will be able to deliver a uniformly immersive experience. This panel will also be able to refresh at 120Hz and will feature a response time of 0.1 milliseconds.
LG is the market leader when it comes to OLED panels. With LG bringing more versatility to the display segment, a future where we could see such technology coming to smartphones and portable displays is now a step closer.
