Kang Won-seok, vice president of LG Display, announced that it will ship a 20-inch organic EL (OLED) display panel by the end of the year. He also revealed that the company is in talks with customers to develop curvature-tunable OLED display panels.
The company is also rumored to be developing display panels for the iPad Pro and MacBook Pro with OLED displays.
Confidence in developing foldable OLED display panel
Kang Won-seok said that LG Display’s white OLED display panel, which consists of a single substrate, is the only technology that enables a bendable OLED display.
This indirectly suggests that Samsung Display’s quantum dot (QD) OLED display panel, which uses two glass substrates, is difficult to achieve, reports The Elec.
LG Display plans to start shipping its 20-inch OLED display panel by the end of the year. TechPowerUp expects this display panel to be installed in gaming laptops.
Planning to develop panels for OLED displays with variable curvature
The curvature variable OLED display panel seems to be flat, and if it is bent, the curvature can be freely set by the user between 800R and 1,000R.
In addition to this, LG Display is also developing several new OLED display panels, according to TechPowerUp.
Involved in display development for folding MacBook
Apple is rumored to be working on an iPad Pro with an OLED display, a MacBook Pro, and a MacBook with a folding display.
LG Display is believed to be leading the way in developing display panels for iPad Pro and MacBook Pro with OLED displays.
