SEOUL, South Korea,
Dec. 30, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- LG
Display, the world's leading innovator of display technologies,
announced today brand-new Transparent OLED applications to be
showcased at the upcoming all-digital CES 2021. The company has
applied its cutting-edge transparent OLED displays to objects
and situations that people encounter on a daily basis, thereby
presenting an upgraded lifestyle of the future.
Among LG Display's most exciting and practical Transparent OLED
products is a Smart Bed to be showcased in a Smart Home Zone
at the company's online showroom, featuring a frame that can be
moved to the foot of a bed of the user's choice. At the push of a
button, the Smart Bed's 55-inch Transparent OLED display rises from
its frame to show information or TV contents in various screen
ratios without compromising its clear image quality that does not
rely on backlights. With immersive Cinematic Sound OLED (CSO)
embedded in the frame, there is also no need to clutter bedroom
space with external speakers. In addition, the Smart Bed display's
movable frame can easily be taken to various locations in a
house to serve the diverse needs of users.
LG Display is also offering a game-changer to its customers at
CES 2021 in a Restaurant Zone, where a sushi bar can utilize a
55-inch Transparent OLED display to deliver information with clear
image quality while benefiting from high transparency to
maintain a connection between people on both sides of the screen.
As guests wait for their order, they can watch a movie or TV
program, while at the same time viewing the chef preparing their
food on the other side of the display. This innovative product
naturally stands out more in the contactless era as it can not only
act as a partition but also serve up some fun.
LG Display will additionally demonstrate how the company's
55-inch Transparent OLED display can be applied to a subway
train in a Metro Zone. While on board a virtual train
carriage, passengers may look outside through the transparent
display that has replaced a traditional window. Its high
transparency enabled by OLED means passengers can still enjoy
the passing scenery while viewing clear information such as subway
line maps, weather information, and other news.
"Transparent OLED is a technology that maximizes the advantages
of OLED and can be used in various places in our daily lives, from
stores, shopping malls, and architectural interiors to autonomous
vehicles, subway trains, and aircraft," said Jong-sun Park, Senior
Vice President & Head of the Commercial Business Unit at LG
Display. He added, "It will grow into a next-generation display
that can change the existing display paradigm."
The company's Transparent OLED realizes 40%
transparency, providing clear image quality while being
crystal clear like glass compared to the existing transparent
LCD with only 10% transparency. With its superior
transparency, Transparent OLED can be used in various fields such
as smart homes, smart buildings, and mobility, including autonomous
vehicles, aircraft, and subways. LG Display, the only transparent
OLED manufacturer in the world, is seeing growing demand for
Transparent OLED from these industries.
The company will demonstrate its cutting-edge products
online at CES 2021 where all general visitors can enjoy them for
the first time.
