FRANKFURT, Germany and
SEOUL, South Korea, March 19, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- LG Display, the
world's leading innovator of display technologies, announced
today that it will showcase its latest OLED lighting advancements
at Light+Building 2018 in Frankfurt,
Germany, from March 18 to 23.
With the cutting-edge OLED lighting products of Luflex, the newly
launched brand for OLED light panels, the company will continue to
lead the OLED lighting revolution by offering eye comfort and
eye-catching design.
Under the theme of "Infinite Light," LG Display will unveil
various innovative OLED lighting products, emphasizing the
limitless flexibility and infinite inspiration that they offer.
LG Display's Luflex OLED light panels, while enabling slim and
unique designs with a thin and flexible form factor, provide soft
and natural light with less blue light, thus reducing eye fatigue.
Luflex is a portmanteau of the Latin word lux, which means light,
and the English word flex, which not only refers to flexibility in
physical form but also in application.
Most notably, Luflex panels can be twisted and rolled up to a
30mm radius of curvature without compromising any functionality.
The panels' thickness of 0.41mm puts them in a league of their own
when compared with traditional light sources, and they also offer
design potential that is sure to set fire to creative
imaginations.
LG Display will introduce its Crystal Sound OLED (CSO) Lights by
extending the use of its CSO technology used for its TV panels to
OLED light panels for the first time in the world. The paper-thin
OLED light panel itself serves as a speaker diaphragm with the
sound emanating directly from the panel which is vibrated by
exciters attached to the back. A flexible, natural lighting
installation that also serves as a speaker not only delivers
futuristic design and natural illumination, but also premium sound
-- hence the name. This new technology is expected to be widely
used in AI-integrated mood lamps and ceiling lamps that will be
able to talk with you as well as light up your life.
In addition, as previously shown at Light+Building 2016, Luflex
panels can also be powered through metal mesh transparent
conductive film laminated on glass. This "Transparent Connection
Solution" has now been upgraded to be used with flexible OLED light
panels. Now OLED light panel shelves can come in curved forms,
which opens up new paradigms in retail and hospitality design.
LG Display is also showcasing in its booth the winners of a
design competition held last year. This international design
competition inspired designers and architects around the world to
create unique and creative lighting designs with the new
technology. More than 650 people around the world submitted
designs, and 7 renowned designers and art directors selected the
winners.
Luflex is further supported by LG Display's increased production
capacity. The company completed its 5th generation
(1,100mm x 1,250mm) OLED light panel production line in Gumi,
South Korea, in Dec. 2017 with a monthly capacity of 15,000
sheets, which is about a 30-fold increase compared to the existing
2nd generation production line (370mm x 470mm) in Gumi
with a monthly capacity of 4,000 sheets. The production capacity of
the new production line will be gradually ramped up.
"We launched Luflex to create OLED lights that catch your eyes
and comfort them with their natural light," said Sung Soo Park, Vice President and Head of the
OLED Light Business Division at LG Display. "We also expanded our
production line with the belief in the unlimited potential of OLED
lighting. We are glad to be able to produce 30 times the capacity
of lighting as before and are confident that Luflex will soon be
lighting up spaces all around the world."
LG Display is exhibiting its latest developments in OLED
lighting along with its new brand, Luflex, at Messe Frankfurt AGORA
A30. We cordially invite everyone who can make it to come see the
booth.
