LG Display Says It Would Have Shown 77-Inch OLED in LA if Not for South Korean Government

LG Display blames the South Korean government for not letting it showcase at last month’s Display Week in Los Angeles the 77-inch flexible, transparent OLED display that it bowed Thursday (see 1706220004), Jean Lee, spokeswoman for the panel maker, emailed us. The “cutting edge” 77-inch display “is the result of the Korean government's project which started from 2012,” said Lee. “In other words, we are bound to the government's timeline and schedule.” In its Thursday announcement, LG Display said it “has consistently advanced the fundamental technologies that enable large-sized flexible and transparent OLED displays in collaboration with the Korean government, which sees OLEDs as the future display technology.”
