LGD's Next-Gen OLED EX Enables 30% More Brightness, Thinner Bezels

LG Display's next-generation OLED EX technology boosts brightness by up to 30% over previous OLED versions, said the panel maker Wednesday. LGD was able to convert the hydrogen elements in OLEDs into “stable deuterium,” applying the compounds to OLED EX for the first time, it said. An algorithm in OLED EX uses machine learning to study viewing patterns, then controls the display’s energy input to accurately reproduce the details and colors of video content, said LGD. The technology enables a 30% reduction in bezel thickness, it said. LGD plans to integrate OLED EX into all OLED TV panel production at its fabs in Paju, South Korea, and Guangzhou, China, beginning in Q2, it said.
