LG’s 18″ flexible OLED screen gets rolled up on video

by 44 comments

About a couple of weeks ago LG boasted about its new 18-inch flexible OLED display panel, which can be rolled into a tube. It also announced that it’s developed a transparent OLED screen that has three times the amount of transmittance that the current crop of LCD displays offers. And today we get to see both of those on video.

The Korean company’s flexible OLED is really bendy, as it’s being rolled up to a radius of about 3 cm. The transparent display apparently has a 30% transmittance, which makes for a clearer viewing experience compared to LCDs.

The 18-inch flexible OLED which you can see in the first video below getting rolled up has 1280×810 resolution, but not much else is known about it yet.

It’s the same thing for the transparent panel showcased in the next short video. That said, both of these serve just as demonstrations of what’s currently possible to achieve with OLED technology.

Ultimately, LG plans on having both a flexible and a transparent model bigger than 60 inches available for purchase by 2017. That’s an ambitious plan undoubtedly, but as this project is being funded by the Korean government it might not be impossible.
