'OLED will bring revolution to people's lives,' LG Display CEO tells IFA 2015
2015.11.02Dr. Sang Beom Han, CEO and President of LG Display, the world’s leading innovator of display technologies, said today that OLED represents a revolutionary leap in display technology that will change people’s lives as he delivered the opening keynote speech at IFA 2015 in Berlin.
“We are now living in an era of displays. Through displays, we share information. Through displays, we communicate. Through displays, we look into the future and dream about it,” said Dr. Han in his speech on “How displays will change our lives.”
Displays are becoming increasingly important as their application expands beyond consumer electronics and IT/mobile devices to cars, hospitals and schools.
“We want OLED to be the revolution of light that opens up the future we all want to live in,” said Dr. Han, who is the first display industry CEO to have been given the honor of delivering the opening IFA keynote address, which is normally reserved for heads of consumer electronics companies.
Dr. Han told the audience that OLED is the only technology that overcomes the limitations of conventional displays because it offers enhanced reality combined with dynamic form. OLED offers superior light and color expression because it is based on self-emitting light sources. Its flexibility and its transparent nature are the result of the development of innovative OLED materials. These essential attributes mean OLED can bring to reality what has only been imagined until now.
Dr. Han said that LG Display’s research development is focused on delivering value to customers that cannot be achieved with conventional displays. OLED displays can be used in a number of future applications from wearables and fashion to home furnishings and room designs.
LG Display presented several OLED prototypes at IFA keynote event. The company introduced a 111-inch “wave” double-sided display(Vertical Tiling OLED), made out of three attached 65-inch Ultra HD OLED displays.
LG Display also showed a 55-inch double-sided commercial display with a thickness of approximately 5.3mm, which is thinner than the latest smartphone, and weighing only 12 kilograms, making it suitable to be shown in a variety of locations. In addition, the company presented a 55-inch “wallpaper” OLED display with a thickness of less than 1 millimeter that can instantly be attached to and removed from walls because of its magnetic backing.
