LG Display will unveil next-generation organic light-emitting diode (OLED) technology at SID Display Week 2026 in Los Angeles.
LG Display said it will take part in the event at the Los Angeles Convention Center from the 5th to the 7th and run an exhibition under the theme "the evolution of OLED for the age of artificial intelligence (AI)." The exhibit is organized into three zones—tandem WOLED, tandem OLED, and innovative technologies—and will showcase large, mid- to small-sized, and automotive OLED products together.
In particular, it will debut the "third-generation tandem OLED." A tandem OLED stacks multiple OLED layers to improve brightness, lifespan, and power efficiency. LG Display commercialized this technology for automotive displays in 2019 and began mass production of second-generation products in 2023.
This third-generation product is designed for vehicles. Compared with existing products, it reduces power consumption by 18% and more than doubles lifespan. At a room-temperature brightness of 1,200 nit, it can suppress screen quality degradation even after more than 15,000 hours of operation. The third-generation tandem OLED for vehicles will enter mass production within this year, with plans to expand its application to IT products afterward.
Displays aimed at the physical AI field, including robots, will also be unveiled. LG Display will present, for the first time to the general public, a P-OLED product for a Humanoid Robot. P-OLED is an OLED that uses a plastic substrate, offering relatively flexible form factor design. This product applies the automotive tandem OLED technology.
Large OLEDs and products for gaming and IT will also be on display. LG Display said it achieved up to 4,500 nit luminance and a low reflectance of about 0.3% with an OLED TV panel featuring Primary RGB Tandem 2.0.
For gaming, it will showcase a 27-inch OLED panel with a 720 Hz refresh rate and a 39-inch 5K2K curved OLED panel. It will also unveil a 27-inch OLED panel with 5K resolution and 220 PPI (pixels per inch). This product reduces color fringing and color distortion by applying an RGB stripe structure and a new panel design.
A 16-inch tandem OLED targeting AI laptops will also be exhibited. It is designed to extend battery life by reducing thickness and weight compared with existing OLEDs while improving power efficiency.
In the automotive exhibit, display concepts for software-defined vehicles (SDV) will be introduced, including a 57-inch P2P panel that extends from the driver's seat to the passenger seat and a 32-inch slider OLED that descends from the ceiling.
Choi Young-seok, chief technology officer (CTO) at LG Display, said, "We will put customers first and, as a technology-centered company, firmly establish our technology leadership to lead the future display market."
