LG Display will begin full-scale mass production of an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) panel that satisfies everything from work to high-performance gaming with a single monitor.
LG Display said on the 28th that it succeeded, for the first time in the world, in commercializing a "240Hz RGB stripe OLED panel."
An RGB stripe OLED has a structure in which red, green, and blue (RGB) subpixels are arranged in a row. Compared with existing products, it can render small letters and numbers more clearly.
With this OLED mass production, LG Display plans to target the premium monitor market. As artificial intelligence (AI) PCs become more widespread and multitasking and high-resolution-based work increases, demand is rapidly growing for next-generation displays that deliver sharp text and immersive picture quality at the same time.
The new product delivers a 160 PPI high resolution and a 240Hz high refresh rate with an RGB stripe structure. The 240Hz RGB stripe OLED panel is the first product to realize a densely packed pixel structure at around 160 PPI on an RGB stripe structure, optimized for viewing and appreciating high-definition content.
Based on the high refresh rate, motion is expressed much more smoothly and naturally. In addition, by applying LG Display's proprietary "DFR (dynamic refresh rate & resolution)" technology, users can freely choose between high-resolution (4K 240Hz) and high-refresh-rate (FHD 480Hz) modes. A single monitor can satisfy work, entertainment, and even high-performance gaming.
LG Display, together with major global monitor brands, will start with mass production of 27-inch models, where market demand is high, and then expand the lineup. Through this, the company aims to accelerate the shift to OLED in the high-end monitor market, which is centered on premium liquid crystal display (LCD) products.
