LG Unveils OLED EX Technology

<p>LG Display&comma; the South Korean maker of display technologies&comma; has unveiled its newest OLED TV technology &&num;8216&semi;OLED EX&&num;8217&semi;&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>The next-generation OLED EX display implements LG Display&&num;8217&semi;s deuterium and personalized algorithm-based &&num;8216&semi;EX Technology&comma;&&num;8217&semi; which helps boost the display&&num;8217&semi;s overall picture quality by enhancing brightness up to 30 percent compared to conventional OLED displays&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>The OLED EX name is an acronym of &&num;8216&semi;Evolution&&num;8217&semi; and &&num;8216&semi;eXperience&&num;8217&semi;&comma; which represents the company&&num;8217&semi;s goal of providing customers with new experiences through its ever-evolving OLED technology&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>OLED displays are self-emissive by nature with their multiple millions of pixels emitting<span id&equals;"spanHghlt5760"> light independently<&sol;span> without a separate backlight source&period; This distinctive characteristic lets OLED EX achieve the perfect black&comma; rich and accurate color expression as well as an extremely fast response time&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>Since 2013&comma; the year it became the first to mass produce OLED TV displays&comma; LG Display has been consistently improving its leading OLED technology&period; OLED EX is the result of the unparalleled knowledge and knowhow the company has gained over nearly ten years of developing OLED displays&comma; created to deliver the most lifelike images that transcend the limitations of a conventional display&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>The EX Technology applied to the OLED EX displays combines deuterium compounds and personalized algorithms to enhance the stability and efficiency of the organic light emitting diode&comma; thereby improving the overall display performance&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>With EX Technology&comma; OLED EX displays unlock new levels of picture accuracy and brightness to accurately deliver exquisite&comma; realistic details and colors without any distortion – such as the reflection of sunlight on a river or each individual vein of a tree leaf&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>Deuterium compounds are used to make highly efficient organic light-emitting diodes that emit stronger light&period; LG Display has successfully converted the hydrogen elements present in organic light emitting elements into stable deuterium and managed to apply the compounds to OLED EX for the first time&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>Deuterium is twice as heavy as normal Hydrogen&comma; and only a small amount exists in the natural world – as only one atom of Deuterium is found in about 6&comma;000 ordinary Hydrogen atoms&period; LG Display has worked out how to extract deuterium from water and apply it to organic light-emitting devices&period; When stabilized&comma; the Deuterium compounds allow the display to emit brighter light while maintaining high efficiency for a long time&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>With LG Display&&num;8217&semi;s very own &&num;8216&semi;personalized algorithm&&num;8217&semi; based on machine learning technology&comma; OLED EX is more in control of its own device&period; The algorithm predicts the usage amount of up to 33 million organic light-emitting diodes based on <span class&equals;"xn-money">8K<&sol;span> OLED displays after learning individual viewing patterns&comma; and precisely controls the display&&num;8217&semi;s energy input to more accurately express the details and colors of the video content being played&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>LG Display has also upgraded its designs through the new OLED EX technology&period; By utilizing its innovative EX Technology&comma; <span id&equals;"spanHghlt86c0">the company reduced<&sol;span> bezel <span id&equals;"spanHghlt8634">thickness from<&sol;span> the original 6 mm to 4 mm based on 65-inch OLED displays&period; By reducing the thickness by 30 percent compared to existing OLED displays&comma; the OLED EX display creates an even more immersive viewing experience all the while delivering a sleeker and premium design&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>LG Display plans to strengthen its leadership and product competitiveness in the large-sized OLED business by integrating OLED EX technology into all OLED TV displays manufactured at its OLED production plants in Paju&comma; <span class&equals;"xn-location">South Korea<&sol;span>&comma; and in <span class&equals;"xn-location">Guangzhou&comma; China<&sol;span>&comma; starting from the second quarter of 2022&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>In 2013&comma; LG Display&&num;8217&semi;s first year of starting mass-production of OLED TV displays&comma; the company sold 200&comma;000 units and by early last year recorded accumulated sales of 10 million units&period; In the two years since then&comma; the company&&num;8217&semi;s accumulated sales have doubled to surpass 20 million units globally&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>&&num;8220&semi;Despite the global TV market experiencing a 12 percent decline this year&comma; we still observed a 70 percent growth in OLED sales&comma;&&num;8221&semi; said Dr&period; Oh Chang-ho&comma; Executive Vice President &amp&semi; Head of the TV Business Unit at LG Display&period; &&num;8220&semi;With our new OLED EX technology&comma; we aim to provide even more innovative&comma; high-end customer experiences through the evolution of our OLED technology&comma; algorithms and designs&period;&&num;8221&semi;<&sol;p>&NewLine;
