Perfecting visual experience, innovation and ‘Wallpaper TV’

OLED stands for organic light-emitting diode. Its panels are made from organic materials that emit light when electricity is applied to them. As a result, OLED panels don’t use a backlight meaning they are thinner than LCD displays. OLEDs additionally have bright colours, brilliant contrasts and a wide-viewing angle. 
At a press event in Korea Tuesday, LG showed off the system. It uses a magnetic mat that sits behind it on the wall. Thanks to a magnetic mat that sits behind it on the wall, the TV can be stuck to a wall. To remove the display from the wall, you peel the screen off the mat.  LG Display used high molecular substance-based polyimide film as the backplane of the flexible panel instead of conventional plastic to achieve the maximum curvature radius.  The polyimide film also helped reduce the thickness of the panel to significantly improve its flexibility. As for the transparent OLED panel, it boasts 30 percent transmittance, which was achieved by adopting the company’s transparent pixel design technology.  The TV can then be stuck to a wall using the pad. To remove the display from the wall, you peel the screen off the mat.
The head of LG Display’s OLED business unit, Sang-Deog Yeo, said “OLED represents a groundbreaking technology’ not only for the company, but also for the industry.”
The company said its display strategy will center on OLED technology – even though manufacturers have struggled to mass produce the more complex sets.
LG vowed to ramp up OLED production from the third quarter of this year to a substantial level that can meet clients’ demand, according to the Korea Times. “We should be able to supply a satisfactory volume to our clients from July or August, which means we’re hoping to buckle down production as well as promotion from the third quarter,” Sang-Deog Yeo told reporters.  LG’s 65-inch, 4K OLED TV, costs $9,000 (N1.8million).
But who will stake his money on this TV when TVs are set to be the latest casualty of the digital age, cast aside like books and newspapers before them. While the display power of televisions has improved dramatically over the last several years, tech firms have sought to bring these advances to smartphones
Now that smartphones have become the primary device users interact with, smartphone manufacturers are engaged in an arms race to equip their phones with the best possible screens; one of such companies is LG Electronics with its wide-array of leading edge smartphones.
As the smartphone production process becomes cheaper and cheaper, more firms are entering the market and releasing products that are just as capable as those from more established brands. The rising prevalence of smartphones coincides with devices that are more powerful than ever before, and the market for applications has never been better. The digital landscape is shifting rapidly, and the smartphone (and to a lesser extent the tablet) is the epicenter of change.
Customers the world over (though particularly in emerging markets) have indicated a preference for “phablets” (a device that combines the portability of a smartphone with the size of a tablet) large smartphones that straddle the line between smartphones and tablets. The large screens of these phones act as the perfect display for users who are heavy consumers of streaming media and enjoy using their phones for a variety of other purposes such as playing games and using social media apps. Phablets also have strong appeal for consumers in emerging markets such as Latin America and Asia who may not be able to afford multiple mobile devices and decide to purchase products that present the best qualities of each.
Despite the rise of phablets, there is more to creating a competitive mobile screen than simply increasing its size. As newer manufacturers attempt to carve out a piece of the lucrative mobile device market, high definition screens and interesting visual concepts are being employed to distinguish their products. More established firms have responded by working to ensure that their phones have the highest resolution displays and by releasing boundary-pushing phones of their own.
Commenting on this, General Manger, Mobile Communications, LG Electronics West Africa Operations, Mr Steve Seungeui Lee said: “Developed under the Simple is the New Smart concept, LG G3 is a culmination of consumer research based on our product development philosophy, ‘Learning from you’. The LG G3 is empowered with the best of what current technology has to offer, providing consumers with a user experience more ambitious than anything offered before by LG.
