LG is going to provide us a glimpse of what the future of displays looks like, at the CES 2021.?
As for what is known so far, the South Korean technology major will showcase transparent as well as bendable displays at the tech event, which can be used for a multitude of applications.
Starting with the bendable technology, LG Display has introduced a 48-inch OLED display that is bendable, ahead of the CES 2021. The first of its kind display features built-in sound as per the company, mentions a FlatPanels HD report. The new display is essentially a bendable version of the 48-inch OLED panel introduced last year. LG says that the bendable technology makes the display more optimised for gaming.
LG says that the display can Ħ°be made to bend up to a radius of 1,000mmĦħ without having any effect on the functioning of the display. By curving the screen while gaming, gamers can have a much sought after visual immersion, with uniform viewing distance from the middle.
The OLED display is also equipped with LG's CSO - Crystal Sound OLED technology that produces sound without using any speakers. The technology uses a 0.6mm slim exciter to vibrate the screen to create sound.
It is expected that the bendable CSO display will feature a 4k resolution, as was the case with the similar OLED display last year.
Other than the bendable display, LG will reveal another of its achievements in the world of displays at CES 2021. As the only firm to be possessing such transparent OLED technology, LG will feature a 55-inch transparent OLED display meant for everyday use.
An intriguing part of its functioning is that the unique TV will be able to run at different aspect ratios, meaning it is not necessary that the entire screen will light up every time, as mentioned in a report by TechRadar.
LG finds several uses for the technology. In one particular display, it will show the transparent display embedded into a frame that sits at the foot of a bed. The TV thus rises from the end of the bed to form a transparent screen ready for use with built in speakers.
Outside your home, LG envisions the display to be used at several settings, such as at restaurants for diners to view the menu and order their food as well as substations for travellers to view maps of connecting lines.
In both the cases, it is easy to see how a transparent display would fit in perfectly with the surroundings. Even though the adoption of such a technology is yet to be observed, it certainly spells the future of displays in every sense.
