LG has announced a breakthrough in OLED technology that could usher in a new era of brilliance and efficiency. Dubbed ‘Dream OLED,’ this innovation leverages blue phosphorescence, a long-sought solution to the limitations of traditional blue OLED subpixels.
The challenge with existing OLED displays lies in the blue subpixel. It’s significantly less efficient and more complex to achieve high brightness compared to its red and green counterparts. This results in dimmer blue light, more heat generation, and shorter lifespan.
LG’s ‘Dream OLED’ addresses these shortcomings by combining phosphorescence and fluorescent blue OLED technologies. This ingenious stacking technique results in significantly improved efficiency, brightness, and longevity. The benefits extend beyond improved visuals, also tackling the notorious ‘burn-in’ issue that plagues OLED displays.
While current OLED displays already boast exceptional image quality and have made strides in brightness, this new technology promises to leapfrog even Quantum Dot (QD) displays in brightness. This is a game-changer for OLED, potentially offering the best of both worlds: stunning visuals and top-tier brightness.
LG is currently evaluating its ‘Dream OLED’ technology for full-scale production, with TVs and gaming displays potentially launching within a year. This could revolutionize the market, making OLED the ultimate display technology for consumers seeking the best possible visual experience.
