LG Stuns at IFA With 31-inch OLED 3DTV
BERLIN: LG fired up the blogosphere with the debut of a
prototype 31-inch organic light emitting diode 3D-capable television at the IFA
electronics show in Berlin, which concludes today. At 31 inches, the screen is
the largest OLED to be demonstrated in public, and possibly the thinnest, at
less than one-third of a centimeter.
“LG’s OLED TVs dispense with the backlights used on conventional LCD models in
favour of a film of pixels that actually produce their own light,” the Korean
electronics maker said.
LG rolled out a 15.1-inch OLED for $2,500 last December, two years after Sony
was the first to market an OLED TV in the form of its similarly priced 11-inch
XEL-1. Sales of the XEL-1 were ceased in Japan earlier this year, though North
American production continued. Sony revealed in May that it was working on
super-flexible OLED displays, demonstrating a pocket-sized video screen that
could be rolled up on a pencil.
The latest OLED from LG features 2D and 3D display capabilities--a first for
the screen type. No release date nor suggested retail price were reported for
the 31-inch model.
