LG's 55-inch OLED TV panel is world's largest, yet might be affordable


LG Display, a leading innovator of thin-film transistor liquid crystal display (TFT-LCD) technology has developed the world's largest 55-inch OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diodes) TV panel, today. It demonstrates the effective application of AMOLED technology to larger panel sizes at a more cost efficient level.

Dr. Sang Beom Han, CEO and Executive Vice President of LG Display, had this to say about today's announcement: "Our objective has always been to actively define and lead emerging display technology markets. Although OLED technology is seen as the future of TV display, the technology has been limited to smaller display sizes and by high costs, until now. LG Display's 55-inch OLED TV panel has overcome these barriers."

But unfortunately LG says they see the device as a step forward in popularizing the concept of large-sized OLED TVs. In other words, the TV is just a prototype at this point with neither a price tag nor a release date, and we might have to wait years before being able to actually buy one.
