LG Display has outdone itself, with more flexible
displays than it’s ever made before.

The company announced today a flexible 18-inch
panel made of organic light-emitting diodes or
OLEDs, as well as a new transparent OLED panel in
the same size thats beats previous models on light
transmittance and haze.


The research could result in the creation of more, and
larger devices with transparent or flexible displays.


That means devices no longer need to stay straight
the way they do when displays are made of glass.


It could also represent a challenge to competitors
like Samsung.


The new display boasts 1 million megapixels
and can be rolled up to a radius of 3 cm.

The company figures now that it can produce rollable
televisions larger than 50 inches ( 127 Centimeters ).


The new transparent OLED panel cuts down on
a hazy quality in images, by increasing light
transmittance to 30 percent.


Compare that with 10 percent, which LG Display says
is common among current transparent LCD displays.

LG Display has been investing heavily in OLED which
can brighter than more staid LCD displays.


Last year it announced plans to spend $655 million
on manufacturing infrastructure for a factory in
South Korea.


Do you see yourself in a few years ( 2017 ) with
a roller and transparent TV in your living room?

The big problem with Oled currently is lifespan, they tend to die very quickly. They are trying to make them last longer, but they will need to throw scrooge mcduck size piles of cash at it for a while to hopefully overcome that flaw.

I wonder if anyone is worried that this tech once improve could be used for active camouflage? I know the military is developing a infrared version so that a tank can be disguised as a car when looking at it with a infrared sensor.Combined with a flexible screen it could make a tank invisible.
