LG Display has announced that it has started mass production of the industry’s first 13-inch panel for laptops based on Tandem OLED, a technology that delivers higher performance and lower power consumption versus conventional single-layer OLED displays, achieved by combining two stacks of red, green, and blue (RGB) organic light emitting layers. The new panel, which features WQXGA+ (2880×1800) resolution and is DisplayHDR True Black 500 certified, is said to deliver double the lifespan and triple the brightness of single-layer OLED displays, as well as reduced power consumption of up to 40%.
LG writes:
- “It can deliver double the lifespan and triple the brightness of a conventional single-layer OLED display, while reducing power consumption by up to 40%, making it ideal for high-performance IT devices like AI laptops as well as regular laptops.”
- “By designing the components and enhancing the structure of the 13-inch Tandem OLED panel, LG Display has been able to make it around 40% thinner and 28% lighter than existing OLED laptop screens, enabling sleek design and greater portability.”
- “The new panel combines convenience and performance with high definition. It boasts a WQXGA+ (2880×1800) high resolution and accurate color expression that meets 100% of the DCI-P3 standard color area established by the Digital Cinema Initiatives (DCI), allowing high-definition content to be presented with increased clarity.”
- “With OLED’s characteristic self-emissive pixels and infinite contrast ratio, it has also been certified as Display HDR (High Dynamic Range) True Black 500 by the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA).”
- “In addition, LG Display embedded a touch sensor inside the panel to improve touch performance and realized a highly sensitive total touch solution.”
Jae-Won Jang, Vice President and Head of the Medium Display Product Planning Division at LG Display, also provided this statement:
We will continue to strengthen the competitiveness of OLED products for IT applications and offer differentiated customer value based on distinctive strengths of Tandem OLED, such as long life, high brightness, and low power consumption.
