Bendable OLED display lets you turn regular flat screen into bent screen with just a button

Posted on by

If you’re a gamer, you understand the desire to have a screen that can give you a sense of immersion into the world you’re entering. If you’re both a gamer and an avid watcher of all things movies and TV (and music videos as well), then you’ll understand even more the joy of having a screen that can fit all of these things and can even adjust according to your desired “shape”. The arrival of flexible and bendable OLED displays like from LG Display have made this possible.

The Gaming OLED Display is a concept commissioned by LG Display to showcase what’s possible with its bendable OLED through their differentiated technology. With this tech, you can freely change the shape of the display without needing a backlight or a liquid crystal display. This particular concept uses this bendable quality and turn it into a monitor for gamers and video viewers alike. It’s 42 inches wide and with just a touch of a button, you’ll be able to turn it from a flat screen for your video viewing into a bent screen for gaming and vice versa.

If you want a more immersive quality to your game or even your viewing of your favorite movie, you can just tap a button and the screen can bend up to 1,000R. If you prefer to watch something on a flat screen, you only have to press the button to return it to its flat-panel display. It also of course brings you great resolution whatever shape you want it to be. The screen itself is mounted on a small stand that can fit on your desk and where the touch controls are located.

They also said that this has the fastest and most accurate response time when it comes to bending your screen according to your desired shape. It would be nice to have this on my desk or living room, even if I’m not really a gamer. Having the option to have a bent or flat screen is something I’d like to have when I’m watching high-quality videos. Or maybe I should also start gaming to make this make more sense.

LG Display just unveiled a set of ‘paper-thin’ speakers designed to be fitted inside cars

Posted on by

Dubbed the “Thin Actuator Sound Solution”, this latest innovation from LG hopes to usher in a new, more immersive era for car-based infotainment. The slim audio panels don’t compromise on sound quality, the company was quick to mention.

While slim speakers aren’t entirely new, this application for them definitely is. Any panel or surface capable of vibrating has the ability to be a speaker, and television and smartphone makers have tried turning displays into speakers by getting them to vibrate ever so gently, enough to create audio that can transmit from the display all the way to the wearer. LG’s Thin Actuator Sound Solution brings that technology to the insides of cars, potentially allowing display panels and other surfaces to vibrate and generate audio that fills the car’s interiors. Traditionally, speakers have occupied a fair bit of space given the voice coils, cones and magnets used in their construction – this meant building speakers into doors given their hollow design. Thanks to the Thin Actuator Sound Solution, carmakers can turn virtually any surface into a speaker, allowing for a more immersive soundscape where audio plays from the sides, back, front, and perhaps even the top of the car.

“The Thin Actuator Sound Solution comes in a passport-like size (150mm x 90mm) with a thickness of 2.5mm, equivalent to that of two coins stacked together, and a light weight of 40g, making it just 30 percent of the weight and 10 percent of the thickness of a conventional car speaker”, said LG in a press release. Working in partnership with a global audio company, LG ensured that these panels provide rich audio that doesn’t deviate from the quality that passengers have come to expect. Moreover, the speakers don’t rely on rare-earth elements like Neodymium magnets to produce audio, boosting their overall eco-friendly factor.

The Thin Actuator Sound Solution has already received the CES® 2023 Innovation Award in the ‘In-Vehicle Entertainment & Safety’ category. LG is set to debut the ‘invisible’ audio panels at CES 2023 in Las Vegas this coming year.
