Display
technology has evolved a lot over the last decade or so. The change from monochrome
CRT to color CRT and then the first LCDs took more than half a century. CRTs,
once the single most display technology, started getting replaced by LCDs at
the start of this millennium. In just a decade and a half, two different technologies
came up viz. plasma and LED and overtook LCD. Though LCD still has a
sizable market share because of its low cost of production, larger TV and
display screens are mostly made out of LED. Now it’s shifting to OLED panels,
which are known for its vibrant colors and deep blacks. Display manufacturers
like LG, Sony and others are focusing on bringing this technology to
mainstream large scale production.

“LG is revolutionizing the way commercial space is designed and used
because its pioneering slim and curved OLED technology is an iconic piece of
art itself,” said Kwon Soon-hwang, head of Information Display at the LG
Home Entertainment Company. “Our Dubai
exhibit is an example of how LG digital signage products add harmony to a space
in addition to being an innovative solution that today’s B2B customers demand.
It’s fitting that this breakthrough screen is being shown in the largest mall
in the world next to the tallest structure in the world.”
Placed above an aquarium, the curved display complements the undulations of the flowing water beneath it. The ability of Open Frame OLED to form both concave and convex curves in landscape as well as portrait modes aided the project immensely.
OLED Technology | What's special?
OLED technology is
the preferred premium tech for displays now, and it’s called the next-gen
display because of the low-power consumption and great colors. The lower power
usage is due to the fact that OLED is emissive in nature, which means that the
display has the ability to emit its own light. This eliminates the need for
back-lighting, which are often bulky and inefficient. When displaying black
color, the panel shuts off the particular pixels, which gives the deepest black
levels and insanely high contrast. The viewing angle of OLED is also better
when compared to back-lit LCD displays.
