Although both fall short of the 77-inch flexible TV on show at CES, the company says the new panels prove that it has the technology to bring rollable TVs with screens in excess of 50 inches to market in the future.</p> <div style="width: 529px; height: 392px; " class="article_img"><a href="/web/20140712040102/http://www.gizmag.com/lg-display-oled-transparent-flexible/32904/pictures#2" target="_blank"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20140712040102im_/http://images.gizmag.com/inline/lg-display-oled-1.jpg" width="529" alt="LG Display's 18-in rollable OLED panel boasts 1,200 x 810 pixel resolution"/></a></div> <p>Unlike the aforementioned 77-inch flexible TV that has a fairly limited range of changeable curvature, LG Display's latest flexible OLED panel boasts a curvature radius of 30R. This means the 18-inch panel can be rolled up into a cylinder with a radius of 3 cm (1.18 in) without the function of the 1,200 x 810 pixel display being affected.</p> <p>The company says this impressive flexibility was achieved by using a "high molecular substance-based polyimide film" as the backplane rather than conventional plastic. This polyimide film also allowed the thickness of the panel to be reduced, further improving the panel's flexibility.</p> <div style="width: 530px; height: 361px; " class="article_img"><a href="/web/20140712040102/http://www.gizmag.com/lg-display-oled-transparent-flexible/32904/pictures#3" target="_blank"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20140712040102im_/http://images.gizmag.com/inline/lg-display-oled-2.jpg" width="530" alt="LG Display's transparent OLED panel boasts transmittance of 30 percent"/></a></div> <p>The transparent OLED panel, on the other hand, was created using LG Display's transparent pixel design technology. With transmittance of 30 percent, the company says the panel is superior to existing transparent LCD panels that generally achieve around 10 percent transmittance (although rival Samsung unveiled a <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140712040102/http://www.gizmag.com/samsungs-transparent-lcd-display/18283/" target="_blank">transparent color LCD panel</a> in 2011 boasting transmittance of over 15 percent). LG Display claims to have also reduced the haze of the panel, caused by circuit devices and film components, to just 2 percent.</p> <p>"LG Display pioneered the OLED TV market and is now leading the next-generation applied OLED technology," says In-Byung Kang, Senior Vice President and Head of the R&D; Center at LG Display. "We are confident that by 2017, we will successfully develop an Ultra HD flexible and transparent OLED panel of more than 60 inches, which will have transmittance of more than 40 percent and a curvature radius of 100R, thereby leading the future display market."</p> <p>Source: <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140712040102/http://www.lgdisplay.com/" target="_blank">LG Display</a></p> <!-- INTEL BANNER --> <div id="sharethis_container" style="margin: 20px 0"> <span class="st_twitter_large" displaytext="Tweet" st_via="gizmag"></span> <span class="st_facebook_large" displaytext="Facebook"></span> <span class="st_googleplus_large" displaytext="Google +"></span> <span class="st_linkedin_large" displaytext="LinkedIn"></span> <span class="st_pinterest_large" displaytext="Pinterest"></span> </div> <!-- stumbleupon_recommended --> <!-- FM Content Well Zone Zone --> <div id="fm-well-zone" data-cb-ad-id="Content Well 1"> <script type="text/javascript" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20140712040102js_/http://static.fmpub.net/zone/7980"></script> </div> <div id="bottom_unit" data-cb-ad-id="Content Well 2"></div> <!-- Outbrain --> <div style="margin-bottom: 20px"> <div class="OUTBRAIN" data-src="https://web.archive.org/web/20140712040102oe_/http://www.gizmag.com/lg-display-oled-transparent-flexible/32904/" data-widget-id="AR_1" data-ob-template="Gizmag"></div> <script type="text/javascript" async="async" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20140712040102js_/http://widgets.outbrain.com/outbrain.js"></script> </div> </div> <!-- Polls --> <span class="title clear_left" id="author_byline_title">About the Author</span> <div class="dotsontop" id="authorcontainer"> <!-- Bio Pic --> <a href="/web/20140712040102/http://www.gizmag.com/author/darren-quick/"> <img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20140712040102im_/http://images.gizmag.com/author_profiles/34.jpg" alt="Darren Quick" id="bio_pic"/> </a> <!-- Bio Text --> <!-- <a href="/author/darren-quick/">Darren Quick</a><br/> --> Darren's love of technology started in primary school with a Nintendo Game &amp; Watch Donkey Kong (still functioning) and a Commodore VIC 20 computer (not still functioning). In high school he upgraded to a 286 PC, and he's been following Moore's law ever since. This love of technology continued through a number of university courses and crappy jobs until 2008, when his interests found a home at Gizmag. &nbsp; <a href="/web/20140712040102/http://www.gizmag.com/author/darren-quick/">All articles by Darren Quick</a> <span id="author_byline_links"> <!-- RSS Link --> <!-- <span class="bootbtn" id="rss-author-button"> <a></a> </span> --> </span> <br class="clear_both"> </div> <!-- Tags --> <div id="tags"> <span class="title">Tags</span> <div class="dotsontop"> <ul> <li>&raquo;&nbsp;<a href="/web/20140712040102/http://www.gizmag.com/tag/display/" rel="tag">Display</a></li> <li>&raquo;&nbsp;<a href="/web/20140712040102/http://www.gizmag.com/tag/flexible/" rel="tag">Flexible</a></li> <li>&raquo;&nbsp;<a href="/web/20140712040102/http://www.gizmag.com/tag/lg/" rel="tag">LG</a></li> <li>&raquo;&nbsp;<a href="/web/20140712040102/http://www.gizmag.com/tag/oled/" rel="tag">OLED</a></li> </ul> <div class="clear_both"></div> </div> </div> <div id="bing_unit"><!-- bing_unit --></div> <!-- Comments --> <span class="title" id="comments">6 Comments</span> <div class="dotsontop"> <div id="comment-323011" class="a_comment"> <p>I'm not sure why we need to have flexible screens.

You would have a closed package that is compact enough to fit in as a phone and provide a useful small scale screen that can be unrolled or unfolded, etc. to expand the screen to tablet size. The software would detect the action, adjust display size &amp; function and then rescale again as the user collapsed the device back to it's phone format. </p> <span class="name">StWils</span><br> <span class="date"> 10th July, 2014 @ 10:04 am PDT</span> </div> <div id="comment-323047" class="a_comment"> <p>Can this be used in motorcycle helmets and glasses? </p> <span class="name">Paul Anthony</span><br> <span class="date"> 10th July, 2014 @ 10:05 am PDT</span> </div> <div id="comment-323083" class="a_comment"> <p>@windykites1 - How about a blood pressure cuff that has a digital readout directly on the cuff?

Any sort of wearable digital device that has to either be removable or adjust to different size wearers. How about a digital tatoo that can be altered at any time? </p> <p></p> <p>These also look extremely light weight.
