- LG Display has announced the performance of the “marketing level” of a blue phosphorescent oled panel
- The new panel is a fluorescent / phosphorescent hybrid design which consumes approximately 15% less power than typical OLED displays
- The new technology will be demonstrated in a “small medium size panel which can be applied to computer devices such as smartphones and tablets”
The Korean manufacturer LG Display announced today that it has successfully verified the performance of the “marketing level” of the blue phosphorescent panels.
The announcement comes eight months after LG Display joined forces with the technology company Oled Universal Display Corporation on the development of blue phosphorescence, a next step necessary to create a “Dream OLED” display.
According to the release of LG Display, the company was able to make the production of technological mass production by using a “hybrid structure with two tandem necklaces, with blue fluorescence in the lower battery and blue phosphorescence in the upper battery.” This approach differs from previous OLED display panels, which use a blue fluorescent layer associated with red and green phosphorescent layers.
The problem with the use of a fluorescent layer in OLED panels is that it only provides 25% light efficiency compared to a phosphorescent layer, which offers 100% light efficiency. The hybrid approach of LG Display changes things in “the combination of fluorescence stability with the lowest energy consumption of phosphorescence”. In doing so, it “consumes approximately 15% less power while maintaining a level of stability similar to existing OLED panels”, according to the company.
LG plans to demonstrate its Blue Phosphorescent OLED panel with two -step tandem technology at Sid Display Week, an event that begins on May 11, 2025 in San Jose, California.
Did OLED Dream television finally arrive?
Although LG Display’s announcement is intriguing, the Blue Phosphorescent OLED panel, it plans to display Sid Display Week will present the technology in “a small and medium -sized panel that can be applied to computer devices such as smartphones and tablets”.
This means that the current iteration of technology, while mass production ready for production (LG Display says that it has “completed the marketing verification with UDC”) remains in prototype form and is not ready for introduction into larger screens such as the best OLED TV.
We followed the news on Blue Pholed, a term used for the phosphorescent layer in OLED screens, for a certain time, and previously reported on LG screens having “successfully developed an OLED panel based on blue phosphorescence”.
The news of today goes further in certification than a similar OLED display panel is ready for grande hours, but this version uses a hybrid approach that does not yet meet the complete expectations of the light effectiveness of a “Dream OLED”.
Meanwhile, the LG Display Oled Display Oled display panel, a design that was not based on blue, hybrid or other phosphorescent technology, but rather uses red, green and blue separate elements to improve the purity of colors and stimulate brightness, can be found in the impressive new LG C5 OLED, one of the best TVs 2025.
We expect this panel to remain at the forefront of OLED televisions for a while, while the new tandem structure in two -stage tandem with blue phosphorescence is developing for devices such as phones and tablets.
