- LG will test a new OLED production method for its television panels
- Potentially more shiny and more effective OLED TVs with less burning risk
- Likely to appear in niche sectors such as car displays
Some time ago, we reported a new type of television technician called Eleap which could solve long -term problems with the best OLED televisions – and three years since its announcement, it seems that LG could end up putting it in production.
It is known as Eleap, and it is another means of manufacturing OLED panels. When he was announced in 2022, he focused on small phone screens. But the LG screen is considering technology for much more important screens, and it means that it could be – oh yes – a giant eleap for TV technology.
Why Eleap could transform televisions
Conventional OLED panels are made with fine metal masks, which are thin metal plates with many tiny holes. These masks ensure that the organic material is deposited on the display substrate with perfect precision of pixel to ensure that each pixel lights up uniformly without overlap or poorly aligned.
Eleap does things differently. Instead of fine metal masks, he uses a lithography process to create the OLED pixels. And according to the commercial site, the ELEC, the LG screen already has the appropriate equipment to test Eleap in its OLED installation in Paja, in South Korea – and it seeks to test on panels the size of a TV. The Samsung display would also have tested technology.
This is a test, not the start of production: the LG screen and the Samsung screen can always decide not to go ahead with technology. But it has the potential to transform OLED manufacturing: EEAP’s promise is that it will offer a much better efficiency for OLED pixels, because the lighting zone is more than doubled compared to a pixel of the same size made using the technique of the final final mask.
This means that they are much more energy efficient, so you might have higher brightness without increasing energy consumption – or using less power to the same brightness. This energy efficiency also means less heat production – and heat is a key cause of Burn -in Oled, so there would be little danger of higher brightness causing a burning problem.
It is also possible that Eleap is more effective to produce, which would mean cheaper OLED panels, which can mean cheaper televisions – or, at least, mid -range OLEDs such as the LG C5 could finally become much more shiny without becoming as expensive as the Flearnrship LG G5.
However, even if the tests succeed, it will probably take a certain time before we see technology in our televisions: according to the ELEC, the case of short -term use is in “OLED niche panels, such as those from 20 to 30 inches to 30 inches or those used in vehicles”. However, the fact that LG tests it in television size panels is excellent news for its potential use in the future for better home entertainment.
