The 'wallpaper TV' so thin and light you can hang it on the wall using MAGNETS:
Screen is less than 1mm thick and weighs as much as a laptop
-LG's 55-inch screen is less than 1mm thick, and weighs 1.9kg (4lbs)
-Instead of a cumbersome mount, it is simply placed on wall using magnets
-Display is a prototype but LG is hoping the technology will become popular
At a press event in Korea on Tuesday, it showed off the system. It uses a magnetic mat that sits behind it on the wall.
HOW THE TV IS MOUNTED TO WALL
Thanks to a magnetic mat that sits behind it on the wall, the TV can be stuck to a wall. To remove the display from the wall, you peel the screen off the mat. LG Display used high molecular substance-based polyimide film as the backplane of the flexible panel instead of conventional plastic to achieve the maximum curvature radius. The polyimide film also helped reduce the thickness of the panel to significantly improve its flexibility.As for the transparent OLED panel, it boasts 30 percent transmittance, which was achieved by adopting the company’s transparent pixel design technology.
The TV can then be stuck to a wall using the pad. To remove the display from the wall, you peel the screen off the mat.
The firm hopes OLED TVs are set to explode in popularity. They mean TVs that are much slimmer since the screen emits light itself without a backlight unit, unlike the liquid crystal display (LCD). The head of LG Display's OLED business unit, Sang-Deog Yeo, said 'OLED represents a groundbreaking technology' not only for the company, but also for the industry.' The unveiling was part of a broader announcement by LG Display to showcase its plans for the future. The company said its display strategy will center on OLED technology - even though manufacturers have struggled to mass produce the more complex sets. LG vowed to ramp up OLED production from the third quarter of this year to a substantial level that can meet clients’ demand, according to the Korea Times.
