Picture a future where every device seamlessly adapts to your ever-changing needs, streamlining your daily routines while enhancing your digital experiences. The days of relying on multiple devices throughout the day will soon be over, with products offering unprecedented multifunctionality, such as a laptop-tablet transformer great for doing work and viewing content, just around the corner.
The mass production of 17-inch Foldable OLED screens tailored for laptops opens a new era of unprecedented multifunctionality. This remarkable panel debuted at CES 2023 and was showcased at SID 2023, earning countless accolades from renowned tech media including Engadget, which praised the panel’s seamless appearance, saying how the crease was “very difficult to detect when fully extended,” and the fact “there wasn’t any kind of rippling or gap that we sometimes see with foldables.“
Let’s delve into how this innovation differentiates itself from other displays and learn how it’s capturing the imagination of the IT industry.
LG Display’s Tandem OLED levels up brightness and lifespan
The 17-inch Foldable OLED for laptops employs Tandem OLED technology, LG Display’s groundbreaking innovation that stacks two organic light-emitting layers to boost the panel’s brightness and lifespan.
Having already proven itself in the automotive and rollable spaces, Tandem OLED is now being integrated into the company’s 17-inch foldable OLED for laptops. By doing so, IT devices like laptops, tablets, and monitors are both longer lasting and more durable, for a screen that delivers exceptional brightness and elevated viewing experiences for years and years.
Maintaining the seamless look after countless folds
The second standout feature of the 17-inch Foldable OLED for laptops is its exceptionally slim design. Even after being folded and unfolded countless times, it maintains its clean, seamless appearance courtesy of its in-folding structure and minimized curvature at the folding point of 3R (radius of curvature 3mm). When fully folded, the two screens merge to create a smooth surface. Unlike other foldable displays, this device uses special materials that minimize the appearance of creases for a more pleasant user experience, while its sizeable 17-inch size, clear QHD resolution, and exceptional contrast ratio combine to deliver the most vivid and lifelike picture quality.
User-friendly screen ratios and touchscreen solutions
What makes this 17-inch Foldable OLED the master of adaption is its ability to let users adjust its folding angle, giving them the freedom to customize the screen ratio without losing out on the intuitive touch screen. When fully opened, the panel’s 4:3 ratio becomes the perfect monitor, which can also be effortlessly curved into a 3:2 ratio to resemble a 12.3-inch laptop, opening up a whole host of new usage scenarios. This panel is also equipped with high-sensitivity touchscreen solutions, enabling users to have precise control through their fingers or a stylus. Offering a natural and fluid writing experience, the 17-inch Foldable OLED even mimics the feeling of writing on paper to a point where it’s hard to tell the difference.
Building on a decade of OLED innovation, LG Display is now pushing the boundaries of IT devices like no other company can. The successful development of the 17-inch Foldable OLED for laptops marks only the beginning of its journey to creating the most innovative IT-oriented OLED solutions that transform the user experience for the better, so keep an eye out for what’s coming next!
