With the rapid growth of streaming services in recent years, more people are becoming home theater enthusiasts. This means demand for home theater equipment has been rising too, including for premium displays that can deliver high-resolution content. 4th-generation OLED is what you need to create the most immersive home theater experience. As they say, the brighter the better, the more the better, and the bigger the better. LG Display’s OLED is getting better with every addition as it evolves from one generation to another. Let’s take a closer look!
The brighter the better: OLED hits industry-leading brightness of 4,000 nits
Have you ever watched a movie with a lot of dark scenes, such as a fantasy or horror film, and found it difficult to make out the main character’s face or the background? To make a movie look as vivid as natural vision via your own eyes, it’s important to maximize the contrast ratio, which allows light and dark to be accurately distinguished. LG Display’s 4th-generation OLED delivers an industry-leading maximum brightness of 4,000 nits. Additionally, thanks to OLED’s key feature of self-emissive pixels, where each one independently controls its own light without a backlight, bright areas are even brighter and the contrast with dark areas is more distinct. As a result, content that relies on a high contrast ratio can be enjoyed more vividly in your living room just like in a movie theater, whether it is a scene featuring lighting in a cave or the sudden appearance of monsters in a dark space.
Most displays are likely to be harder to view properly in very bright environments. But LG Display’s 4th-generation OLED has been certified by global organizations such as UL Solutions and Intertek for maintaining perfect picture quality – including perfect black, vivid color, and 100% color fidelity – even in bright lighting conditions reaching 500 lux, which is about the level of a living room in the middle of the day. With 4th-generation OLED, you can experience colors without distortion, whether you are watching in bright daylight or under artificial lighting, allowing you to enjoy content exactly as intended by its creator.
The more the better: greater light, richer colors
The performance of a display is fundamentally determined by how RGB (Red, Green, Blue) light-emitting elements are implemented. In LG Display’s 3rd generation OLEDs, the light sources for colors were structured in three layers: two blue and one yellow-green. The yellow-green layer was used to express both red and green, but this approach limited light intensity. In contrast, LG Display’s 4th-generation OLED comes with the company’s proprietary technology, Primary RGB Tandem, which uses a four-layer stack with two blue layers and independent red and green layers. By adding an extra layer and increasing the amount of light produced, peak brightness has been boosted by 33% compared with the previous generation to reach 4,000 nits. With those red, green, and blue light sources separated into individual layers, color brightness has also been improved to 2,100 nits, getting up to 40% higher than the previous generation as 4th-generation OLED delivers much sharper and purer colors than before.
The bigger the better: larger screens offer greater immersion
The saying “the bigger the better” is indeed true when it comes to displays. With the growing trend of enjoying various content conveniently at home today, the 4th-generation OLED now comes in ultra-large sizes that fill the entire wall, maximizing immersion. We are now in an era where you can have a truly premium home theater experience right in your living room with even bigger and brighter screens from LG Display’s 4th-generation OLED!
