LCD panels have enabled widescreen TVs thin and light enough to be hung on a wall such as a picture — assuming you hang your pictures with a VESA-compliant wall mount.
But LG Display has gone one step further, showing an OLED panel that can be stuck to a wall like wallpaper — assuming you hang your wallpaper with magnets.
LG Display showcased its 55-inch “wallpaper OLED panel” — or possibly the world’s biggest fridge magnet — this week at a media event in Seoul.
In comparison to LG’s present flagship 55-inch OLED TV that is 4.3 mm thick, the new panel is just 0.97mm thick and weighs 1.9kg. It is also flexible, making it easy to peel off a magnetic mat affixed to the wall.
There’s no telling when a wallpaper OLED might be headed to the walls of consumers’ houses, but the idea of a TV that sticks to a wall like a fridge magnet is sure to be “attractive” to many.
