First impressions from SID Displayweek 2024
The display industry's premier event, Displayweek, is over. We will now collect our notes, thoughts, photos and images and will share it all in the coming days. In the meantime, we'd like to detail some initial impressions.
Generally speaking, it seems as if the display industry is going through a phase of relatively little innovation, especially with the mature LCD and OLED industry segments. While it has been a very busy week, and attendance at the event seems high, the number of actual demonstrations and prototypes was not stellar and compared to previous years, the booths were smaller and some companies skipped the event this year or preferred to only show their latest displays in private settings. Some thoughts we have:
New OLED gadget: Cubot X90
LG Display developed a 10,000 nits OLED microdisplay
LG Display developed a new OLED microdisplay (OLEDoS) that achieves a brightness of 10,000 nits. This development is presented at SID DisplayWeek 2024.
To achieve this high brightness, LG Display's research team used newly-developed high performance OLED materials, and also used a micro lens array (MLA) to expand the light output from the device.
New OLED gadget: Vivo X100s / X100s Pro / X100 Ultra
Vivo's X100 smartphone family include 3 phones, all with LTPO AMOLED displays. The X100S and X100s Pro both use a 6.78" 120Hz 3000 nits (peak) 1260x2800 LTPO AMOLED displays. The X100S Ultra offers a similar display but with higher resolution of 1440x3200 (517 PPI).
The X100 smartphones will ship soon, starting at around $580 for the X100s.
LG Electronics to discontinue its 65" rollable OLED TV, after 5 years of slow sales
In early 2019, LG launched the world's first rollable OLED device - a TV that rolls into its base. The 65" Signature OLED TV R had three viewing options - full view, line view and zero view, and was heralded as a radical new TV form factor. The OLED TV R had a high price tag (around $100,000) and obviously never attracted a large customer base.
LG Electronics now decided to stop selling the TV, and not release a new edition. It actually disbanded its small dedicated production line, and will now focus on other high-end premium TVs instead, such as the transparent Signature OLED T TV.
