LG Display developed the world's largest flexible and transparent OLED panels, on the way to make 60" UHD FT-OLED TVs

Back in 2012, LG Display was awarded a project by the Korean government to develop 60" UHD flexible and transparent panels by 2017. Later in February 2014, LGD said it is still on target for this project, and that it will show 17" flexible panel prototypes by the end of 2014.

True to its word, today the company announced that it has developed 18" rollable OLEDs and also 18" transparent OLEDs. LG says that it has acquired the fundamental technologies required to lead the large-size flexible and transparent display market. These are the largest flexible and transparent OLEDs ever unveiled!

The flexible OLED features a resolution of 1200x810 (80 PPI), and a curvature radius of 30R. It can be rolled up to a radius of 3 cm without hurting the display. As you can see in the photos, this is quite rollable. The OLED was deposited on a "high molecular substance-based polyimide film" backplane.
