LG shows off a TV you can roll up like a newspaper

Other than this, LG will also display 65-inch and 77-inch UHD OLED “borderless” TVs i.e. TVs that have no border between the screen and bezel.

LCD displays work by using color filters and liquid crystals that block light to create images; while plasma screens trigger pockets of gas that create the red, green and blue phosphors to create UV light. An e-book comes into mind here, as well as that of e-paper situations. The last time LG showed off curved display technology, its prototype was only 30 cm in size and featured a 1,200 by 810 pixel resolution.

Just how thin is it anyway?

“LG Display has been sharing successful solutions with its customers by meeting the market’s requirements and demands with its differentiated technology”. Still, this is a start that will hopefully lead to bigger and better things.

LG Display has a lot to showcase at the CES 2016, not just with OLED but also with LCD.

The LG 18-inch rollable display can be rolled like a newspaper.

As we already mentioned, LG is not the only tech giant that is working on foldable displays, Sony, Samsung and Sharp already showed off prototypes similar to the one developed by the South Korean company. The company, which has built a leading position in the OLED, UHD 4K and 8K LCD sectors for years, will display the new, next-generation 8K products, which maximize the possibility of OLED panels, at the exhibition. These sorts of displays and the technology behind it isn’t exactly new, but LG are clearly edging closer to something viable for public release.

Smarter fridges and washing machines that interact with users were at the centre of LG’s press conference ahead of the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas.
