IMAGINE You Can Roll Up Your Television And Take It With You On The Go! LG Says This Could Be A Reality By 2017.

South Korea based LG Electronics has unveiled two new 18-inch OLED panels — one that's rollable and another that's transparent. According to LG, the flexible OLED panel has a high-definition class resolution of 1,200 by 810. It can be rolled up to a radius of 3 centimeters without affecting the function of the display.

LG says it used "high molecular substance-based polyimide film" as the backplane of the panel instead of traditional plastic which makes it so flexible. The polyimide film helped reduce the thickness of the panel to "significantly improve its flexibility."


As for the transparent panel (pictured below), it boasts of the company's 'Transparent Pixel design Technology' which refers to the amount of light that can pass through the screen. That's far better than the usual 10 percent transmittance of existing transparent LCD panels, meaning you'll be able to see objects behind the screen more clearly.

However, with LG other electronic giants such as Samsung and Apple have been already working towards developing flexible smartphone/tablet display panels. With LG's latest displays offering, we should get to see the curved OLED displays in major retail stores across the globe, all is set to officially launch by 2017.
