Tell me, how long ago did you say “wow” when you were shown any technical novelty? Can't remember? :) Then we definitely have something to show you.
Four millimeters of thickness, the basis of carbon fiber, which is used in the coolest supercars, the response speed, unattainable for classic TVs based on LCD matrices, absolutely transparent stand and transparent forty-watt speakers. Intriguing? Today we want to tell you about one of the most amazing TVs that we have produced at the moment - a 55 ”OLED TV with a curved screen. LG 55EA980V, if not the seventh wonder of the world, then certainly weighty proof of the skill of our engineers. Combining an interesting design, amazingly juicy and bright picture, a slight bend that allows you to achieve full immersion in what is happening on the screen, and a crystal clear black color, the TV remains as simple and convenient in everyday use as the usual SmartTV from LG.
Technology
In the fifty-five inch display used OLED-matrix. Instead of separate illumination, light filters and controlled LCD shutters, which stand in the “classic” LCD TVs, there are 8,294,400 microscopic organic LEDs installed, which themselves are also sources of light (each of the sub-pixels forming one of the image points glows independently ), and the sources of color (just one point has four subpixels - red, green, blue and white) is the given technology WRGB (after the first letters of subpixels: white, red, green, blue). ')
At Habré, it’s not a secret to anyone what advantages OLED technology has on the background of conventional IPS / TN / VA displays. Awesome response speed, 100% black color (which is the absence of radiation, since all subpixels in the black areas are simply turned off and do not emit photons), excellent color rendition (thanks to the WRBG sub-pixel system) and picture clarity. OLED-matrix in our TVs practically do not change the displayed colors when changing the viewing angle, have the highest contrast indicators, consume less electricity (and, consequently, emit less heat, which for a long time was a significant obstacle to creating OLED-TV) and easily allow 120 -hertz sweep needed for comfortable viewing of high-definition 3D movies with a double frame rate.
For audio transmission, we developed special thin-film speakers: 20 watts of radiated power, a completely transparent design and good (for their size) characteristics.
History of creation
Creating LG 55EA980V, engineers took inspiration from modern architecture, the bends laid by nature, in simple and natural forms that are available to us every day.
The degree of curvature of the display was calculated taking into account the human physiology and reduces the burden on the eyes (when viewed from the correct distance, of course), improve the perception of what is happening on the screen and just listen to the enthusiastic “wow” every time you come to visit. ;)

Younger brother
This model will soon have a “younger brother”, a TV with the index 55EA880. Its main difference is the built-in sound system 2.1 and the absence of a stand: it will only be mounted on the wall, through a 100-mm VESA-bracket.
Perspectives
We decided not to stop there. At the moment, our engineers are working in two directions at once: the first is to obtain OLED matrices with a larger diagonal suitable for mass production, which, in turn, will enable us to produce both larger diagonal models and lower the 55-inch production cost models; the second direction is the OLED-matrix with a resolution of 4k2k (3840x2160). Of course, the 4k2k format is only in its infancy, and the content in this resolution - the cat wept, but we will be fully armed when the ultra-high-definition video steps out of the showrooms, showrooms and engineering samples in our homes.
