LG's next-gen OLED tech is coming to laptops and monitors first, and we've got a rough timeline
LG Display is developing a new OLED manufacturing process called FLiPP to deliver bright LEDs with much higher yields and less wastage
LG Display has unveiled its next-generation OLED technology called FLiPP, which stands for FMM-Less innovative Pixel Patterning. This technique offers several advantages over conventional OLED manufacturing processes. By eliminating the need for fine metal masks, FLiPP boosts production efficiency from 75% to over 93%, reducing costs and making OLED screens more affordable.
Additionally, it improves the utilization of organic emissive materials from 40% to 74%, increases the pixel aperture ratio to 65%, enhances luminance by 1.6 times, and can either extend longevity by 2.4 times or reduce power consumption by 13%. Currently, FLiPP is primarily set to be introduced in smaller displays such as laptops and monitors rather than TVs.
LG Display's CTO, Choi Young-seok, indicates that the technology is still in its early development stages, with mass production expected to commence by late 2027, potentially making its debut at the 2028 CES. LG Display is assessing whether existing LCD and WOLED production lines can be repurposed or if new facilities are required, aiming for production to begin within a year.
