Imagine a display that can roll up just like a newspaper! LG can do it!
LG recently unveiled two 18-inch OLED panels — one that’s rollable and another that’s transparent. This means televisions using this type of technology can be easily hidden on home and office walls.
LG states that the flexible panel has a high-definition class resolution of 1,200×810 with almost 1 million megapixels. And the panel can be rolled up to a radius of 3 centimeters without affecting the function of the display.

The company also said it has significantly lowered the amount of haze in the panel.
“LG Display pioneered the OLED TV market and is now leading the next-generation applied OLED technology,” In-Byung Kang, LG Display’s senior vice president and head of the R&D Center, said in a statement. “We are confident that by 2017, we will successfully develop an Ultra HD flexible and transparent OLED panel of more than 60 inches, which will have transmittance of more than 40 percent and a curvature radius of 100R, thereby leading the future display market.”
