LG Display, the world’s leading innovator of display technologies, announced today that it has started mass production of the industry’s first 13-inch Tandem OLED panel for laptops. The company is targeting the OLED market with the higher performance and lower power consumption of Tandem OLED technology. First commercialized by LG Display in 2019, Tandem OLED’s advantages are achieved by combining two stacks of red, green, and blue (RGB) organic light emitting layers. Working together in tandem, these layers offer superior durability and performance compared to single-layer OLED panels, including a longer life span and higher brightness.
Tandem OLEDs were first applied to automotive OLEDs, which have particularly high quality standards, to disperse energy and allow them to operate more reliably for longer periods of time. They are also considered optimal for IT products that require a relatively high amount of screen time, such as laptops, monitors, and tablets. Now applied to laptops for the first time, LG Display’s new Tandem OLED panel has been tailored for laptop use. It can deliver double the lifespan and triple the brightness of a conventional single-layer OLED display, while reducing power consumption by up to 40%, making it ideal for high-performance IT devices like AI laptops as well as regular laptops.
