LG Display may have found a way to boost the brightness of OLED TVs by another 20 per cent, according to a report by Korean outlet The Elec (via flatpanelshd).
By applying a micro lens – a thin transparent layer containing thousands of tiny lenses – to an existing OLED panel, LG Displays reckons it can optimise each and every light path, increasing brightness to around 1200 nits.
"LG Display is known to expect a 20% improvement in OLED luminance by applying a micro lens. Under the premise that the product lifespan is the same, if the OLED luminance increases, power consumption can be saved at the same luminance," reads a translated version of the report.
The project is said to have reached an "advanced" stage, which supposedly means that micro lens panels could be introduced at the start of 2023. The tech is expected to appear on LG's top-of-the-range 'OLED.EX' panels initially, boosting brightness from 1000 nits to 1200 nits .
