LG has introduced
world’s first 8K (7680 x 4320) OLED TV at the IFA 2018 in Berlin. It features
over 33 million self-emitting pixels offering the best contrast ratio and true
blacks. LG did not reveal any details about the TV, but said that it will
continue to increase the OLED share in its premium TV portfolio and drive large
scale consumer adoption of OLED TVs. Even though 8K TV market is not big
currently, it is expected to grow to more than 5 million units by 2022.
“Despite
advancements in LCD field, OLED has been often referred to as the
“next-generation display technology” because it emits its own light,
eliminating the need for any kind of backlighting. This allows for state-of-art
TVs which redefine both the picture quality and the product design. Not only
was LG able to pioneer such technologies, but it was also able to successfully
market them,” said LG.
The 88-inch 8K LG
OLED TV will be showcased at IFA 2018 in Berlin.
