A new 42-inch panel is coming this year
LG Display
LG Display has provided some details on the OLED panels itll be shipping to TV manufacturers this year. The lineup includes a 42-inch panel, the smallest TV-sized OLED yet from LG Display, as well as a new 83-inch panel size that likely features in the Bravia lineup that Sony unveiled a few days ago.
That means that OLED TVs this year will be available in sizes of 42, 48, 55, 65, 77, 83, and 88 inches. LG Display says its also shipping a next-generation 77-inch panel thats said to be around 20 percent more efficient and therefore capable of higher brightness than before, which has been a relative disadvantage of OLED TVs to date.
LG Display is a components manufacturer and doesnt release consumer products itself, so its unclear whos actually going to put a 42-inch TV on sale this year. The larger LG Electronics company is yet to fully unveil its 2021 range of OLED TVs, but according to a report in Yonhap, itll be using OLED evo branding for the new panels in its 2021 G1 series.
LG Display has already made news at this years virtual CES, announcing a Smart Bed concept with a transparent OLED panel that rises out of the foot, along with a 48-inch flexible panel that can shift from a flatscreen TV into a curved gaming monitor.
