2As Samsung Display's QD-OLED begins to be applied to TVs and monitors in earnest in 2022, technological changes are being detected for LG Display's WRGB OLED, which has been leading the large OLED market. LG Display's WRGB OLED has produced a WBC structure consisting of two blue layers and one red+yellow green layer in Paju by the end of 2021, and a WBE structure consisting of two blue layers and one red+green+yellow green layer in Guangzhou. Deuterium substitution technology was applied to the blue of the WBE structure. Since 2022, LG Display has stopped producing WBC panels from its Paju line and has been producing ‘OLED.EX’ panels with deuterium substitution technology applied additionally to green of WBE produced in Guangzhou.

OLED Korea Conference> At SID 2022, LG Display also exhibited a large OLED panel
with micro lens array technology. Micro lens array technology was applied to
Samsung Electronics’ ‘Galaxy S Ultra’ series, and it is the first technology
applied to large OLEDs. LG Display is known to expect a 20% improvement in
luminance compared to the previous one by applying micro lens array technology.
Panels which micro lens array technology is applied are expected to be produced
in Paju from the second half of this year.
Lastly, it is known that LG Display is developing a
structure in which yellow green is removed from WRGB OLED. By eliminating
yellow green, material and processing costs can be saved, and color gamut is
expected to be improved.
Attention is paid to how LG Display's WRGB OLED will evolve
to compete against QD-OLED.
