LG has announced its latest advancements with the 4th-generation OLED panel set to feature in the company’s flagship TV models for 2025. This new OLED panel presents numerous enhancements compared to the previous version, such as a notable increase in brightness, better energy efficiency, and a reduction in glare for viewers.
New Panel Design
To kick things off, LG has replaced the Micro Lens Array (MLA) layer with an innovative Primary RGB Tandem structure. This updated design organizes the light source into four stacks, consisting of two blue layers along with separate layers for red and green. This is a step up from the 3rd Gen panel, which had a single yellow layer containing the red and green elements. LG claims this new configuration enables the panel to reach a peak brightness of up to 4,000 nits in Vivid mode on a 3% window, marking a 33% increase from the previous generation’s 3,000 nits. The new panel also boasts a remarkable 40% improvement in maximum color brightness, now achieving 2,100 nits. For full screen (100% APL), it can deliver 400 nits, up from 250 nits seen in the 3rd-generation. Simultaneously, LG has reduced power usage by 20% due to the 4-stack arrangement, enhancements in diodes, and advancements in the power supply system.
Enhanced Viewing Experience
Traditionally, OLED panels are celebrated for their rich blacks and vibrant colors; however, they typically face issues with light reflections because of their shiny surfaces. To combat this, LG has introduced a new anti-reflective film that effectively blocks 99% of both internal and external light reflections, offering a clearer viewing experience without glare. Furthermore, it is said that the panel maintains its color accuracy and gamut even in well-lit environments (500 lux).
“Thanks to the ultra-low reflection technology, LG’s fourth-generation OLED TV panel successfully blocks 99% of internal and external light reflections, achieving perfect blacks similar to what you would see in a dark movie theater, even in a bright living room (500 lux),” LG Display explained.
Availability and Future Plans
The new 4th-gen OLED panel from LG will come in various sizes, including 48, 55, 65, 77, and 83 inches. The first televisions to showcase this panel will be the LG G5 series, LG M5 series, and the Panasonic Z95B lineup. Additionally, LG intends to broaden the use of its Primary RGB Tandem technology to its Gaming OLED monitor range.
LG Display’s new advancements are sure to excite fans of high-quality displays and elevate the viewing experience to a new level.
