SamsungとLG Display、OLEDで「今年のディスプレイ賞」を受賞

韓国Samsung Displayと韓国LG Displayは、世界最大ディスプレイ学界である情報ディスプレイ学界(SID)で、OLED技術力を認められたと18日に発表した。

 

SIDが授与する「今年のディスプレイ産業賞(DIA、Display Industry Awards)」には、Samsung DisplayのQuad-EdgeフレキシブルOLEDが、「今年のディスプレイ(Display of the Year)」にはLG Displayの65型UHD壁紙OLED TVパネルが選ばれた。

 

SIDは、前年に発売された製品の中から、グローバルディスプレイ産業の未来を輝かせると期待される革新的なディスプレイ製品、部品、応用製品を選定し、賞を授与する。

SIDによると、Galaxy S7 Edgeに搭載されたSamsung DisplayのQuad-EdgeフレキシブルOLEDは、業界では初めてディスプレイの上下左右全ての面に曲面の形を取り入れ、優れた技術力を示し、今年のディスプレイ産業賞を受賞した。.

 

この製品は、BM(Black Matrix)領域を最小化する設計技術を生かし、以前の製品よりベゼルの厚さを0.2mm削減、上下の端(曲率半径25R)を微細に変化することで、緩やかな曲線の形を完成した。また、審美性と握り心地の良さを実現するために、パネルの左右端に4段階の曲率(曲率半径35R→9.4R→5.4R→3.8R)を採用した。

 

今回の受賞について、Samsung Displayチョン・ソクジンマーケティングチーム長(常務)は、「Samsung Displayは、フレキシブルOLED製造に向けた最先端技術を基に、市場で独自の製品を提供してきた。 Quad-EdgeフレキシブルOLEDの開発で、引き続きディスプレイ市場をリードすることができて嬉しい」と述べた。

今年のディスプレイに選ばれたLG Displayの65型UHD壁紙OLEDパネルは、OLED技術を生かし、優れた高画質を実現した上で、更に応用範囲とデザイン面でもディスプレイの新しい可能性を開いた革新的な製品として高く評価された。

 

このパネルを採用したOLED TVは、CES 2017以外にも米Engadget、英CNETなど、世界的に有名なメディアからも、既に数多くの賞を受賞しており、先日の16日には米国消費者専門メディアであるConsumer Reportsから、歴代最高点の89点(TV評価)を記録したことがある。

 

65型UHD壁紙OLED TVに採用したOLEDパネルの厚さは1 mm にもならず、TV用セットとして製造した場合にも厚さ3.55mm、重量7.4kgしかならないため、額縁のように壁に密着できる。また、デザインの効果を最大化し、TV視聴時の没入感を高める。

 

LG Display研究所長ユン・スヨン常務は「LG Displayは、自社ならではの特徴的な製品、技術、主要力量を強化しながら、消費者の方々に新しい価値を提供してきた。今後も世界ディスプレイ産業を代表する企業として、次世代技術の発展に最善を尽くして貢献する」と語った。

During the SID 2016, not only Samsung Display and LG Display, but other companies including BOE, Japan Display (JDI), and Tianma also presented OLED. The extent of OLED by Korea, China, and Japan drew much attention.

In SID 2016 (22-27 May), these companies exhibited many new OLED panels for diverse devices such as smartphone, VR, and TV.

Samsung Display revealed rollable panel, diverse 5 inch level OLED panel products such as VR panel with 806 ppi, the highest value within the industry, and Bio Blue, a VR panel which minimized harmful blue light.

LG Display showed 77 inch UHD OLED panel for TV, 55 inch dual side panel for signage, 65 inch concave OLED, and demonstrated their strength as the leader in large size OLED panel.

CTO of  JDI , Hiroyuki Ohshima, estimated that the display will evolve to flexible and human friendly, and emphasized that LCD is not suitable for flexible

During his keynote session in SID 2016 (22-27 May), Ohshima discussed the future of display. He explained that the display will evolve to System Integrated Display that combines different technologies and toward flexible.

Display is expected to become more interactive with human body. Beyond touching the screen with fingers, biological signals will be recognized such as heartbeat, eye gaze, fingerprint, and palm print. Through these, display will evolve into an input device that moves deeper into people’s lives.

For these to become a reality, Ohshima explained that diverse technologies such as touch, recognition, security, health care function, pen input need to be applied to the display. He stressed that display is heading toward flexible and noted LCD’s limitation regarding this issue.

Ohshima told the attendees that as LCD requires backlight and glass substrate is used, it is not suitable to actualize flexible panel. For OLED, it is expected to move forward to flexible and foldable exceeding ultra-thin and curved. However, he added that OLED still has several issues that need to solved including not being able to follow LCD in terms of pixel density.

As a keynote speaker for SID 2016, Samsung Display ’s Executive VP and Chief of Research Center, Dr. Sung-Chul Kim explained that display will expand human life experiences through application to automotive, window, mirror, etc. and emphasized that AMOLED will become a key solution for this.

During his keynote session in SID 2016, Kim explained display related technological issues and AMOLED’s advantages. In particular, he highlighted AMOLED’s characteristics suitable for flexible.

Displays that can turn from a wall or window into an information display simultaneously require flexibility and hardness. Kim also explained curved display is suitable for automotive uses. In terms of mirror display, AMOLED is suitable as superior color gamut is required.

Kim added that for realistic image required by VR (virtual reality) and others requires ‘driving tech’. He explained that foldable, rollable, deformable, and stretchable displays will produce more attractive devices, and provide new experiences through VR, automotive, digital signage, etc.

Kim told the attendees that display is a window to communicate with the world and expands lives. He emphasized that AMOLED is the key solution for future display, and will bring more opportunities than expected.
