LG OLED EX
Out with the OLED, in with the OLED EX. LG debuted at CES 2022 the evolution of its leading screen technology—OLED EX—which promises to increase brightness by up to 30%, resolving one of the major shortcomings of past OLED panels. Moreover, the updated panel technology is said to improve picture accuracy and allow for smaller display bezels.
While the fundamental technology is the same—consisting of millions of individual self-lit pixels—EX introduces a pair of changes: the use of an isotope called deuterium and the integration of algorithmic image processing. Along with the visual enhancements it brings, EX will apparently allow LG to reduce the bezel size on 65-inch TVs from six millimeters down to four.
LG will start the year by outfitting its G2 flagship and mainstream C2 TVs with OLED Evo, the current tech, before bringing EX to every OLED TV manufactured at two of its manufacturing locations starting in the second quarter of next year. —Phillip Tracy
