At this year's digital CES 2021 event, LG Display will showcase the world's first 48-inch bendable OLED display. The company claims this 48-inch screen has dual-use, you can turn it into a flat screen for watching TV and use it as a 1000R curved screen while playing video games. The panel features CSO (Crystal Sound OLED) so it also has integrated speakers. There is a 0.6mm thick film exciter underneath the OLED panel, which basically turns the entire panel into a speaker.
The 48-inch Bendable CSO display utilizes OLED’s advantages as its paper-thin screen bends and unfolds with a curvature radius of up to 1,000R, meaning that it can be made to bend up to a radius of 1,000mm without affecting the function of the display. It can therefore be turned into a flat screen while watching TV and used as a curved screen while gaming. The curved display offers a uniform viewing distance from the middle of the screen to its edge, maximizing the visual immersion that is popular among gamers.
LG Display says the panel has a 0.1ms response time and supports 40Hz to 120Hz variable refresh rate. Other specifications like the screen's resolution are unknown.
