In the monitor area, LG will launch a 31.5″ 5120 x 2880 LCD with 99.5% Adobe RGB coverage and a deep green filter (105.2% of NTSC). The panel has an oxide backplane, 1,500:1 contrast and brightness of 350 cd/m2. It uses the UV alignment and 8 bit colour is supported along with FRC for extra bits and will ship from July.
The Art Slim technique is being applied to IT monitor designs as well as TVs and the Neo Blade I concept allows thin (7.5mm) panels and a 12% drop in weight as well as edges on three sides of just 3.5mm for a borderless look.
LG told us that its current curved monitor panels has a radius of 3800 mm, but in the future the firm wants to halve this to 1,900 mm.
A 15.6″ UltraHD notebook display with M+ subpixels was being shown in contrast to a “pentile” configuration. Power was reduced from 7.18W to 6.08W.
