At Display Week 2026, LG showcased its latest advancements in OLED technology, with a significant focus on its Tandem OLED and Tandem WOLED structures. This technology is being applied across a wide range of products, including laptops, automotive displays, gaming monitors, tablets, and televisions. The Tandem OLED design, which uses multiple OLED layers, is engineered to improve efficiency and brightness, leading to benefits such as a 10-20% increase in battery life for laptops and lower overall power consumption.

HDMI® Technology is the foundation for the worldwide ecosystem of HDMI-connected devices; integrated with displays, set-top boxes, laptops, audio video receivers and other product types. Because of this global usage, manufacturers, resellers, integrators and consumers must be assured that their HDMI® products work seamlessly together and deliver the best possible performance by sourcing products from licensed HDMI Adopters or authorized resellers. For HDMI Cables, consumers can look for the official HDMI® Cable Certification Labels on packaging. Innovation continues with the latest HDMI 2.2 Specification that supports higher 96Gbps bandwidth and next-gen HDMI Fixed Rate Link technology to provide optimal audio and video for a wide range of device applications. Higher resolutions and refresh rates are supported, including up to 12K@120 and 16K@60. Additionally, more high-quality options are supported, including uncompressed full chroma formats such as 8K@60/4:4:4 and 4K@240/4:4:4 at 10-bit and 12-bit color.

For the gaming market, LG presented high-performance monitors featuring impressive specifications. One display boasted a 720 Hz refresh rate with a peak brightness of 1500 nits, earning a Display of the Year award. Another gaming monitor demonstrated HDR capabilities with 4500 nits peak brightness, 165 Hz Variable Refresh Rate (VRR), and 99.5% DCI-P3 color gamut coverage, all while maintaining a low reflectance of 0.3%. The company also exhibited a 39-inch curved 5K ultra-wide monitor with a 1500 nit peak brightness, targeting immersive gaming and professional use cases.
LG’s automotive display solutions featured prominently, highlighted by an in-vehicle demonstration. The setup included a 57-inch pillar-to-pillar LCD, a 40% transparent display, and a 27-inch switchable OLED with haptic feedback. This haptic display, termed ‘shi-cap OLED’, vibrates to simulate the feel of physical controls on a smooth surface. The demonstration also included rollable displays descending from the vehicle’s ceiling, transforming the cabin into a personal theater for passengers in an autonomous driving context.
Beyond conventional displays, LG is exploring novel applications for its P-OLED (Plastic-based OLED) technology. One example was a humanoid robot face display, designed to be durable and energy-efficient, capable of operating in temperatures from -30 to +85 degrees Celsius. This flexible display can render various facial expressions, suggesting future applications in human-robot interaction.
The booth also provided insights into different OLED patterning methods. One approach removes the white sub-pixel, relying on a pure RGB structure to achieve what LG describes as infinite detail and absolute clarity with a 1000 nit peak brightness. This contrasts with the Tandem WOLED (White OLED) structure used in other displays, indicating LG’s strategy of tailoring OLED technology for specific markets, from professional content creation to premium automotive interiors.
