LG Display says that they will begin production in their 8.5-Gen plant in July, making 8,000 monthly substrates – or about 48,000 55″ OLED TV panels.

LG’s 55EM9600 is a 55″ Full-HD OLED TV featuring 100,000,000:1 contrast ratio and fast response time (1,000 times faster than LCD according to LG). The panel is only 4mm thick, and the whole TV weighs just 7.5Kg. The TV is based on LG Display’s Oxide-TFT white-OLED with color filters (RGBW) OLED panel. read more
