With its 4mm paper slim design and light 10kg weight utilising carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) and WRGB technology,LG’s OLED TV boasts four-color pixels and a color eefiner, for the most consistent, natural and accurate picture.
LG’s four-colour pixel technology relies on a white sub-pixel to perfect the color output. This innovative WRGB technology sets LG’s OLED TV apart from conventional three-color RGB systems.
The CFRP that LG utilises for the casing is a superior, high-quality material more commonly found in race cars and aircraft. The design of the TV ultimately aims to maximize the total immersion of the viewer, hence the minimised bezel. Likewise, the harmony of technology and design fits well with virtually any interior décor.
