At CES 2024, LG Display showcased transparent OLED displays of various sizes and gaming monitors with a frequency of 480 Hz. Another of the most interesting exhibits at the company’s stand was LG Display’s advanced TV OLED panels with META 2.0 technology. This may seem like another promotion, but it turns out that the company has actually managed to significantly improve OLED technology, increasing the maximum brightness of the display by almost one and a half times.

META 2.0 technology improves on technologies introduced last year. It offers advanced microlens arrays called Micro Lens Array Plus (MLA+). These are micrometer-sized lenses with a “dragonfly eye” design that expands the viewing angle of OLED displays up to 160 degrees. LG claims that the 77-inch OLED panel with 4K resolution will have 42.2 billion lenses. According to LG Display, these lenses, along with new algorithms, make OLED panels 42% brighter than previous generation models. LG Display claims that OLED displays with META 2.0 technology can reach peak brightness of 3000cd/m2².

The combination of MLA+ with the new brightness optimization algorithm increases both peak and color brightness, allowing for more detailed analysis of the scene. New generation OLED displays can reach color brightness up to 1500 cd/m2² – 114% brighter than traditional OLEDs. The new detail enhancement algorithm also displays very bright and very dark areas more accurately. Additionally, the manufacturer claims that the new technology saves energy. https://www.youtube.com/embed/TnaR-Km-cWk

LG Display’s 83-inch introductory 4K META 2.0 OLED display will be joined in the near future by 8K OLED panels with diagonals of up to 88 inches, as well as 55, 65 and 77-inch options. They will appear on consumer TVs, monitors and other devices to compete with the latest and brightest MicroLED displays.
