Here's the first 'dream OLED'

LG Display has just unveiled the first "dream OLED" with blue PHOLED alongside other new display prototypes.

As announced earlier this month, LG Display has become the first display maker to design a production-ready OLED with the significantly more efficient phosphorescent blue OLED (PHOLED), as opposed to fluorescent blue used in all OLED displays today. The red and green OLEDs have already transitioned to phosphorescence.

At SID Display Week 2025 this week, the company is showing off this new technology to the public for the first time ever; a 13-inch "dream OLED" intended for IT devices such as tablets and laptops.

- "With significantly greater luminous efficiency than all OLED generations to date, blue phosphorescent OLED is the result of LG Display’s implementation of a newly developed hybrid two-stack Tandem OLED structure," said LG Display. "By featuring blue phosphorescence in the upper stack of this structure, the IT panel exhibited at SID Display Week 2025 consumes about 15% less power than existing OLED panels."

You can see the new display in this video around the 1:07 mark. LG Display's other new panels showcased at SID are also included in the video.
