LG Electronics unveiled two OLED displays said to be the “largest OLED displays in the world”. The massive structures are displayed at the main terminal of the Incheon International Airport in South Korea.

To develop the huge structures, LG worked in collaboration with French design firm Wilmotte & Associés. Each display stands 13 meters high and eight meters wide, or the equivalent of three large sized shipping containers. The giant displays consist of 140 55-inch curved OLED panels put together.

The Korean giant conceptualised the displays to “demonstrate the capabilities of OLED technology”. The monstrous displays mounted at the award winning South Korean airport are incredibly light weight and flexible. The bow shaped OLED displays hang from the ceiling with minimum support.

“While the world’s largest OLED sign is certainly something to be proud of, we are more excited about the opportunity to introduce travelers from across the world to the magic of OLED”, said Ro Se-yong, senior vice president and head of business-to-business solutions at LG Electronics in a press release.

Organic Light-Emitting Diode (OLED) panels are made from carbon based organic materials that emit light in response to electricity. Thus, there’s no need for backlighting. OLED displays are thinner and lighter than the backlit LCD displays. It enhances brilliant colours, has a faster response rate and wider viewing angles.

“We are always eager to showcase to the millions of travelers every year the cutting-edge technology that originates from Korea. OLED is a prime example of that”, said Park Wan-su, president and CEO at Incheon International Airport.

LG is renowned for pioneering OLED TV panels. In July, the Korean electronics giant introduced the first ever Ultra HD OLED TV in Australia. The LG EG960T television is amazingly thin and sports a curved OLED display with a screen resolution of 4,096 x 2,160 pixels.
