LG Display didn’t personification its accustomed grounds of flashy, breakthrough caller screens astatine this year’s CES. This resulted successful an overseas business wherever it was really Panasonic that shared nan astir specifications astir LG Display’s latest and apical OLED panel. Even earlier immoderate charismatic announcement, it was already nan centerpiece of 2025 flagships for illustration Panasonic’s Z95B and nan LG G5 from LG Electronics (not to beryllium confused pinch nan show division).
But now nan institution is caller to spill nan afloat specifications connected its caller four-layer tandem OLED design. “33 percent brighter than nan erstwhile procreation and optimized for nan AI TV era, it is nan industry’s first-ever OLED display to execute a maximum brightness arsenic precocious arsenic 4,000 nits,” LG Display wrote successful a spot merchandise that went retired tonight. The AI mention made maine rotation my eyes a bit, but there’s nary doubting that this is simply a very awesome panel.
Here’s nan rundown connected what’s truthful innovative, according to LG Display:
The caller panel’s invention centers connected a Primary RGB Tandem structure, which is LG Display’s proprietary exertion that uses independent stacks of RGB elements to nutrient light. It had antecedently utilized a three-stack ray source, pinch 2 layers of bluish elements emitting comparatively short powerfulness wavelengths alongside red, green, and yellowish elements successful a azygous layer.
The Primary RGB Tandem building applied to nan fourth-generation OLED TV expanse organizes nan ray guidelines into 4 stacks by adding 2 layers of bluish elements and independent layers of reddish and greenish elements. It improves maximum brightness by expanding nan magnitude of ray produced by each furnishings compared to nan erstwhile structure.
The latest-gen OLED show uses a four-layer building to maximize brightness — this clip without immoderate micro-lens array technology.

Of course, seeing arsenic we’re squarely successful nan OLED brightness wars, Samsung Display has its ain brighter-than-ever QD-OLED aboveground that’s going into Samsung’s S95F, which was besides announced successful Las Vegas. But whereas Samsung is going each successful connected its glare-free show finish, LG is sticking pinch a overmuch accepted glossy decorativeness — though it uses “ultra-low reflective technology” to lessen immoderate imaginable distractions.
Energy ratio has improved again pinch nan fourth-gen LG Display OLED, and nan institution says that colour brightness tin scope 2,100 nits, which is simply a 40 percent betterment compared to nan anterior version. These highest brightness numbers are what nan expanse is technically tin of, but that doesn’t needfully mean that TV makers for illustration Panasonic will needfully push it that difficult successful personification sets.
Either way, OLED keeps getting brighter and overmuch vibrant while still retaining each of its trademark strengths for illustration cleanable blacks, awesome viewing angles, and accelerated consequence times for gaming. The champion ones don’t recreation cheap, but they’re worthy redeeming up for. If you’re aft overmuch info connected nan caller panel, I impulse these awesome videos from Caleb Denison astatine Digital Trends and Vincent Teoh astatine HDTVTest.
LG Display’s rival, Samsung Display, did personification a CES showcase that my workfellow Sean Hollister caught during nan show, truthful beryllium judge to springiness that a watch arsenic well.
