LG 'working on' a 60-inch 4K flexible display
LG is banking that big bendy screens will be the future of home entertainment and it has the Korean government's backing.
According to DDaily, a Korean website, LG has been given a cool $55 million to develop its screen technology â€" a deal that it won over its rival Samsung.
The cash injection means that LG is busy creating 3840 x 2160 flexible screens in a number of sizes â€" with the biggest being 60-inches.
Screen digest
The displays' specs are set to be 3840 x 2160 â€" which is UHDTV standard â€" and they will be 40 per cent transparent.
When it comes to flexibility, they will apparently have a 10cm radius of curvature.
LG has already dabbled in flexible displays â€" most of these were concepts and created when LG and Philips were best buddies back in 2007 â€" so it does make sense that the company would want to go big on the technology.
Given it is still prepping the release of its 55-inch OLED TVs, though, it's unlikely we will see this technology come to market anytime soon.
