LG Electronics unveils curved OLED TV at 2013 CES

SEOUL, Jan 09, 2013 (Xinhua via COMTEX) -- South Korea's consumer electronics giant LG Electronics said Wednesday that it unveiled the industry' s first organic light-emitting diode (OLED) TV with curved screen at the 2013 International CES, the world's largest consumer technology trade show held in Las Vegas, the U.S. state of Nevada.


The new model named EA9800, which features the industry's very fist curved screen with full CINEMA 3D support, was introduced at the trade show in Las Vegas, according to an e-mailed statement.

The 55-inch OLED TV with curved display has an equidistant screen surface from the viewer's eyes, removing the problem of screen-edge visual distortion and detail loss. The screen features a dramatic curved design and a vivid picture quality that is practically indiscernible from colors found in nature, the company said.

The model also offers an infinite contrast ratio, which maintains optimal contrast levels regardless of ambient brightness or viewing angle, LG said, noting that it boasts a significantly reduced weight and depth as there is no need for a separate backlight for OLEDs that generate their own light. "LG is the first to launch the 55-inch OLED TV. The new curved model complements our core OLED TV family with a unique design that capitalizes on the thinness of the screen and the aesthetic beauty of OLED TV," said Havis Kwon, chief executive of LG's home entertainment division.
