LG OLED prototype as thin as wallpaper 

How would you like a TV so thin you can peel it off like wallpaper? LG’s latest TV concept with 
organic light-emitting diode (OLED) technology shows us the possibility. The 55-inch OLED 
display is a mere 0.97mm thick and weighs 1.9kg. It can be stuck on a wall using a magnetic 
mat that you can peel off like wallpaper. Of course, it probably got to this size because the 
circuitry needed to make a TV work isn’t integrated yet. Also keeping the weight and thickness 
down is OLED technology because without the need for backlights, it can make TVs even 
lighter. 
 
However, OLED is pretty tricky to produce, thus resulting in exorbitant prices. But it would 
seem LG doesn’t want to give up on the technology just yet.
