This year, LG debuted its first third-generation OLED product at CES 2023. This is the first television to feature Zero Connect technology, which enables wireless transmission of 4K@120Hz real-time video and audio. Peak brightness has always been OLED’s main disadvantage when compared to QLED and mini LED, so LG introduced META technology in third-generation OLED products.
LG’s META technology, which uses a “Micro Lens Array (MLA)” similar to a compound eye structure, was inspired by dragonfly glasses, according to TomsHardware. This is a micron-level convex lens layer that improves energy efficiency by approximately 22% and realises the technology that OLED brightness and viewing angle surpass once more.
LG also employs its proprietary “META Booster” brightness enhancement algorithm to improve screen brightness and colour expression by analysing and adjusting the brightness of each scene in real time, all while enhancing the HDR effect.
According to LG, the third-generation 77-inch 4K OLED TV panel based on META technology has 42.4 billion microlenses in total, with approximately 5117 microlenses in each pixel, achieving a peak brightness of 2100 nits.
The new product has a 60% higher screen brightness and a 30% higher viewing angle with halved brightness than the traditional OLED display, achieving a wide viewing angle of 160°, brighter light, and deeper blacks, the most accurate colour expression, and the most vivid images to date.
LG will initially use META technology on 55-inch, 65-inch, 77-inch, and 88-inch OLED TVs, with the 88-inch being 8K resolution. LG will also use META technology on gaming monitors, according to OLED-Info, with the LG UltraGear 27GR95QE-B and ASUS ROG Swift PG27AQDM being the first products.
