The LG 'Wallpaper TV' That's So Thin & Light You Hang It On The Wall Using Magnets

At a press event in Korea on Tuesday, electronics giant, LG has shown off an ultrathin 'wallpaper TV' less than 1mm thick, and at 1.9kg (4lbs) is so light it can be attached to the wall using just magnets. It uses a magnetic mat that sits behind it on the wall. The TV can then be stuck to a wall using the pad. To remove the display from the wall, you peel the screen off the mat. The firm hopes OLED TVs are set to explode in popularity.
They mean TVs that are much slimmer since the screen emits light itself without a backlight unit, unlike the liquid crystal display (LCD). The head of LG Display's OLED business unit, Sang-Deog Yeo, said 'OLED represents a groundbreaking technology' not only for the company, but also for the industry.'

The unveiling was part of a broader announcement by LG Display to showcase its plans for the future. The company said its display strategy will center on OLED technology - even though manufacturers have struggled to mass produce the more complex sets.

LG vowed to ramp up OLED production from the third quarter of this year to a substantial level that can meet clients’ demand, according to the Korea Times. 'We should be able to supply a satisfactory volume to our clients from July or August, which means we’re hoping to buckle down production as well as promotion from the third quarter,' Sang-Deog Yeo told reporters.

WHAT DOES OLED STAND FOR? 
OLED stands for organic light-emitting diode. Its panels are made from organic materials that emit light when electricity is applied to them. As a result, OLED panels don't use a backlight meaning they are thinner than LCD displays. OLEDs additionally have bright colours, brilliant contrasts and a wide-viewing angle.
