After Oled slabs and Oled EX slabs, here are Oled META slabs with Micro-Lens technology (micro-lenses).
We weren’t expecting them so soon and yet the micro-lens Oled panels will be available this year. At CES 2023, LG Display unveiled its new Oled META panel which uses micro-lenses to increase the brightness of each pixel.
5177 micro-lenses on a single pixel! More than 42 billion micro-lenses on a 77-inch panel. Figures that make you dizzy.
The technology is quite incredible and difficult to imagine since each pixel of a 77-inch model is equipped with 5117 micro-lenses which redirect light in order to increase efficiency and avoid losses. On this diagonal, there are thus more than 42 billion micro-lenses. LG Display thus announces a peak brightness of 2100 cd/m² on Oled META panels, against a maximum of 1200 cd/m² for Oled EX panels with a cooling system currently used on the LG 65G2 or the Panasonic TX-65LZ1500, for example. . The Oled META 8K panel is content with 1500 cd / m² when the Oled 8K EX version caps at 1000 cd / m².

This peak of brightness should be widely visible and should make it possible to sublimate HDR content. LG Display is thus back in the race against QD-Oled panels which display more saturated colors, but a brightness peak still around 1000 cd / m². The brightness of the Oled META panel should also make it possible to display slightly more saturated colors, but we will have to wait for the first tests to get an idea and see if this panel really keeps its promises.
The OLED META panel also inherits a new anti-reflective filter called Venta Black which reduces stray light by around 30% compared to a classic OLED model. This should allow LG Display to come here also to compete with QD-Oled panels which are doing better. Viewing angles are also improved as is power consumption down 22%.

The Oled META panel will be available this year in an 8K version in 77 and 88 inches as well as on the 55, 65 and 77 inch diagonals in Ultra HD 4K. All that remains is for TV manufacturers to announce their models. The new LG Oled G3 should be equipped with this new Oled META panel, but other manufacturers such as Sony, Panasonic or Philips have not yet communicated on the subject. This Oled Meta panel will also be available in a 27-inch Quad HD and 45-inch UWQHD (3440 x 1440 px) version for PC monitor manufacturers, again with a significant gain in brightness since LG Display announces a peak of 1000 cd/m²
