LG Display announces two new solutions OLED
to be presented soon at CES 2022, which will take place in Las Vegas if sanitary conditions permit.
The “Virtual Ride”, an indoor stationary bike and the “Media Chair”, a wheelchair with a curved screen, are the two innovations offered by LG.
An innovative integrated entertainment center
Already known for its many innovative solutions, LG has always had more than one trick up its sleeve. The tech giant had previously released flexible OLED panels like the OLED R model, a flat screen rolled up in a box that deploys with the push of a button.
As part of the next CES, the first innovation proposed by the brand is the “Media Chair”. This takes the form of a comfortable and, above all, reclining armchair. The latter is attached to a 55-inch curved OLED TV screen, which has a curvature radius of 1500R.
The Media Chair features LG Display’s Cinematic Sound OLED technology which, thanks to a vibrating screen, generates sound without external speakers. The display of this technological gem switches between landscape orientations and carried via a button located on the armrest of the chair.
OLED technology for stationary bikes
It is sometimes difficult for cycling enthusiasts to be able to enjoy nature, especially in the event of home confinement for example. LG is innovating to overcome this problem by offering immersive exercise bikes.
The company therefore designed the “Virtual Ride”, a stationary bicycle equipped with three flexible 55-inch vertical OLED screens, placed to form a single curved and continuous screen. This gives the user a global perspective, notably thanks to the tallest panel which, according to LG, has the largest radius of curvature to date, 500R.
Like most of the innovative solutions presented at CES, these two new technological advances represent above all a showcase for the world leader in OLED screens, since their chances of commercialization are minimal.
