Surprise, we had to wait a long time after the CES 25 Las Vegas show closed last Friday evening, almost a week later, to have confirmation of a peak brightness of around 4,000 nits for the latest generation of Tandem [abc]Oled[/abc] [abc]RGB[/abc] panels from LG Display, which equips (among others) the LG G5 and LG M5 televisions (see our news (update) CES 25 > LG G5 Evo/M5 Evo, new Tandem Oled RGB panel (brightness +40% for 100% APL)). This officially confirms all our information published since the beginning of November (see our news (update) CES 25 > LG G5 Oled TV: target 4,000 nits; Editor's note: thanks again to our insiders...). This LG Display press release, even if it comes several days after that of Samsung Display which promises similar performances in terms of peak brightness (see our news (UPDATE) CES 25 > 4th generation QD Oled TV: peak brightness at 4,000 nits confirmed), undoubtedly augurs significant progress in terms of the image quality of Oled TVs in 2025.
The floor to LG Display££££
LG Display declares: "LG Display, the world's leading innovator in display technologies, continues to lead the way in large Oled technology by unveiling its fourth generation Oled TV panel. 33% brighter than the previous generation and optimized for the era of AI television, it is the very first Oled screen in the sector to reach a brightness of up to 4,000 nits (1 nit is the brightness produced by a candle).
LG Display continues: The innovation of the new panel is based on a tandem RGB primary structure, an LG Display proprietary technology that uses independent stacks of RGB elements to produce light. It previously used a three-stack light source, with two layers of blue elements emitting relatively short wavelengths of energy alongside red, green and yellow elements in a single layer. The tandem RGB primary structure applied to the fourth-generation Oled TV panel organizes the light source into four stacks by adding two layers of blue elements and independent layers of red and green elements. It improves peak brightness by increasing the amount of light produced by each layer compared to the previous structure.
The word to Hyeon-woo Lee, senior vp and head of the large screen division of LG Display££££
"The fourth generation Oled panel is the essence of innovation that breaks the limits of existing displays by applying LG Display's unique technologies such as Primary RGB Tandem and ultra-low reflection technology," said Hyeon-woo Lee, senior vice president and head of the large screen division at LG Display. He added: We will deliver an unprecedented customer experience as well as superior image quality and user-friendly technology while strengthening our leadership in Oled technology."
