LG Display unveils FLiPP OLED process promising brighter, longer-lasting, size-flexible screens

LG Display has revealed a novel OLED manufacturing approach called FLiPP (FMM-Less innovative Pixel Patterning). By discarding the fine metal mask and employing photolithography with UV light to remove excess material, the method positions RGB pixels directly. The company claims FLiPP-based panels achieve 1.6-fold higher brightness, 2.4-fold longer lifespan, and 13 % lower power consumption compared with conventional OLEDs.

Because the process is not limited by panel size or resolution, it could be used for a wide range of displays, from VR/AR headsets to very large televisions. Initial applications will focus on IT devices such as tablets and monitors, with future expansion to 1-inch wearables and ultra-large screens. Production timelines and market availability have not been disclosed.
