Less than 1mm thick 'Wallpaper TV'

Mounting a flat screen TV on the wall can be expensive and time consuming - and makes it very hard to redesign your room.However, LG believes it has a solution.


The electronics giant has shown off an ultrathin 'wallpaper TV' less than 1mm thick, and at 1.9kg so light it can be attached to the wall with magnets.

LG Display said the OLED TV is at the moment just a concept.

At a press event in Korea on Tuesday, it showed off the system.

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 that 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.
