LG Display unveils FLiPP, achieving dream next-generation OLED
The new process raises brightness 1.6 times, extends lifespan 2.4 times and cuts power use 13%, LG Display said.
- On Wednesday, August 19, 2026, LG Display unveiled FLiPP at the International Meeting on Information Display 2026 in Busan, introducing a breakthrough OLED manufacturing process that eliminates conventional fine metal mask technology.
- Conventional FMM processes require expensive metal plates that sag under their own weight, causing misalignment and color-mixing defects, prompting LG Display to develop FLiPP using photolithography to pattern RGB pixels without metal masks.
- Compared to standard FMM panels, FLiPP increases brightness 1.6 times, extends lifespan 2.4 times, and reduces power consumption by 13%. LG Display CTO Choi Young-seok called the process a 'dream technology.'
- The manufacturing process boosts mother-glass utilization by up to 64 percent, making LG Display the first company to produce FMM-less OLEDs using 8.5th-generation mother glass as a single whole piece.
- At the same event, LG Display's Hyper Double Scanning technology won the IMID 'Display of the Year Award,' while Samsung Display showcased its own foldable 7.6-inch and 20-inch stretchable display innovations.
