Seoul - Arab Today
LG Electronics (LG) recently displayed its OLED tunnel measuring a “record-breaking” 5m tall, 7.4m wide and 15m in length, at the IFA 2016 exhibition booth.
A total of 216 separate 55-inch curved OLED signage displays were assembled to create the structure comprising 447,897,600 — nearly half a billion — pixels to display a collection of “breathtaking scenes,” including Iceland’s Aurora Borealis, underwater ecosystems and deep space footage.
A video titled ‘From Black to Black’ was produced by LG to include footage that accentuated the lifelike colors and the ability to recreate the miniscule details of life, which LG’s OLED technology delivers.
The footage includes the black ocean with effervescent jellyfish and the gentle movement of whales, as well as scenes from deep black space and the northern lights on a black sky.
LG captured footage of Iceland’s Northern Lights using 14 separate 8K cameras to record every detail and movement as accurately as possible.
Other video clips such as underwater scenes and shots taken from space created a fully immersive environment for visitors, making them feel as if they were swimming in the ocean or floating in the Milky Way.
At IFA, LG showed how closely the advanced technology of OLED can recreate the great outdoors inside an exhibition hall.
The impressive scale of the display tunnel is made possible by OLED’s ultra-thin, highly flexible lightweight panels.
OLED displays can be custom bent to concave or convex formations without any picture quality distortion.
LG received a Red Dot Award in Spatial Communication for its dome-shaped OLED installations at CES 2016.
“It was 50 years ago this year that LG produced its first television and our OLED Tunnel at IFA 2016 was designed to celebrate this milestone with another milestone – the coming of OLED TV,” said Brian Kwon, president of LG Home Entertainment Company.
