According to the company the panel, which also measures in at a considerable 31” (until now OLED panels have been relatively small), and is just one tenth of an inch thick.

In addition to this, LG’s panel also supports 3D playback - making it one of the first OLED devices to do so.

At present the OLED panel has no release date or pricing structure attached to it; it is primarily a prototype device.

Although a number of OLED television’s are currently available, they are incredibly expensive. LG’s EL9500 OLED television, which measures in at just 15”, is currently retailing for $2 500 (roughly R19 000).
