Google offers $880 million to LG display for OLED investment2017-04-10 09:20 by DanielaTags: OLED, LG
Google is reportedly in talks to invest $875 million in LG Display, one of the world's most prominent producer of screens for smartphones and tablets, in attempt to get a guaranteed stable supply of flexible OLED panels for its Pixel phones. OLED has several advantages over LCD including per-pixel lighting control, much improved contrast and black levels, they are thinner, and enjoy better viewing angles.
