LG Display has introduced FLiPP, a new OLED manufacturing method that removes the need for fine metal masks during pixel patterning, improving efficiency, brightness and long‑term durability.
LG Display will showcase the technology at IMID 2026 in Busan starting this week. According to LG, FLiPP increases pixel aperture ratio by around 55%, enabling up to 60% higher peak brightness, a 140% increase in panel lifespan and a 13% reduction in power consumption compared to traditional FMM production.
Traditional fine metal masks can introduce colour mixing defects due to sagging on larger substrates. FLiPP instead uses photolithography and UV etching to apply RGB pixels directly to full 8.5‑generation mother glass, improving utilisation efficiency by up to 64% while lowering production costs across a wide range of panel sizes.
Beyond FLiPP, LG Display also confirmed that its Hyper Double Scanning (HDS) panel‑driving technology won the IMID Display of the Year Award and is already used across its mass‑produced OLED TV lineup.
KitGuru Says: OLED pricing has already fallen significantly in recent years, particularly for TVs and gaming monitors. FLiPP looks like another step toward improving manufacturing efficiency and panel performance rather than a sudden turning point for consumer pricing.
