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.

LG reveals a new type of OLED panel that should be both brighter and more efficient — here's how it works
LG Display announced a new "dream OLED" production method that is supposed to improve brightness, lifespan and efficiency. LG has produced its OLED panels using a fine metal mask (FMM) process that evaporates OLED materials through tiny holes in metal plates. That method is costly and isn't flexible depending on the scale of the panel. The new FLiPP method deposits RGB pixels without using the FMM plates. "Compared with panels produced using FMM…
