LG to Supply Plastic OLED Displays for Cadillac SUVs

/Yonhap

LG will supply flexible organic light-emitting diode displays to U.S. automaker Cadillac, the electronics company said on Thursday.

"Our latest plastic OLED displays will be featured in Cadillac's luxury Escalade SUV slated for launch in the second half of this year", a spokesman at LG said. 

OLEDs are usually fabricated on a glass substrate, but by replacing glass with flexible plastics, OLEDs can be made bendable. LG succeeded in commercializing plastic OLED displays for vehicles for the first time in the world in 2015.

The SUV will be equipped with a 38-inch dashboard along with two rear-mounted 12.6-inch displays, allowing passengers seated in the rear to watch movies and other entertainment.
