LG Display has developed FLiPP (FMM-Less innovative Pixel Patterning), a next-generation OLED manufacturing method that eliminates the traditional fine metal mask (FMM) process. The new technology improves brightness by 1.6 times, extends lifespan by 2.4 times, and reduces power consumption by 13% compared to conventional FMM-based panels. FLiPP achieves this through a 55% improvement in aperture ratio using photolithography instead of metal stencils. The company will unveil FLiPP at IMID 2026 in Busan from Aug. 19. Unlike FMM, which requires expensive masks and limits production flexibility, FLiPP works with 8.5th-generation mother glass as a single piece, increasing utilization efficiency by up to 64%. This advancement allows production of displays from 1 inch to 100 inches without size or resolution constraints, applicable to wearables, tablets, monitors, and AR/VR devices. LG Display has filed trademark applications for FLiPP in Korea and global markets. The technology combines with existing Tandem WOLED infrastructure and RGB OLED development.

Choi Young-seok, CTO at LG Display, described FLiPP as a 'dream technology' resulting from combining proprietary WOLED technologies. The company plans to start with IT applications like tablets and monitors before expanding to larger displays. This breakthrough strengthens LG Display's position as the world's leading display technology innovator.

Additionally, LG Display's Hyper Double Scanning (HDS) technology won the IMID 'Display of the Year Award.' HDS is currently in mass production for all OLED TV panels, helping LG Display maintain leadership in the global premium TV panel market.
