This week, LG will unveil the first 55-inch OLED television - a technology that offers razor-thin screens, sharper colours and faster-moving screens than any previous television.
Organic LED - OLED - is used widely in high-end smartphones such as Samsung's Galaxy S2, but up until now, manufacturing large screens using the technology has been too expensive.
The set is just 4mm thick and weighs 7.5kg. It will launch at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this week.
Organic LED - OLED - is used widely in smartphones such as Samsung's Galaxy S2, but up until now, manufacturing large screens using the technology has been too expensive for any technology company
The television updates 1,000 times faster than current LED sets.
LG claims to have cracked a new manufacturing process that makes the set far cheaper to produce - although the company has still not said how much the TV will cost.
The set has four colours of pixel, rather than the usual three, which makes for high-contrast, sharp images with realistic colours.
‘We have a product which not only delivers on all the advantages of OLED over LCD but at a significantly lower cost,’ said Havis Kwon,CEO of LG Electronics. ‘OLED is clearly the future of home TV entertainment.’

Earlier OLED sets - Sony and others have already unveiled smaller sets - tended to have colours that changed depending on what angle viewers looked at the set from.
The new set has an infinite contrast ratio, and the speed - 1,000 times faster than LED sets - ensures it can show extremely fast-moving scenes without motion blur.
