  • IFA 2017: Skyworth and Metz expand OLED line-ups with Wallpaper TVs on glass

    So, LG is no longer the only one to offer a stick it on the wall 'paper thin' OLED TVs, as at this year's IFA, Skyworth, and its German subsidiary Metz expanded their OLED TV lineups by showcasing the latest addition. Skyworth's version is called the W8, and it follows the firm's S9-I and S9D at IFA 2016, and the launch of Wallpaper this year. The W8 OLED TV is characterized by its split- and folding-type design. Both TVs incorporate the OLED screen, at a thin 3.65mm. The screen is attached to a toughened glass rear panel that is fastened to the wall, creating a perfect ultra-thin visual effect. Chips, acoustics and other components are integrated into the Smart Bar under the screen, so is the JBL audio system designed especially for Skyworth. The Metz has 'a host machine' which houses all of the operative components. The two parts are connected via a thin wire, which is fully hidden from view inside the wall of the home to create an invisible effect, with the TV set, in all appearances, looking like a mural that is suspended on the wall.

    Like all OLED TV makers it gets its panels from LG Display, a subsidiary of LG. Skyworth also owns the German brand and manufacturer Metz, the luxury TV maker also makes/assembles OLED TVs in Germany.

    Metz also showcased its Novum OLED TV and Android smart TVs.

    In addition to Skyworth's large-size OLED exhibits, the company also debuted the 5.2" flexible AMOLED screen created by Guangzhou New Vision Opto-Electronic Technology, a Skyworth subsidiary. It is the first flexible full-color AMOLED display made in China. The 5.2" 0.01mm-thick screen weighs less than 1 gram and is able to display images and videos even when curved and folded. The product represents a breakthrough in the country's flexible AMOLED display sector and deploys the most advanced flexible display technology in China. The diversity of possible applications for flexible display is huge, opening up opportunities for Skyworth's flexible AMOLED display in smartphones, smartwatches, auto dashboards and TVs, and placing the firm in the position of leading the charge in the transformation of display technology from flat to flexible.
