LG Electronics announced that together with Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) it will develop microLED powered flight simulators.
The two companies already demonstrated a concept model, as you can see above, that uses a large 4.2 x 1.35 meter curved microLED display.
LG Electronics has been offering PCB-powered microLED tiled large area display solutions for several years, supporting several possible pixel pitches, including 0.68, 0.78, 0.94 and 1.25 mm - and also 1.5 mm pixel pitch, for larger displays. Its latest display was released in September 2023: a 118-inch 4K 120Hz LG MAGNIT (0.6 mm pixel pitch), targeting residential applications. The price tag was $237,000.
LG Electronics has recently teamed up with LG Display to co-develop LTPS based microLED displays, and yesterday LG Electronics announced the first MAGNIT Active MicroLED display - a 136" 144Hz 4K TV.
Last year LG Electronics announced a strategic plan to focus on its Business Solutions division, and for its commercial and signage displays, it will focus on premium fine-pitch LED displays, which include its microLED MAGNIT models.
Indeed LG says that "MAGNIT Micro LED display will be at the forefront of this expansion". The company reveals that its annual MAGNIT sales grew almost 2X since introducing them in 2020 (though sales are still likely very low).
