LG Display holds digital art exhibition in London

South Korea’s LG Display Co. is holding a digital art exhibition in London for works created on its organic light-emitting diode (OLED) panels, the company said on Thursday.

The one-week exhibition, called “Luminous,” displays five digital art pieces by postgraduate students of the Royal College of Art (RCA) in London.

It opened at the Old Street Gallery in the heart of London on Wednesday and will finish on Oct. 4. The event is aimed at promoting the innovative and high-resolution OLED displays and supporting next-generation media artists.

The works on display were created on self-luminous OLED panels, instead of canvases.

RCA’s students led all the processes from planning the event to creating and displaying the art pieces.

Among them is “Invisible Reinvention" made with four 55-inch curved OLED panels attached to one another. It describes the three-dimensional vivid images of microorganisms’ movement examined under a microscope.

“Time-flux” uses four transparent OLED panels arranged in a row to imply the changing time.

OLED panels display the colors chosen by the artists without distortion. The panels are emerging as optimal digital art canvases thanks to their curved form factors, LG said.
