LG Electronics Inc said on Sunday that it will start global sales of the
2018 editions of organic light-emitting diode (OLED) TVs, which are
equipped with its Artificial Intelligence (AI) platform DeepThinQ this
week.
The South Korean tech giant said the new OLED TVs would hit
the US market on Monday and gradually expand to countries in Europe,
South America and Asia down the road, Yonhap news agency reported.
LG
Electronics said it would display the OLED TVs at some 500 branches of
US retailer Best Buy, showcasing the company's latest Alpha 9 processor
that delivers improved resolutions by optimising colour through AI
technology.
The company said the global market for OLED TVs is
expected to reach 2.5 million units this year, rising sharply from 1.6
million units in 2017.
In response to the rising demand, LG said
it plans to expand the portion of OLED TVs in its portfolio to 20 per
cent in 2018, up from last year's 15 per cent.
LG Electronics
said the OLED TVs are capable of delivering enhanced colour as each
pixel emits light without having to use backlights.
The plan
comes as Samsung Electronics Co, LG's bigger South Korean rival, employs
LCD technology that uses backlights for its premium QLED TVs.
