50 years ago today, LG made its first television, which was a remarkable breakthrough, and today 50 years from then it made another breakthrough at the IFA 2016 in Berlin by making an OLED tunnel. What is an OLED tunnel you might ask? Well, it is a tunnel created by stacking up many OLED TV Screens next to each other creating a tunnel that’s great to view. LG used 14 separate 8k cameras to capture the true images of the Iceland’s Aurora Borealis. LG also captured deep space and black ocean with effervescent jelly fish footage. LG wants to show that its new OLED advanced TV technology can recreate the outdoors pixel by pixel.

The impressive scale of the display tunnel is made possible by OLED’s ultra-thin, highly flexible lightweight panels. OLED displays can be custom bent to concave or convex formations without any picture quality distortion, allowing for spectacular digital installations such as immersive tunnel-like environments. Each OLED pixel can switch itself on and off, eliminating the need for backlighting. OLED TVs have the ability to render true black and infinite contrast ratio that delivers vibrant, eye-popping color and wide viewing angles.

The awe-inspiring and immersive OLED Tunnel measures a record-breaking 5m tall, 7.4m wide and 15m in length. A total of 216 separate 55-inch curved OLED signage displays were assembled to create the unique structure comprising 447,897,600 – nearly half a billion – pixels to display a collection of breathtaking scenes including Iceland’s Aurora Borealis, underwater ecosystems and deep space footage.
