In the CES 2021 event, LG announced next-generation EVO OLED technology, LG Gram laptops, the most exciting LG Rollable phone, Bendable OLED Displays & many more.
LG Rollable phone
At the start & the end of LG’s press conference, LG showed/teased the LG rollable phone. The device is being held in landscape orientation and with a motorized mechanism, we can clearly see the top of the screen retracting back into a normal smartphone. Actually, the screen expanded to use as a tablet & retracts to use as a normal smartphone.
In Nikkei Asian Review LG spokesperson Ken Hong told: “Our management wanted to show that it is a real product, as there were many rumors around the LG rollable phone,”. He added “As it is released at CES 2021, I can tell that it will be launched this year.” So it is clear that this LG rollable phone will be an innovation by LG this year, like the LG Wing in the previous year.

LG Bendable OLED Display
We have already seen many curved displays by Samsung, LG, Sony, etc. But this is something new. LG has introduced a prototype of bendable OLED display mostly for gaming purpose, that curves on demand. LG Bendable OLED Display is 48-inch and bendable to a 1000R radius. this bendable panel is flicker-free, boasts virtually instantaneous response times, and supports variable refresh rates up to 120Hz. You will be amazed but this display is just 0.02 inches thick. And for producing sound, LG Bendable OLED Display uses LG’s Cinematic Sound to produce audio by vibrating the display itself.
LG PuriCare
LG PuriCare is a lineup of Air purifiers. This is a range of Air Purifiers designed for home use, corporate or wide area uses & for personal use also. It has high-performance filters along with sensor-controlled fans. This PuriCare series also included a mask, where the air-purifier is embedded, which’s really interesting.
LG Side-by-Side Refrigerator
In the CES 2021 LG introduced their Side-by-Side Refrigerator, which has a Instaview display, that can be used to see inside of the refrigerator from the outside, the internals are made up of stainless steel & it has the LG’s Craft Ice feature in it which is really aesthethic.
Conclusion
LG is doing a great job and this is just the beginning I will be covering most of the big companies during CES 2021, stay tuned for that. Thanks for Reading.
