At the IFA tech tradeshow currently underway in Berlin, LG is showing a razor thin OLED TV with a 15-inch screen. This is much smaller than the average TV, but larger than Sony’s 11-inch model. Called “The Object,” the TV display is only 0.1 inches thick and weighs 11 ounces.

An OLED display differs from traditional LCDs by not requiring a backlight to function. It also consumes less power while being operated. OLED technology is also easier to manufacture than LCDs and plasma displays.
