NHK's latest 8K display is large, thin and beautiful
Japanese public broadcaster NHK has developed a prototype 8K screen that's large, thin and shows an amazing picture.
The screen is made up of four 65-inch, 4K OLED panels joined together to make a monster 130-inch display. They panels were produced by LG Display and are just 1 millimeter (.4 inch) thick. They've been placed on a backboard to give the entire display a bit more strength and that has doubled the thickness to just 2mm.
NHK worked with Japan's Astro Design to turn the LG panels into a working television. It's being fed with uncompressed 8K video resulting in an amazing image and turning heads at this week's Ceatec electronics show near Tokyo.
