LG Display Preps Massive 111-Inch OLED TV Panels

Breaking through the 97-inch ceiling

Home theater enthusiasts shopping for a giant OLED have faced a hard stop at 97 inches. That size ceiling is finally about to crack.

According to market research firm TrendForce, via FlatpanelsHD, LG Display and partner Guangzhou Development Zone Holding Group are investing an additional 1 billion yuan to modernize production lines. The upgrade focuses on large-scale OLED module assembly spanning 77-inch, 83-inch, 97-inch, and brand-new 111-inch OLED displays.

A 111-inch screen represents the largest consumer-oriented OLED panel produced to date, providing a direct answer to ultra-large mini-LED screens that have dominated the 100-inch-plus conversation.

The tech lag holding giant OLEDs back

Screen size is only half the battle; panel architecture is the other. Even in the 2026 flagship LG G6 lineup, the 97-inch model has not kept pace with smaller variants.

While 55-inch through 83-inch sets enjoy LG's Primary RGB Tandem 2.0 tech—mirroring the wider industry trend toward stacked emissive layers seen on portable gear like the Apple touchscreen MacBook Pro—the 97-inch edition still runs on non-tandem panel hardware tracing back to the 2022 LG G2 generation. As a result, the largest set lacks the peak brightness and color precision found on its smaller siblings.

This manufacturing upgrade could finally modernize the production pipeline, letting next-gen panels over 90 inches leverage modern emissive stacks. That shift is critical if LG hopes to fend off aggressive competition from rival display tech.

Mini-LED pressure and the price hurdle

The real hurdle for jumbo OLEDs remains pricing. LG currently lists its 97-inch model at $19,999 (down from an original $24,999) or £15,999 in the UK.

Meanwhile, high-performance 98-inch mini-LED TVs from brands like Hisense retail around $3,999. Those sets deliver blinding peak highlights at a fraction of the cost. Unless LG Display uses this new production run to sharply cut manufacturing waste and bring down bill-of-materials costs, a 111-inch OLED will remain a showcase piece reserved for luxury installations rather than typical living rooms.

Availability and pricing

Commercial launch dates and consumer pricing for the 111-inch panels have not been announced. The manufacturing upgrades are underway, with initial commercial sets expected to target luxury home theater installers in the US, UK, and European markets first.

Given that existing 97-inch sets still hover around $19,999 in the US and £15,999 in the UK, expect finished 111-inch televisions to launch well above that mark before improved yields eventually bring prices down.

Pushing past 100 inches proves LG Display is not ceding the giant screen segment to back-lit rivals. The true test will be whether this factory revamp makes supersized OLED panels brighter and significantly cheaper to produce.
