In December 2021, LG Display unveiled its OLED.EX (Evolution and eXperience) technology, that are based on deuterium-enhanced compounds to increase brightness by up to 30%. The company now announced that it has completed upgrading all of its WOLED TV production lines (in Korea and China) to EX technology, and all new panels will use the new materials.

LG Display says to develop the OLED.EX technology, it has converted the hydrogen elements present in organic light emitting elements into stable deuterium. LGD extracts the deuterium compounds from water, and after stabilization, the compounds allow the OLED devices to be brighter - and also last longer.

LG Display demonstrated a new 97" OLED.EX panel, that features the company's Cinematic Sound OLED (CSO, which was once Crystal Sound OLED) technology which turns the whole panel into a high-end speaker.

LG launched its OLED.EX technology in December 2021. These WOLED panels combine new deuterium compounds and personalized algorithms to improve the image quality and increase brightness by up to 30%. EX is an acronym of Evolution and eXperience.

Last year LG Display unveiled its latest OLED TV technology, branded as OLED EX, which uses a deuterium-based blue emitter materials, that enabled that LG to increase brightness by up to 30%. These panels are now adopted in LG's higher-end OLED TV panels.

According to a report from Korea, the deuterium-based blue emitters were supplied to LGD by DuPont. But the company has also been working its affiliate LG Chem to develop the capabilities to produce a similar deuterium emitter, and now LG Chem is starting to supply some of these materials to LGD.

The physical properties of Deuterium and Deuterium Labeled Compounds can exhibit significant kinetic isotope effects and other physical and chemical property differences from the hydrogen analogs. This fact will be used in different applications of Deuterium.

LG Display says that it has "successfully converted the hydrogen elements present in organic light emitting elements into stable deuterium". LGD extracts the deuterium compounds from water, and after stabilization, the compounds allow the OLED devices to be brighter - and also last longer.

US-based stable isotopes and compound producer Cambridge Isotope Laboratories announced that it is expanding its deuterated benzene capacity at the company's production plant in Xenia, Ohio.

CIL says its Xenia expansion will increase its deuterated benzene capacity six times. Bromobenzene-d5 is used in the production of OLED displays (among other uses) and CIL reports that it was increased demand for this material which initiated the capacity expansion project and investment.
