The company that makes all of the big OLED panels used in television today is LG Display. They include a huge chair with a rotating OLED TV attached, an exercise bike with a massive curved screen, and a bunch of transparent displays. You kind of have to see to believe now.

Most of these aren't real products but they do show what kinds of things we could see in the near future. In a normal year I'd be at the company's private CES booth in Las Vegas to see this gear in person but it's not a normal year so I'm here at home. LG Display also doesn't have a physical presence at the show so these images are as close as we can get for now.

My favorite concept product is something LG Display calls the Media Chair but I call it the Throne of Awesome. This thing has a 55-inch curved OLED TV attached to a chair that reclines and looks damn cool doing it. The TV is a distance of about 1.5 meters roughly 5 feet from the face of the viewer in the chair which LGD says is the optimal viewing distance.

One of the coolest things this display can rotate from vertical or portrait mode into landscape mode thanks to a built-in motor there's also an LCD touch screen on the side to control what you're watching. Although I'd love to have one of these things at home, LG Display says a more practical use would be in something like a first class airport lounge.

They're currently working with a Korean massage chair company to design something similar. Next up is basically a Peloton on steroids LG Display calls this the Virtual Ride as you can see the idea is to surround a stationary bike with a big screen in front and above to create a sense of immersion there's three 55-inch curved OLED screens oriented vertically and stacked one on top of one another.

They can be programmed to show a ride through a forest or a city street or pretty much anywhere a display can track speed heart rate and other vitals. Once again, there's a small LCD touch screen on the side to control everything now LG Display pitched this to me as better than conventional VR for example because you don't have to wear goggles but that's a stretch with home exercise equipment becoming even more sophisticated.

However, it's only a matter of time before something like this goes on sale. The rest of LG Display's concepts center around transparent OLED. This technology is more suited to commercial uses and indeed the company says it's already being used in malls in Korea and China as well as museums and exhibition spaces like the Smithsonian in Washington DC and 180 The Strand in London.

The latest version of transparent OLED can achieve 40 transparency which as you can see is plenty to reveal whatever's behind the screen. In something LGD calls the OLED Shelf, a pair of 55-inch panels hang down from well a shelf. The images like a waterfall a painting or a clock with the weather are transparent enough to show the wall behind another version of transparent OLED.

Can be turned into a shopping display where merchandise like these perfume bottles combines with advertising art seen from the side. The display almost disappears and this wood panel is a slick touch. A larger version combines four transparent OLED TVs into a window size display seen here to show off jeans and t-shirts of all things.

None of LG Display's transparent OLED seems suited to the home although last year the company did show a bed with a transparent TV attached I'm a bit bummed that I can't see any of these concept products in person this year at LG Display's booth maybe next year I'll get the chance to sit in that huge chair reporting from my basement at Virtual CES 2022.
