LG Display Reveals Flexible OLED 'Virtual Ride' and 'Media Chair' Concept Products

From PC Mag: LG Display is bringing two flexible OLED concept products to CES 2022 next month, but decided not to wait for the show to reveal what they actually are.

The first is called the Media Chair, which you can see in the image above. LG Display describes it as a "modern relaxation device," which integrates a curved 55-inch OLED display with a recliner to form an entertainment pod of sorts.

The screen curvature has a radius of 1,500R and Cinematic Sound OLED (CSO) technology is built-in. The curved display vibrates to produce audio without need of external speakers. A button on the recliner arm allows the user to switch the OLED panel between vertical and horizontal orientations, which should allow comfortable movie viewing as well as easy web and social media scrolling.

The second concept product is called the Virtual Ride, and it's LG Display's futuristic take on an indoor stationary bicycle. Three OLED panels are joined together to create one large, curved, r-shaped display, which the rider can view both in front and above their seated position. The company believes the Virtual Ride "takes home exercise to a whole new immersive level, greatly improving the mood and ambiance in whatever room of your home you put it in."
