LG, by far the biggest proponent of OLED on TVs, has said that it (or more specifically, LG Display) has developed an 88-inch 8K OLED display (7,680 x 4,320 pixels) and will be showing it off at its booth at CES 2018, which starts next week at Las Vegas.
In case you’re wondering, yes, this is the world’s biggest and highest-res OLED panel to date. LG's 2017 W7 and G7 OLED TVs only top out at 77 inches, and these are just 4K TVs, not 8K. Cross-town rival Samsung does sell an 88-inch TV in the form of the Q9F QLED TV, but that too has a 4K resolution.
Of course, “developed” doesn't necessarily mean it’s ready for market or be put in TVs; and we don’t even have detailed specs of this panel at the moment. LG Display does mention that it isn’t sacrificing brightness to achieve the ultra-high resolution (33 million pixels!) thanks to OLED’s self-emissive nature. Put another way, the company is saying that any LCD-based 8K display is likely going to suffer in the image quality department (unless the backlight technology can improve enough to compensate) and be extremely thick and super heavy.
