LG Electronics has announced the world's first 21:9 aspect ratio curved Ultra HD TV (105UB9), which will be unveiled at the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas next month. The 105-inch 105UB9 is officially the largest curved TV ever made.

One advantage of the extra-wide screen is that it enables users to access viewing information on the side of the screen without blocking any of the ongoing action. It boasts an 11 million pixel (5120 x 2160) screen resolution.

In order to realise the TV's curvature, LG introduced a new technology to resolve a number of issues, such as maintaining structural integrity and delivering uniform color and brightness across such a large screen.

Until now, OLED panels were preferred for curved displays due to their ability to generate their own light. LG Display said that it overcame the challenge of uneven backlighting by refining its Thin Film Transistor (TFT) pixel circuit technology to prevent colour leakage.
