The LG SIGNATURE OLED TV R is the world's first roll-type organic EL TV equipped with a gimmick that automatically rolls up a 65-inch organic EL panel and stores it in a pedestal. When activated, the screen rises from within the pedestal, and when retracted, the screen gently slides back into the pedestal.
The machine was announced at the ``CES 2019'' exhibition held in the United States in 2019, exhibited at the LG booth at ``CES 2020'' in 2020, and will be on sale to the general public in South Korea in October 2020. (Complete build-to-order manufacturing). LG's "SIGNATURE" series is the flagship series of the company's products, and it is said that it is named especially for premium products. It will be a high price of 9.19 million yen.
In addition, the features and specifications of the product can be found in the news at the time of the announcement, "The panel is rolled up and stored in the pedestal, LG's innovative organic EL TV" and the news at the time of release, "Korea LG, the screen is rolled up and stored."

"LG SIGNATURE OLED TV R" is said to be able to use more space, such as in front of the window or near the kitchen, by displaying the screen only when necessary. Due to the high price of about 9 million yen and the fact that it was still in a prototype state, it was forbidden to touch the product or take pictures from the back, but the back had long and narrow parts about 1 cm long like a bellows. It is said that a thin flexible organic EL panel with a thickness of several millimeters is placed on top of the bellows. Of course, the panel is bent when it is stored in the pedestal, but when the screen is on, even if you look close, you can't see any traces of bending on the screen, just like a normal organic EL TV. It was an impression that I could watch without.
According to the person in charge of LG, the number of units sold is not disclosed because it has not been long since the release. However, there are many inquiries, and it is said that there are many people who want to put it in the reception desk of the company for business use or in the reception room. The release in Japan is an undecided product, but I would like to expect that there will be a place where you can see the actual machine somewhere.
