LGD First Supplies Transparent OLED for China Subway Windows

Expansion of Supply to Major City Subways Starting with Beijing and Shenzhen

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyewon] LG Display announced on the 21st that it has recently become the world's first to supply transparent OLEDs for windows inside subway cars in Beijing and Shenzhen, China.

Transparent OLEDs maximize transmittance as they do not require backlighting due to the self-luminous characteristics of OLEDs, attracting interest from mobility customers such as autonomous vehicles, aircraft, and subways, as well as various fields including smart homes and smart buildings.

The 55-inch transparent OLEDs installed in subway cars on Beijing Line 6 and Shenzhen Line 10 provide passengers with real-time information on train operation and location, subway transfers, real-time flight information, as well as lifestyle information services such as weather forecasts and news.

Starting with this supply, LG Display plans to expand the supply of transparent OLEDs to major regional subways by collaborating with railway companies and glass manufacturers for trains.

According to the global consulting firm Prescient & Strategic Intelligence, the transparent display market is expected to reach $4.933 billion (approximately 6 trillion KRW) in 2024, with a high average annual growth rate of 46%.

Oh Chang-ho, Vice President and Head of LG Display's TV Business Division, said, "The applications of transparent displays will become more diverse," adding, "LG Display will supply products needed across various industries to become the best display solution company."
