LG Electronics Wins 4 Main Awards at Japan's Top Design Competition

[Asia Economy Reporter Ki-min Lee] LG Electronics announced on the 11th that four of its products, including its newly released monitors, won the main prize at Japan's most prestigious 'Good Design Award 2020.'

Established in 1957, the Good Design Award is the most prestigious design competition hosted by the Japan Institute of Design Promotion (JIDPO) and is recognized as a leading global design award alongside the iF Design Award, Red Dot Award, and IDEA (International Design Excellence Award).

LG Electronics explained that the designs of the products awarded the Good Design Award this time were highly evaluated for recognizing not only the product itself but also the installation space and user convenience.

First, the LG Ultra HD 360 Monitor applies a multi-joint design reminiscent of a robotic arm. The screen position can be freely adjusted, offering excellent space utilization and helping users work in a more comfortable posture.

For the MicroLED signage LG Magnite and LED signage LG LED Block, the Cableless concept was applied. This design allows the cabinets (the basic units of LED signage embedded with LED elements) to communicate wirelessly with each other. Without the need for separate wired connections between cabinets, a large screen can be created simply by connecting them like Lego blocks, resulting in a clean appearance and easy installation.

The commercial projector LG ProBeam delivers 4K UHD (3840 x 2160) quality on a screen up to 300 inches (approximately 7.62 meters diagonally). Users can select and adjust 12 points on the screen border to enlarge or reduce the image, and the lens can be adjusted up, down, left, and right, allowing users to customize the screen as desired.

The LG V60 ThinQ 5G smartphone, released by LG Electronics in Japan, also received the main prize for its usability with a dual screen that utilizes two displays.

Chang-ho Noh, Executive Vice President and Head of LG Electronics Design Management Center, said, “We will continuously discover designs that enhance product usability and value based on understanding our customers and pursue truly differentiated designs from the customer's perspective.”
