LG Electronics Selected as 'Excellent Supplier' by French Renault for Vehicle Displays

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyewon] LG Electronics has been selected as the Supplier of the Year by the global automotive group Renault, headquartered in France.

LG Electronics announced on the 10th that it was chosen as an excellent supplier in the Innovation category for automotive displays at the recent Renault Supplier Awards held online. LG Electronics was also selected as an excellent supplier by the Renault Group in 2014 and 2017.

Since 2006, the Renault Group has annually selected and awarded outstanding suppliers with high contributions among global suppliers in five categories: Quality & Customer Satisfaction, Innovation, Purchasing Sustainability, Design, and Best Service to Manufacturing.

The Renault Group praised the innovation of the 9.3-inch automotive Central Information Display (CID) supplied by LG Electronics. This product was developed using LG Electronics’ proprietary technology that fully bonds the screen and touch panel, resulting in excellent readability, visibility, and design completeness.

The CID is a screen located between the driver’s seat and the passenger seat, providing various information including audio, video, and automotive navigation to vehicle occupants. Therefore, high visibility and ease of use are important. Recently, curved display technology has also been applied to enhance the vehicle’s interior effect.

LG Electronics supplies CID products to many vehicles sold globally by the Renault Group, including the electric vehicle Zoe, Clio, Captur, and Arkana (domestically launched as XM3).

Renault Group CEO Luca de Meo said, "The innovation of the 9.3-inch display supplied by LG Electronics is a breakthrough for B-segment vehicles and the best achievement accomplished through challenging tasks," adding, "LG Electronics is one of the top innovative companies."

Kim Jinyong, Vice President and Head of LG Electronics’ Vehicle Component Solutions (VS) Business Division, said, "This award is the result of trust built through collaboration with our customers from early development to technology verification," and added, "We will strengthen our position as an innovation partner that realizes customer value in the automotive parts sector."
