Yoon Soo-young, Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of LG Display

[Asia Economy Reporter Jeong Hyunjin] Yoon Sooyoung, Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of LG Display, stated on the 25th that organic light-emitting diode (OLED) will become a core technology due to the acceleration of the digital transformation (DX) era based on the 4th Industrial Revolution caused by COVID-19.

At the 21st International Meeting on Information Display (IMID 2021) held at COEX in Samseong-dong, Seoul, Yoon CTO delivered a keynote speech titled "New Opportunities for the Display Industry in the Digital Transformation Era," saying, "The acceleration of the DX era based on the 4th Industrial Revolution, driven by the normalization of non-face-to-face daily life and the spread of remote culture due to COVID-19, is presenting new opportunities for the display industry."

Yoon CTO emphasized, "The acceleration of DX will not only revitalize the existing display market but also expand the role of displays through convergence with other industries and the emergence of new applications. OLED, which is advantageous in performance and design, will establish itself as a core technology."

Regarding the technological direction of displays, Yoon CTO said, "We will promote technological innovation to expand OLED beyond the existing TV, IT, and mobile markets into new markets such as architecture, transportation, and furniture, while accelerating R&D innovation by utilizing DX technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and big data."

IMID is the largest display academic conference in Korea, where about 2,000 authorities in the field of information display participate both online and offline every year to present research results and engage in academic exchange.
