[Asia Economy Reporter Jeong Hyunjin] LG Display announced on the 2nd that it will distribute 16,000 transparent safety umbrellas free of charge, which are highly effective in preventing traffic accidents on rainy roads, to ensure the safety of children.

The recipients are first and second graders from about 170 elementary schools near its business sites in Paju, Gyeonggi-do; Gumi, Gyeongsangbuk-do; and Magok and Yeouido in Seoul. LG Display plans to deliver the umbrellas sequentially according to each school's attendance schedule.

The transparent safety umbrellas prepared by LG Display are designed to secure the visibility of children using umbrellas on cloudy or rainy days and to allow drivers to identify the children's location. They are made of transparent materials and reflective substances, and to raise drivers' awareness, the umbrellas have the school zone speed limit of '30 km/h' printed on one side and are equipped with an emergency whistle.

In addition to the transparent safety umbrellas, LG Display conducts children's traffic safety education in cooperation with police stations and supports safety items such as speed limit backpack covers and reflective cards. They have also installed about 100 traffic safety zones such as yellow footprints and yellow carpets, and plan to continue operating traffic safety support programs that benefit the local community.
