Recognition for Contributions to Commercialization of Large OLED and High-Resolution LCD for Mobile Use

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Sun-mi] Yeosangdeok, an advisor at LG Display (former Chief Marketing Officer and President), has been recognized by SID (Society for Information Display) for his contributions to the commercialization of large OLED and high-resolution LCDs for mobile devices, receiving the 'David Sarnoff Industrial Achievement Award.'

On the 4th, LG Display announced this and explained that Advisor Yeo is evaluated to have contributed to the remarkable growth of the Korean OLED industry and the acceleration of the generational shift from LCD TVs to OLED TVs. The award ceremony is scheduled to be held at 'SID 2022' in San Jose, USA, starting on the 8th.

SID is the world's most prestigious display society. The award is named after David Sarnoff, chairman of RCA, who pioneered the American broadcasting industry with the introduction of color TV, and is given to individuals who have contributed to the development of the global display industry.

Advisor Yeo has been involved in the electronics and display industry for over 40 years, serving as head of LG Display's LCD Development Center, head of the TV Business Division, Chief Technology Officer (CTO), and head of the OLED Business Division. In the early 2000s, he led the enlargement of LCDs by consecutively developing the world's first 42-inch, 52-inch, and 100-inch LCDs, and also succeeded in developing ultra-high-resolution small and medium-sized LCDs optimized for smartphones.

In the late 2000s, through the development of core technologies for large OLEDs, he played an important role in LG Display's success in mass-producing the world's first 55-inch OLED TV panel in 2013.
