[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Pyeonghwa] LG Display announced on the 16th that its organic light-emitting diode (OLED) TV panel applying ‘EX Technology’ received the Special Technology Award at the ‘2022 Grand Prix Award’ hosted by Hivi, Japan’s most prestigious video and audio media. This marks the third time LG Display has received the Special Technology Award in the Japanese market, where OLED demand is high due to sensitivity to TV picture quality, following awards in 2012 and 2016.

Hivi selects the best products each year through expert evaluations of video and audio devices sold on the market. It holds significant influence especially in the TV sector. Hivi stated that LG Display was included in this year’s award list considering that EX Technology improved TV picture quality, which was previously regarded as a limitation. LG Display is the only Korean company on this year’s award list.

EX Technology is a proprietary technology independently developed by LG Display, consolidating 10 years of OLED expertise. With heavy hydrogen technology and personalized algorithms, it increases screen brightness (luminance) by 30% compared to existing OLEDs and reproduces natural colors precisely. It features perfect black expression in any environment. Another key advantage is the bezel, reduced by 30% compared to previous models.

Jin Mingyu, Head of Life Display Promotion at LG Display, said, “Based on the overwhelming picture quality unique to LG Display OLED, we will solidify OLED’s status in the premium TV market.”

Since successfully mass-producing the world’s first 55-inch OLED TV panel in 2013, LG Display has consecutively commercialized rollable, wallpaper, 8K, and transparent OLEDs for 10 years. It leads OLED innovation with a full lineup covering medium to extra-large sizes from 42 inches to 97 inches.
