[Asia Economy Reporter Park Sun-mi] LG Display's automotive displays have received eco-friendly product certification for the first time in the industry.


On the 8th, LG Display announced that its automotive P-OLED (Plastic OLED) and premium LTPS (Low-Temperature Polycrystalline Silicon) LCD panels have obtained the 'Eco Product' certification from SGS, a global inspection and certification organization based in Switzerland. This signifies that the products comply with global environmental regulations throughout the entire process from production to use and disposal, minimizing the use of harmful substances as eco-friendly products.


P-OLED uses elastic plastic as a substrate instead of glass, maintaining excellent image quality while being lightweight and flexible. LTPS LCD is a display suitable for larger sizes and high resolution compared to conventional LCDs. P-OLED has reduced power consumption by about 39% compared to previous models through improved organic device luminous efficiency. With industry-low power consumption and weight, energy efficiency has also increased. It is also evaluated as a technology that can contribute to increased driving range when applied to electric vehicles. LTPS LCD improved liquid crystal transmittance, reducing power consumption and product thickness by 17% and 7.5%, respectively, compared to previous products, and increased resource efficiency by reducing the number of backlight components.



Kim Byung-hoon, Head of Auto Product Development 2 at LG Display, said, “By adding eco-friendly technology to LG Display’s differentiated P-OLED and LTPS LCD technologies, we will continue to strengthen our competitive edge in the automotive display market.”
