The 22nd Korea Display Industry Exhibition, the largest ever with 172 companies (582 booths), will be held for three days from the 16th to the 18th at COEX in Seoul.

The exhibition will feature domestic major panel companies such as Samsung Display and LG Display, as well as domestic and international materials, components, and equipment companies, showcasing various new technologies and products including organic light-emitting diode (OLED) displays.

Visitors to this exhibition will be able to see a variety of products expected to be released or commercialized in the near future, such as a 12.4-inch tablet OLED display that can be rolled up to reduce its length by up to five times for maximum portability, and a 34-inch large vehicle OLED (concept car display).

Innovative products such as the 77-inch QD-OLED TV and transparent OLED, which were introduced at the world's largest display event, the 'Society for Information Display (SID) 2023,' will also be exhibited. Products from materials, components, and equipment companies with differentiated technologies, such as laser equipment used for precise panel cutting, will be showcased as well.

Various side events will be held in addition to the exhibition.

The Korea Display Industry Association (KDIA) and the Semiconductor Equipment Association of Japan (SEAJ) are scheduled to sign a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to strengthen mutual cooperation. Trade consultations for export companies and an expert forum on microLED technology trends, which is gaining attention as the next-generation technology after OLED, are also planned.

At the opening ceremony, six companies that have made efforts to innovate display technology, including film-type transparent LED (APS) and OLED mask cleaner (Device ENG), received the Minister of Trade, Industry and Energy Award. Joo Young-joon, Director of Industrial Policy at the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy, stated, "The government will actively support our companies to achieve an OLED technology gap and to lead new markets such as automotive, transparent, and extended reality (XR)."
