LG Display IT High-End LCD Panel Obtains Eco-Friendly Product Certification

TUV Rheinland Obtains 'Product Carbon Footprint Reduction' Certification... Industry First
Simultaneously Receives 'Eco Mark' and 'Performance Mark' Certifications from SGS

LG Display announced on the 11th that its high-end LCD panels for IT devices such as monitors and laptops have consecutively obtained eco-friendly product certifications from global inspection and certification organizations T?V Rheinland and SGS.

T?V Rheinland precisely verified the carbon emissions generated throughout the entire process from production to disposal of LG Display's high-end LCD panels for IT use, based on the international standard for carbon emission measurement (ISO 14067). As a result, by newly applying recycled materials and improving panel transmittance, the carbon emissions were reduced by up to 29% compared to before, awarding the 'Product Carbon Footprint Reduction (PCF)' certification. This is the first time a display panel has received T?V Rheinland's Product Carbon Footprint Reduction certification.

LG Display's high-end LCD panels for IT use also simultaneously obtained the 'Eco Mark,' given to products that comply with global eco-friendly standards, and the 'Performance Mark,' awarded only to products that are eco-friendly while possessing excellent performance and quality, from SGS. The panels received high evaluations in terms of resource efficiency and energy efficiency, including increasing the use of recycled materials up to 22%, and were recognized for reducing power consumption by up to 35% compared to before through the application of proprietary algorithms and the use of high-efficiency components.

LG Display plans to further strengthen its leadership in the IT high-end LCD panel market by adding eco-friendliness to differentiated LCD technologies such as IPS (In-Plane Switching), a wide viewing angle technology, and in-TOUCH, which integrates touch sensors into the panel.
