LG Electronics to Develop Next-Generation Flight Simulator with Ultra-High-Definition Micro LED

LG Electronics is embarking on the development of a next-generation flight simulator based on its ultra-high-definition micro light-emitting diode (LED) display, 'LG Magnite.'

On October 21, LG Electronics announced that it had signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) for the 'joint research and development of an LED-based video system for flight simulators' at the Seoul International Aerospace & Defense Exhibition 2025 (ADEX 2025), held at KINTEX in Goyang, Gyeonggi Province, on October 20.

The signing ceremony was attended by Paek Kimoon, Executive Vice President and Head of the ID Business Division at LG Electronics, and Kim Jihong, Executive Vice President and Head of the Future Convergence Technology Institute at KAI.

This collaboration aims to combine LG Electronics' micro LED display technology with KAI's expertise in flight simulation to build a next-generation flight training system with enhanced immersion and realism. Through this agreement, the two companies will explore ways to apply LG Magnite to the video system of flight simulators.

LG Magnite is a product that can be assembled in a modular format to create ultra-large and ultra-high-definition screens. Its outstanding brightness and color reproduction capabilities enable realistic simulation of various training environments, including daytime, nighttime, and rainy conditions. Additionally, compared to conventional projector-based systems, it requires less installation space and is easier to maintain, ensuring efficient operation.

At the KAI booth during ADEX 2025, the two companies unveiled a flight simulator concept model equipped with an LG Magnite measuring 4.2 meters wide and 1.35 meters high. Visitors to the booth can experience flight training that closely resembles real-world conditions.

LG Magnite is a self-emissive display in which ultra-fine LED elements, each less than 100 micrometers (μm), emit their own light. It is being utilized in a variety of fields, including digital signage for shopping malls and virtual production studios.

Paek Kimoon stated, "We will continue to pioneer new B2B markets by leveraging the differentiated advantages of LG Magnite, such as its vivid picture quality and ease of installation."
