SEOUL, Korea (September 3, 2025) – LG Display, the world’s leading innovator of display technologies, announced today that its fourth-generation OLED panels have been verified by UL Solutions, a global leader in applied safety science, for Perfect Reproduction technology under lighting conditions of up to 500 lux, which is the brightness of a living room in broad daylight. 

This verification is for displays that most perfectly reproduce original content, including color and brightness, even in bright environments. It recognizes that LG Display’s fourth-generation OLED panels accurately reproduce over 95% of original images, based on 4K video (approximately 8.3 million pixels).

To put it another way, these panels perfectly reproduce content at a level of visual quality typically found only in darkened movie theaters, even when they are placed in the brightest living room.

By earning Perfect Reproduction verification, in addition to UL Solutions’ Perfect Black and Perfect Color verifications following its 500 lux test late last year, LG Display's fourth-generation OLED panels have been proven to most perfectly reproduce original content in everyday environments.

LG Display has become the first in the industry to achieve all three verifications under lighting conditions of 500 lux, delivering the differentiated customer value of OLED panels that provide consistent and accurate picture quality anytime, anywhere. Beyond simply evaluating color reproduction or brightness, reliable picture quality assessments demonstrate the outstanding picture quality of fourth-generation OLED more objectively, under conditions resembling real-world usage.

OLED panels use a self-emissive structure where each pixel emits light. This allows for precise control of brightness and color at the pixel level, enabling the reproduction of stable, high-quality images even when the brightness of the surrounding environment changes.

LG Display’s fourth-generation OLED panels, which incorporate the company's most advanced technology, feature an ultra-low reflection design that blocks glare or internal and external light reflections so that the screen can display exactly what the creator intended.

The company's latest OLED panels deliver the highest quality images in both High Dynamic Range (HDR), delivering movie-level picture quality, and Standard Dynamic Range (SDR), which offers standard TV series-level picture quality. 

Unlike the excellent color and contrast ratio of HDR, SDR has a relatively narrow brightness and color range. Therefore, SDR video content can suffer from a more prominent haze effect when viewed on an LCD panel, making images look foggy. On the other hand, OLED panels are able to express perfect black, providing vivid picture quality by maximizing the contrast ratio of HDR and SDR video content.

“Moving forward, we will continue to introduce premium displays that deliver the ultimate viewing experience across diverse usage environments, based on our proprietary OLED technology,” said Yoon Soo-young, Chief Technology Officer of LG Display.

SEOUL, Korea (August 20, 2025) – LG Display, the world’s leading innovator of display technologies, on Wednesday presented innovations optimized for the AI age alongside its vision for the future at the largest academic display conference in Korea.

The International Meeting on Information Display (IMID), hosted by the Korean Information Display Society (KIDS), brings together more than 2,000 display experts annually. IMID 2025 is being held at BEXCO in Busan for three days from Aug. 20.

At the opening ceremony, Choi Hyun-chul, Executive Vice President at LG Display, delivered a keynote speech under the title of “Beyond Screen: Display as Cognitive Interface,” outlining the company's future vision of displays whose role has grown in the age of AI.

“With the advancement of AI, the display has become a cognitive interface - a window where humans and AI meet and communicate," Choi said. He presented the direction of display technology, form, and evolution that will lead AI innovation, including the evolution of the user interface, the evolution of the spatial structure, and the sustainability of AI.

First, introducing the evolution of the user interface, he explained that there is a growing need for displays that can accurately express human intentions and emotions when it comes to AI, emphasizing that OLED is the most optimized technology for this purpose.

“As AI evolves to understand human behavior, displays will move beyond simply showing information,” he said. “In the future, when AI recognizes our intentions and emotions, what matters then is how precisely displays can express them.”

Choi emphasized that high brightness, high resolution, and high color accuracy technology is needed to deliver brighter, clearer, and more accurate color expression. “To achieve this, it is necessary to not only continue developing optical structures for light extraction but also to optimize OLED designs as we have seen with third- and fourth-generation OLED and layered structures such as Tandem OLED.”

He then highlighted the evolution of the spatial structure of displays. He cited “form-factor-free” examples such as Slidable OLEDs and Stretchable displays, and mentioned 3D, augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), transparent, and hologram displays as “technologies that have evolved to offer deeper visual depth and multidimensionality.”

Slidable OLEDs are displays that are as thin as paper and can be hidden in narrow spaces such as car ceilings. With their bright and clear screens, they enable movie viewing and video conferencing, greatly reducing time and space limitations.

Stretchable displays are the ultimate in free-form screens that can be freely transformed into any shape, including by stretching, folding, or twisting them. LG Display unveiled a Stretchable display with the industry's highest screen elongation rate (approximately 50%) in November last year. 

Finally, Choi explained the conditions for the sustainability of AI. He said that technology is needed to selectively show content to intended users, in order to protect privacy. In this regard, he introduced Switchable Privacy Mode (SPM), a field of view control technology that detects the line of sight of people nearby and displays information only to necessary users.

He also insisted that “AI devices inevitably require increased power consumption for real-time responses,” adding that “displays are the most critical component for power efficiency.” 

In addition, he emphasized the importance of eco-conscious technology, as LG Display has been implementing various activities such as carbon reduction and water reuse. As a result, the company has this year been awarded a “Platinum” rating by global ESG evaluation agency EcoVadis, which means it is in the top 1% for ESG management.

Choi concluded his speech by saying, “In the AI age, OLED is the most suitable display for accurately implementing users’ intentions in various forms according to context and considering the sustainability of technological evolution.” He added, “OLED will be a turning point that leads the innovation and expansion of the display industry along with the growth of AI.”

Meanwhile, LG Display set up a special exhibition hall for IMID visitors to experience its 18-inch Slidable OLED for vehicles, Stretchable display, 83-inch fourth-generation OLED TV panel selected as “Display of the Year” at the conference, and Gaming OLEDs.
