Prior to this, Mr. Kim developed ultra-high-resolution LCD products with embedded touch sensors within their displays to achieve highly sensitive In-Cell Touch functionality. He also contributed to the commercialization of high-performance IT displays by expanding foldable technology, previously only applied to smartphones, to displays larger than 13 inches for the first time in the world.

Meanwhile, LG Display is focusing on commercializing differentiated advanced technologies by applying them in product development and manufacturing. In addition, the company’s strategy is to accelerate innovation in AI and digital transformation (DX) to lead the way in display technology leadership.

SEOUL, Korea (May 6, 2025) – LG Display, the world’s leading innovator of display technologies, announced today that it will participate in SID Display Week 2025, the world’s largest display exhibition, where it will showcase next-generation automotive displays.

SID Display Week draws together global display companies and researchers to present research papers on new technologies and exhibit medium- to long-term future technologies alongside new products. This year’s event is being held in San Jose, California, for three days from May 13 (local time).

LG Display plans to showcase the world's best automotive displays optimized for future mobility under the theme "Driving the future."

In line with the growing trend of larger and more numerous automotive displays amid the increasing importance of automotive infotainment systems, LG Display will introduce solutions that break boundaries in various aspects, including form, size, and image quality.

With its Stretchable automotive display solution that can turn every interior space into a display, the company is presenting the potential for design innovation geared towards future mobility.

LG Display has maximized aesthetics and convenience by applying a Stretchable display to a vehicle’s center fascia area. The display can expand by up to 50% while maintaining a high resolution of 100 ppi (pixels per inch) and full RGB color, comparable to that of a standard monitor.

A conventional vehicle's center fascia area requires a separate automotive display and physical buttons. With the application of a Stretchable display, however, the screen can freely expand, allowing the display and buttons to merge seamlessly into a single screen. When the screen is touched, the previously flat display flexibly expands and protrudes touch buttons, making it easy to operate even while driving.

The company will also showcase various world-leading form factor innovations, including a Pillar-to-Pillar product optimized for Software-Defined Vehicles (SDVs) and a Slidable OLED display that can be rolled up and hidden in a vehicle’s interior ceiling.

LG Display, which recently achieved the first commercialization of a 40-inch Pillar-to-Pillar display, will exhibit a 57-inch automotive Pillar-to-Pillar display, the largest in the world as a single panel.

It is an ultra-large solution that spans the dashboard from the driver's seat to the front passenger's seat. It allows the driver to view vehicle information such as driving data and the air conditioning system at a glance, while also enabling high-definition enjoyment of varied content like movies and games.

The 18-inch Slidable OLED display extends downward from the ceiling only when needed. With OLED’s distinctive three-dimensional image quality, it enables entertainment functions and provides a new mobility experience.

The Pillar-to-Pillar and Slidable product lines introduced this time have secured reliability and durability to ensure they operate normally even in extreme environments, from freezing cold as low as -40°C to the extreme heat of 85°C, making them suitable for automotive use.

With the trend of larger automotive displays, a key viewing angle control technology that enhances safety is being showcased, known as Switchable Privacy Mode (SPM).

As the first in the industry to commercialize SPM, LG Display’s innovation allows the front passenger to watch movies or play games on the area of the display in front of them, while driving safety is supported as the passenger's entertainment content is kept invisible from the driver's seat.

Having also become the world’s first to commercialize Tandem OLED for automotive displays in 2019, LG Display is strengthening its leadership in premium automotive displays based on its full lineup of related world-class technologies, including P-OLED, Advanced Thin OLED (ATO), and high-end LTPS LCD.

"At SID Display Week 2025, we will continue to showcase new technologies that can create differentiated customer value, solidifying our status as the global number one with the world’s best automotive displays," said Keuk-sang Kwon, Head of Auto Business Group at LG Display.

SEOUL, Korea (May 1, 2025) – LG Display, the world’s leading innovator of display technologies, announced today that it has become the world’s first company to successfully verify the commercialization-level performance of blue phosphorescent OLED panels on a mass production line. The achievement comes about eight months after the company partnered with UDC to develop blue phosphorescence, and is considered a significant step closer to realizing a “dream OLED” display.

In the display industry, “dream OLED” refers to an OLED panel that achieves phosphorescence for all three primary colors of light (red, green, and blue). OLED panel light emission methods are broadly categorized into fluorescence and phosphorescence. Fluorescence is a simpler process in which materials emit light immediately upon receiving electrical energy, but its luminous efficiency is only 25%. In contrast, phosphorescence briefly stores received electrical energy before emitting light. Although it is technically more complex, this method offers luminous efficiency of 100% and uses a quarter as much power as fluorescence.

However, achieving blue phosphorescence has remained a major challenge even more than 20 years after the commercialization of red and green phosphorescence. This is due to blue, among the three primary colors, having the shortest wavelength and demanding the greatest energy.

LG Display has solved this issue by using a hybrid two-stack Tandem OLED structure, with blue fluorescence in the lower stack and blue phosphorescence in the upper stack. By combining the stability of fluorescence with the lower power consumption of phosphorescence, it consumes about 15% less power while maintaining a similar level of stability to existing OLED panels.

In particular, LG Display is the first to succeed in reaching the commercialization stage of blue phosphorescent OLED panels, where performance evaluation, optical characteristics, and processability on actual mass production lines should all be confirmed. The company has already completed commercialization verification with UDC.

LG Display has independently filed patents for its hybrid blue phosphorescent OLED technology in both South Korea and the United States.

The company will showcase a blue phosphorescent OLED panel featuring two-stack Tandem technology at SID Display Week 2025, the world’s largest display event, in San Jose, California from May 11th (local time). 

At the show, LG Display will be unveiling a blue phosphorescent OLED panel featuring two-stack Tandem technology applied to a small and medium-sized panel that can be applied to IT devices such as smartphones and tablets. As more and more products require high definition and high efficiency such as AI PCs and AR/VR devices, the application of blue phosphorescence technology is expected to expand rapidly.

"The successful commercialization of blue phosphorescence technology, which has been called the final piece of the ‘dream OLED’ puzzle, will become an innovative milestone towards the next generation of OLED," said Soo-young Yoon, CTO and Executive Vice President of LG Display. "We expect to secure a leading position in the future display market through blue phosphorescence technology.”
