SEOUL, Korea (May 13, 2024) – LG Display, the world’s leading innovator of display technologies, announced today that Joon-young Yang, head of the company’s Precedence Technology Laboratory, has been selected to win the Special Recognition Award at SID Display Week 2024 organized by the Society for Information Display (SID).
As the world’s most prestigious display organization, SID annually conducts a rigorous judging process to recognize experts who have contributed to display technology innovation and industry development.
SID explained that “Dr. Yang has provided the direction of future displays by developing core technologies for next-generation displays.”
Yang has been working in the display industry for more than 30 years and has contributed to the development of new technologies such as OLEDoS and Stretchable, Flexible and Transparent displays, as well as ultra-high-resolution LCDs and large-sized TV panel technologies. He received a commendation from the President of South Korea in 2018 for his contributions to the development of these new technologies.
He also optimized the OLEDoS design for Extended Reality (XR) devices and conducted research on high-performance OLED element stacking structure technology. In doing this, he has led the development of ultra-high brightness and ultra-high resolution OLEDoS.
In addition, Yang contributed to the development of an innovative technology for the first time in the world in 2022 that enables a 12-inch screen to be able to stretch to 14 inches while simultaneously maintaining high resolution (100 ppi) and full-color RGB at the level of general monitors.
In addition, he played a key role in researching and developing new technologies and new products in various display areas, from small to large, based on his expertise in device and process fields. These include amorphous silicon (a-Si), low-temperature polycrystalline silicon (LTPS), and oxide semiconductor TFTs.
The SID Display Week 2024 award ceremony will be held in San Jose, California, on May 13.
