K-Display 2025, Korea’s largest display industry exhibition, was held in grand style at COEX in Seoul. Once again this year, LG Display captivated visitors with its unrivaled technological prowess and differentiated exhibition content.
Under the theme “Shaping the Future”, LG Display presented a comprehensive lineup of next-generation OLED, automotive display, and sustainable technologies, offering visitors an in-depth look at innovations that are shaping the future of the industry.
Pioneering the Future: Evolution of Large OLED
LG Display showcased large OLED advancements, enabling visitors to compare the 3rd-and 4th-generation OLED panels featuring META Technology. The Primary RGB Tandem structure of the 4th generation delivers enhanced brightness and improved color reproduction, demonstrating significant visual performance gains over the previous generation.
LG Display also unveiled the world’s fastest OLED monitor panel. Its 27-inch OLED panel (QHD) with a 540Hz refresh rate incorporates DFR (Dynamic Frequency & Resolution) technology, enabling an ultra-high refresh rate of up to 720Hz (HD) when needed. Achieving the world’s highest brightness of 1,500 nits and the fastest response time of 0.03ms, it earned a “triple crown” and set a new vision for the future of World’s Fastest gaming OLEDs.
Other highlights included the 31.5-inch gaming OLED (FHD∙480Hz ↔ UHD∙240Hz) and the 45-inch gaming OLED (21:9, FHD∙330Hz ↔ 5K2K∙165Hz), both equipped with LG Display’s exclusive DFR technology. In the experience zone, visitors could even play a game to compare refresh rates—165Hz versus 330Hz—directly on an OLED panel powered by DFR technology.
OLED Heritage: Bridging the Past and Present of OLED
The second zone, OLED Heritage, offered a timeline view of LG Display’s OLED technology milestones. Starting from Korea’s first-ever 15-inch OLED TV—the origin of large OLED TV panels—the exhibit chronicled advancements from the 1st to 4th generation OLED.
LG Display also created models of each breakthrough technology—such as the two-stack structure of Tandem OLED, the deuterium atom structure of 2nd-generation OLED panels, the Micro Lens Array (MLA) technology of 3rd-generation OLED panels, and the Primary RGB Tandem structure of 4th-generation OLED panels—allowing visitors to experience OLED technology in an intuitive way. In addition, a World’s 1st OLED product archive highlight video made it easy for visitors to grasp the history of OLED technology evolution.
Forwarding the Future: The Future of
Automotive Displays
This zone, featuring a fully autonomous concept car that visitors could actually board, allowed them to experience LG Display’s diverse automotive display technologies and products. The 57-inch Pillar-to-Pillar (P2P) LCD—the largest automotive display currently available—offers information and entertainment on a seamlessly curved screen as needed. In addition, the 32.6-inch Slidable OLED, which extends downward from the ceiling on demand, introduced a new in-vehicle space experience for users.
In addition, the world’s first stretchable display—capable of expanding by up to 53%— was applied to a 12-inch automotive jog dial. This display maintains a seamless, flat design during regular use, but when needed, the jog dial rises to deliver an innovative user experience that combines futuristic design with optimized functionality.
Powering the Future: Sustainable Technologies
Driving the Future
The final zone captivated visitors with eco-friendly displays that incorporated low-power technology, along with advancements that enhanced color reproduction and contrast ratio.
Applying the industry’s first commercialized tandem structure, LG Display’s 14-inch Tandem ATO achieves high brightness with low power consumption, while its single-glass substrate design delivers higher energy efficiency, an ultra-light and ultra-slim form factor, and ultimate picture quality through exceptional brightness.
In particular, the 14.5-inch LCD—featuring advanced Oxide TFT and low-power backlight technology—offers the lowest power consumption among all mass-produced panels todate, maximizing battery life and providing an optimized display solution for the AI era, where power demand is rapidly increasing.
LG Display received the Minister of Trade,
Industry and Energy Award
Adding to the excitement, LG Display received the Minister of Trade, Industry and Energy Award at this year’s K-Display. The company’s 57-inch P2P LCD and 32.6-inch Slidable OLED were recognized for their outstanding technology.
Accepting the award, Ki-hwan Son from LG Display’s Auto Marketing Product Planning Division commented, “This award is a testament to our automotive display technology being officially recognized by the market. We will continue to introduce next-generation technologies for our customers.”
K-Display 2025 went beyond a simple technology exhibition—it was a platform for LG Display to share its vision for the future of displays. From customer-first innovations and industry-leading technologies to sustainable solutions, LG Display remains committed to creating better everyday experiences and value for its customers.
