The International Meeting on Information Display (IMID) 2025, Korea’s largest display industry conference, took place from August 20 to 22 at BEXCO in Busan.
At this year’s event, LG Display won the “IMID Display of the Year” award. In addition, by delivering a keynote address at the opening ceremony, showcasing its innovative products, and presenting 23 research papers on OLED and next-generation display technologies, the company demonstrated its leadership in display technology for the AI era.
4th-Generation OLED Wins
“Display of the Year” Award
LG Display’s 4th-generation OLED TV panel was honored with the “Display of the Year” award in the panel category. This advanced panel incorporates the company’s proprietary Primary RGB Tandem technology, which stacks red, green, and blue layers independently to achieve an industry-leading peak brightness of 4,000 nits.
The panel also features an ultra-low reflection technology that blocks 99% of incoming light from both internal and external sources, producing perfect blacks and delivering clear, glare-free images even in bright environments. Designed with the AI TV era in mind, it significantly improves energy efficiency—by approximately 20% for 65-inch models—through enhanced device structure and optimized power management.
In addition, it provides differentiated customer value through human-friendly technologies, such as by emitting only 45% blue light compared with the 70-80% level that would typically be produced by an LCD screen. Blue light is known to negatively affect users’ vision and circadian rhythms.
Keynote: “OLED as the Turning Point
for AI-Driven Innovation”
Following the award ceremony, LG Display’s Executive Vice President, Hyun-Chul Choi, delivered the opening keynote, titled “Beyond Screen: Display as Cognitive Interface.” He emphasized that in the AI era, displays are evolving from mere information screens into interactive windows for human-AI communication. Choi outlined three core directions for this evolution: advancing display interfaces to precisely convey user intent and emotions, expanding the expressive space of displays, and ensuring the sustainability of these innovations. Highlighting OLED as the most suitable technology for this transformation, he stated, “OLED will be the turning point that drives innovation and expansion in the display industry as AI adoption accelerates.”
Immersive Experience at the LG Display Special Exhibition
Visitors to IMID 2025 were treated to an exclusive look at LG Display’s cutting-edge technologies in a dedicated exhibition booth. Center stage was the award-winning 83-inch 4th-generation OLED TV panel, alongside a 27-inch 4th-generation gaming OLED featuring refresh rates of up to 720Hz with DFR(Dynamic Frequency & Resolution) technology. Attendees also experienced the remarkable immersion of the 45-inch DFR Gaming OLED, which combines ultra-high resolution with high refresh rates.
The booth also showcased advanced mobility solutions for the Software-Defined Vehicle (SDV) era, including the 57-inch Pillar-to-Pillar LCD, 18-inch Slidable OLED, 12-inch Stretchable Display, and the 13-inch Hybrid Tandem OLED-featuring a hybrid two-stack Tandem OLED structure, with blue fluorescence in the lower stack and blue phosphorescence in the upper stack for dramatically improved power efficiency. The variety and performance of these innovations drew strong interest and positive feedback from visitors.
From groundbreaking OLED advancements to interactive technology demonstrations and direct engagement with future industry leaders, IMID 2025 served as a powerful platform for LG Display to demonstrate its role at the forefront of AI-optimized display innovation.
Please look forward to LG Display’s next move, which will provide constant challenges and differentiated value.
