Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) said on the 21st that it will jointly develop a "next-generation aircraft simulator video system" with LG Electronics.

KAI and LG Electronics signed a business agreement to that effect at the Seoul International Aerospace and Defense Exhibition (ADEX) held at Kintex in Goyang, Gyeonggi, on the 20th.

KAI and LG Electronics will pursue technology exchanges and joint research cooperation to develop an aircraft simulator video system based on a micro light-emitting diode (LED) display.

Through this agreement, KAI plans to set standards in the simulator video system market. It plans to move away from projecting external images onto a large screen and leverage the advantages of micro LED, such as sharp image quality and high brightness.

KAI and LG Electronics plan to push joint research with the ultimate goal of developing a curved LED display for the next-generation aircraft simulator video system. The idea is to dramatically reduce the complexity of the video system while increasing pilot training immersion.

A KAI official said, "By combining KAI's aircraft simulator expertise with LG Electronics' display technology, we will continue to innovate aircraft simulators and step up our push into the global market."
