LG Display said on the 17th that it received innovation awards for two products at CES 2026, the world's largest home appliance and information technology (IT) show.
LG Display won CES 2026 Innovation Awards for the world's first successfully developed "dual view in-vehicle organic light-emitting diode (OLED)" and "in-vehicle under display camera (UDC-IR) OLED." UDC-IR refers to technology that hides a camera beneath the screen.
The Consumer Technology Association (CTA), which hosts CES, selects and releases innovative exhibits every year. LG Display's two products were evaluated as delivering differentiated customer value in the "in-vehicle entertainment" category by maximizing space efficiency, providing excellent image quality, and meeting safety, reliability, and durability, among others.
The "dual view in-vehicle OLED" provides a function that allows the driver to view navigation while the front passenger watches a movie or an over-the-top (OTT) service on a single display. When installed in the center of the rear seat, two passengers on either side can each watch different videos.
The "dual view in-vehicle OLED" optimizes the pixel structure so that even if the driver operates the navigation screen by touch, it does not affect the passenger's entertainment service screen. This enables personalized infotainment for each passenger. The product delivers excellent image quality by applying a Tandem OLED device structure. It also has high durability, operating normally even in extreme conditions from minus 40 degrees to 85 degrees Celsius.
LG Display designed this product to increase the screen transmittance of the camera area and devised an optimal algorithm so the camera area cannot be distinguished from the driver's line of sight. The camera hole for driver monitoring is not visible. It also applied LG Innotek's high-definition IR camera and image quality calibration software so the camera can accurately monitor driver movements.
According to recent trends in the global in-vehicle display market, the installation of "driver-monitoring cameras" to ensure safe driving is expected to be mandated by law. In response, LG Display plans to incorporate cameras for driver monitoring while maximizing display functionality to keep pace with changes in the global market.
At CES 2023, LG Display received an innovation award for "in-vehicle sound solution," a film-type speaker that can be attached to a panel, and at CES 2024, for the world's largest single-panel in-vehicle display, the "57-inch pillar-to-pillar liquid crystal display (LCD)." At this CES 2026, the company plans to operate a dedicated in-vehicle display booth at the mobility technology exhibition hall in the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC) West Hall. For large OLED, it will set up a customer-only booth near the main CES venue at the Conrad hotel to unveil new products.
