LG Display has obtained cybersecurity certification for in-vehicle displays.
LG Display said on the 8th that it received the International Standard for Automotive Cybersecurity Engineering (ISO/SAE 21434) for its new automotive organic light-emitting diode (OLED) product from UL Solutions, a safety science certification company. LG Display is the first in the display industry to obtain this certification.
The International Standard for Automotive Cybersecurity Engineering certification verifies whether an organization has established processes to manage and respond to cyberattack risks across the entire life cycle of a vehicle, including development, production, supply, and disposal. LG Display said, "We proactively obtained cybersecurity certification to create differentiated customer value in the display market for finished vehicles and mobility," adding, "We designed the display in a way that makes hacking difficult at the development stage and installed enhanced security devices in the circuitry at the production stage to obtain certification."
As the transition to software-defined vehicles (SDV) accelerates, Europe is making automotive security certifications mandatory for automakers. As a result, the parts industry is also being required to strengthen security capabilities. In-vehicle displays are key components that connect vehicle software and drivers, so they must have high security.
LG Display plans to use its development and production system for new automotive OLED products that meet cybersecurity certification to strengthen its order-winning competitiveness in the automotive market. Kwon Geuk-sang, head of LG Display's Auto Business Group, said, "This is part of our effort to respond quickly to customer needs and create differentiated customer value," adding, "We will strengthen our leading position in the premium in-vehicle display market."
