PR LG Display earns industry’s first “100% dimming consistency” verification2026-02-26 See details
SEOUL, Korea (February 26, 2026) – LG Display, the world’s leading innovator of display technologies, today announced that all of its large-sized OLED panels, including those for TVs and monitors, have been recognized for their “perfect dimming technology” – earning the industry’s first “100% dimming consistency” verification from UL Solutions, a global leader in applied safety science. This performance, as validated by UL Solutions, objectively demonstrates the superiority of OLED’s pixel-level dimming.
Dimming consistency refers to a measurement method that evaluates, in percentage terms, how effectively a display reproduces content based on its brightness performance. A reference area is set in the center of the screen and is gradually reduced from 1/10 of the panel to 11/1000, 5/1000, and finally 2/1000. The results are expressed as a percentage: if the maximum and minimum brightness values remain the same throughout the process, dimming consistency is 100%. Conversely, as the value decreases, it means that there is light intensity variation within the same screen. In such cases, brightness differs depending on the position of the light source, even for the same color.
LG Display’s OLED maintained the same brightness performance even as the test reference area decreased, achieving a dimming consistency rate of 100%. In contrast, LCD-based panels became dimmer as the test reference area shrank, with dimming consistency dropping from a maximum of 83% to as low as 43%.
This is due to differences in emission methods. Because OLED panels emit light at the pixel level, with pixels measuring only about 0.1 mm², they can maintain brightness even when the test reference area is reduced, reproducing natural colors and clearly distinguishing color boundaries. This means they can faithfully express the content creator’s original intent.
By comparison, RGB Mini LED, the latest LCD TV technology, relies on backlight blocks that are 160,000 to 830,000 times larger than the pixels of an OLED panel, revealing limitations in reproducing natural colors. As brightness diminishes toward the edges of the backlight blocks, it becomes difficult to clearly distinguish color boundaries, resulting in reduced color accuracy. Light bleeding, known as the halo effect, may also occur. (See Photo 1)
With the halo effect, light leaks from the boundaries of the backlight blocks of an LCD panel, causing the image to appear hazy. For example, when a bright star in a dark sky is smaller than the area of a backlight block, the boundary between the starlight and the dark sky may not be rendered clearly, making the image appear blurred.

This further highlights OLED as the optimal display for connecting humans and AI. In the AI era, high luminance, high resolution, and high color gamut performance are essential – enabling brighter, sharper, and more accurate color reproduction. Having achieved 100% dimming consistency, OLED can deliver the rich visual information generated by AI in a natural and precise manner.
LG Display plans to further strengthen its large-sized OLED leadership based on this world-leading OLED technology. The company’s new OLED TV panel applies its proprietary “Primary RGB Tandem 2.0” technology, which emits light by stacking the three primary colors of light – red, green, and blue – in independent layers. It delivers a peak luminance of up to 4,500 nits (one nit equals the brightness of a single candle) and incorporates technology that absorbs and disperses light rather than reflecting it, achieving the lowest reflectance level (0.3%) among existing displays.
Hyeon-woo Lee, Head of LG Display’s Large Display Business Unit, said, “We have objectively identified why OLED appears brighter and clearer. Through this verification, we can more clearly explain to customers that OLED’s pixel dimming technology, which maintains 100% dimming consistency, is the optimal choice in the AI era.”

PR LG Display unveils world’s first 240Hz RGB stripe OLED panel2025-12-23 See detailsSEOUL, Korea (December 23, 2025) – LG Display, the world’s leading innovator of display technologies, announced today that it will debut the world’s first 27-inch 4K OLED panel for monitors featuring an RGB stripe structure and a 240Hz refresh rate at CES 2026, the world’s largest IT and consumer electronics exhibition.
The RGB stripe structure arranges the three primary color subpixels — red, green, and blue — in a straight line, significantly reducing visual distortions such as color bleeding and fringing, even at close viewing distances.
Although OLED panels using the RGB stripe method existed before, their maximum refresh rate reached around 60Hz, making them unsuitable for use as gaming monitors.
LG Display’s new panel is the first in the world to achieve a 240Hz refresh rate while maintaining an RGB stripe structure. It incorporates the company's specialized Dynamic Frequency & Resolution (DFR) technology, allowing users to directly switch between high-resolution (UHD 240Hz) and high-refresh-rate (FHD 480Hz) modes.
This product’s high refresh rate not only delivers optimal performance in first-person shooter (FPS) games and other applications that require rapid screen transitions, but it is also optimized for operating systems such as Windows and for font-rendering engines, ensuring excellent text readability and high color accuracy. Featuring a high pixel density of 160 pixels per inch (ppi), this panel additionally provides exceptional detail and precision.
With its plan to initially introduce the new pixel structure in its high-end gaming and professional monitor panels, LG Display will actively promote the technology at the upcoming CES 2026 as part of its strategy to expand its customer base and product lineup.
Existing high-end Gaming OLED monitor panels have primarily used RGWB structures, which include a white subpixel, or configurations where RGB pixels are arranged in a triangular pattern.
As LG Display developed its new pattern optimized for monitor use, it applied various new technologies — such as increasing the aperture ratio, which is the proportion of the pixel area that emits light. As a result, it achieved the world first of implementing both an RGB stripe structure and a high refresh rate simultaneously.
The company is actively targeting the high-end monitor market, mass-producing about 30% of the panels for the OLED monitor global market. In particular, among Gaming OLED panels currently in mass production, LG Display holds the world’s top titles in all major specs — including highest refresh rate, response time, and resolution — affirming its overwhelming technological leadership.
“Technology is the foundation of leadership in the rapidly growing OLED monitor market,” said Lee Hyun-woo, Head of the Large Display Business Unit at LG Display. He added, “We will continue to strengthen our global leadership by focusing on differentiated technologies compared to competitors, technologies that customers want, and technologies with strong business potential.”

PR LG Display becomes first in display industry to obtain automotive cybersecurity certification2025-12-08 See detailsSEOUL, Korea (December 08, 2025) – LG Display, the world’s leading innovator of display technologies, announced today that it has become the first automotive display maker to obtain cybersecurity certification, confirming its leadership in the era of Software-Defined Vehicles (SDVs).
UL Solutions, a global leader in applied safety science, issued the Cybersecurity Assurance Program Certificate for ISO-SAE 21434:2021, Road Vehicles – Cybersecurity Engineering to LG Display for its latest Automotive OLED products, which are set for mass production next year.
The ISO/SAE 21434:2021 standard verifies whether automotive original equipment manufacturers and suppliers have established processes to manage and respond to cybersecurity risks throughout entire product lifecycles, including development, production, supply, and disposal.
To demonstrate its differentiated customer value in the automotive and mobility markets, LG Display became the first display manufacturer to proactively obtain this certification. The company underwent verification for designing displays to resist hacking from the development stage, as well as for incorporating circuit‑level security enhancements during production. This is in turn expected to strengthen the company’s global competitiveness in product bids.
This achievement stems from LG Display's efforts over the past year to establish a dedicated cybersecurity organization, continuously enhance its cybersecurity capabilities for user safety, and advance its development and production systems. These measures have strengthened not only the competitiveness of its automotive display products and technologies but also its stable supply capacity.
Following the acquisition of certification for its new Automotive OLED scheduled for mass production next year, the company plans to actively leverage its new product development and production system that meets cybersecurity certification requirements.
As the automotive industry shifts to SDVs, cybersecurity certifications have become increasingly critical. In Europe, which is leading automotive security standards, cybersecurity standard certification is needed for automakers, while the requirement is being increasingly applied to component suppliers, too.
Automotive displays, in particular, play a crucial role as a primary interface connecting a vehicle’s software systems with the driver. Drivers check information via digital instrument clusters and operate infotainment systems such as navigation and media on central display panels.
“This initiative reflects our commitment to responding promptly to customer needs and delivering differentiated value,” said Kwon Geuk‑sang, Head of Auto Business Group at LG Display. He added, “We will continue to strengthen our leadership in the premium automotive display market.”
