The LG-designed OLED rear lamp
leverages the company’s global leadership in all things OLED. As the world’s leader
in OLED TVs, LG has deep experience incorporating advanced OLED technologies in
products such as smartphones, smartwatches and instrument panels. LG’s OLED rear
lamp is more compact than conventional lighting modules thanks to the lack of a
backlight unit, up to 85 to 90 percent smaller than typical rear lamps. LG’s
OLED lamp also runs cooler which results in improved durability and longevity compared
to conventional rear units. In addition to its new OLED rear ramp, LG plans to showcase other innovative products such as AV navigation
systems, infotainment systems and convenience-enhancing devices such as ADAS
cameras, LCD instrument panels and electric compressors, among others.

LG Vehicle Components is LG’s fastest growing business and is expected to
play a major role in the future growth of the corporation. This growth will be
fueled to a large degree by the collaboration with General Motors on the
Chevrolet Bolt EV, in which LG is supplying a total of 11 components and
systems, including electric drive motors, power invertor modules, battery cells
and high power distribution modules. For its contribution toward the success of the Chevy Bolt, LG was recognized
with GM’s Innovation Award of the Year
earlier this year. This comes top of other industry recognitions such as
the Supplier Award from Renault and
the Technology and Innovation Award from
Volkswagen.
