SEOUL,
South Korea, March 18,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- LG Display, the world's leading
innovator of display technologies, announced today that its 65-inch
OLED TV panel earned the Product Carbon Footprint
Certification from the Carbon Trust. With this
achievement, the company's OLED panel further solidified the
company's leadership in the OLED industry.
LG Display's 65-inch OLED panel received this recognition from
the Carbon Trust by meeting the global standard (PAS 2050) on GHG
(Greenhouse Gas) emissions throughout the entire product life
cycle. The Carbon Trust is a global climate consultancy driven by
its mission to accelerate the move to a decarbonized future, and
its Product Carbon Footprint Certification is one of the most
internationally recognized environmental certifications.
LG Display's self-emissive OLED TV panel requires no
backlight, which allows the panel to significantly reduce the
use of plastic materials by up to 90% compared to LCD panels and to
improve recycling rate to 92.7% by raising the use of iron and
metal materials. The company's OLED TV panel previously received
Eco Product Certification from SGS, a Swiss-based global leader in
inspection, for excelling in terms of environmental friendliness in
four categories: Recycling, Hazardous Substances, Resource
Efficiency and Energy Efficiency.
The company further improved its OLED TV panel's energy
efficiency this year by 22% compared to previous panels through its
newly-unveiled META Technology, which combines a 'Micro Lens Array
(MLA)' technology that maximizes light emissions with 'META
Booster,' the company's exclusive brightness-enhancing
algorithm. LG Display's OLED TV panel is also widely
recognized for emitting the lowest blue light in the industry while
providing users with the best flicker-free viewing experience.
Meanwhile, LG Display has introduced its 'Life Cycle Assessment
(LCA)' system in 2021 to comprehensively evaluate every
environmental impact created during a product's life cycle. Through
this new initiative, the company successfully reduced its total use
of materials and parts and minimized greenhouse gases and power
consumption during manufacturing, while developing products with
lower power consumption and reducing waste during the disposal
stage.
"We aim to enhance the eco-friendliness and competitiveness of
our OLED TV panels by incorporating environmentally sustainable
technologies into LG Display's unmatched technological expertise"
said Kwon-shik Park, Vice President of Foundation Technology
Laboratory at LG Display.
