LG Display announced on October 11 that its high-end LCD panels for IT, used in monitors and laptops, have received back-to-back eco-friendly product certifications from global inspection and certification organizations TUV Rheinland and Societe Generale de Surveillance (SGS).
In accordance with the international standard for carbon emission measurement (ISO 14067), TUV Rheinland conducted a detailed verification of the carbon emissions generated by LG Display's high-end LCD panels for IT from production to disposal.
As a result, LG Display was awarded Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) certification for reducing carbon emissions by up to 29% compared to previous years through the use of new recycled materials and improved panel transmittance.
This is the first time a display panel has received PCF certification from TUV Rheinland.
LG Display's high-end LCD panels for IT also received the Eco Mark certification from SGS, which recognizes products that comply with global environmental standards, and the Performance Mark certification, which recognizes products that are both environmentally friendly and have outstanding performance and quality.
The company was also recognized for its resource efficiency and energy efficiency, including increasing the use of recycled materials by up to 22%, and for reducing power consumption by up to 35% compared to previous years by applying proprietary algorithms and using high-efficiency components.
LG Display plans to further strengthen its leadership in the high-end LCD panel market for IT by adding eco-friendliness to its differentiated LCD technologies such as In-Plane Switching (IPS), a wide viewing angle technology, and in-TOUCH, which embeds a touch sensor into the panel.
Meanwhile, since 2021, LG Display has been utilizing Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), a technique that holistically evaluates all environmental impacts in a product's life cycle, to develop eco-friendly products. Through this, the company has achieved results such as reducing the use of materials and components, reducing greenhouse gas and electricity usage during manufacturing, developing low-consumption products, and reducing waste at the disposal stage.
