LG Display has unveiled its next-generation organic light-emitting diode (OLED) patterning technology, 'FLiPP,' to its employees. This move is part of the company's strategy to secure differentiated technology in response to competition from Chinese display manufacturers and to accelerate research and development and operational innovation using artificial intelligence (AI).
From November 11 to 13, LG Display is hosting a technology workshop called 'Tech X' at its Paju facility. This inaugural event aims to share research and development achievements and promote successful examples of AI transformation (AX).
FLiPP (FMM-Less Innovative Pixel Patterning), which was revealed at the event, is a next-generation OLED patterning technology that does not use fine metal masks (FMM). LG Display introduced the development direction of this technology and its significance for future competitiveness to all employees.
Fine metal masks are components used in the OLED manufacturing process to precisely deposit light-emitting materials. The development of patterning technology that does not rely on these masks is being researched as an alternative to reduce the limitations of existing processes.
The research and development forum will showcase 57 products and technologies that apply LG Display's proprietary 'Winning Tech.' Additionally, over 30 outstanding papers presented at major conferences, including the Society for Information Display (SID), will be highlighted.
Achievements in operational improvements using AI will also be shared. Successful examples from the 'AX Squad,' where employees directly undertake innovation projects, will be selected, and cases of technology development utilizing AI agents and simulations will be displayed.
Jung Chul-dong, CEO of LG Display, emphasized, "A technology-driven company must constantly challenge itself to do what others do not and to tackle more difficult tasks. We must create new value with technologies that only we can offer."
LG Display plans to institutionalize this event to broadly disseminate its technology development achievements and experiences in utilizing AI across the company.
