LG Display Accelerates AI Integration to Boost Productivity by 30%
LG Display has announced a comprehensive plan to integrate artificial intelligence across all its business operations. The goal is clear: increase overall productivity by 30% within the next three years. This initiative, called AX, focuses on applying proprietary AI technologies in product development, manufacturing, and office workflows.
Driving Efficiency in Product Development and Manufacturing
The company is leveraging AI to speed up product development and improve manufacturing outcomes. For example, AI-powered algorithms now reduce the design time for irregular panels with curved edges or slim bezels from nearly a month to just eight hours. This drastic reduction is achieved by automating what was once a manual and repetitive design process.
In addition, AI has been applied to optical design for OLED panels. What previously took over five days of simulation now completes in less than a day. This improvement optimizes color consistency across wide viewing angles, directly impacting product quality and development speed.
AI-Based Production System Boosts Profitability
LG Display introduced an AI-based production system tailored for organic light-emitting diode (OLED) manufacturing last year. This system has already contributed to a profitability increase exceeding 200 billion won (~$144 million). It achieves this by significantly reducing the time needed for defect analysis and quality improvement.
Enhancing Office Productivity with AI Assistants
The company developed an in-house AI assistant platform named HI-D, which supports employees with real-time translation, document drafting, internal data searches, and meeting transcription. Powered by LG AI Research’s large language model, Exaone 4.0, HI-D has boosted daily office productivity by 10% and saved over 10 billion won annually by cutting external subscription costs.
Commitment to AI for Competitive Advantage
Facing strong competition from China, LG Display is determined to reclaim its position as the global leader in display technology. Senior research engineer Lee Young-joon emphasized that AI is the key tool enabling this goal. The company is focused on delivering measurable results through AI-driven innovation.
