LG Display presents world's best OLED technologies alongside historic firsts at K-Display 2025
SEOUL, South Korea, Aug. 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- LG Display, the world's leading innovator of display technologies, announced today its participation in K-Display 2025 at COEX in Seoul for three days from Aug. 7, as the company is showcasing innovative technologies and products ranging from large, medium, and small-sized panels to automotive displays. LG Display is presenting OLED innovations and display solutions that bridge the present and future under the theme, "Shaping the Future." In particular, the exhibition features an experience Zone where visitors can directly encounter the world's first and best technologies, enhancing their understanding of LG Display's capabilities. The OLED Heritage exhibition space allows visitors to see at a glance the technological leadership LG Display has achieved since becoming the first in the world to successfully mass-produce large-sized OLED panels. This journey covers the company's 15-inch OLED panel prototype from 2009, which laid the foundation for OLED TV panels, as well as a Tandem OLED panel with a two-layer structure, the deuterium atom structure of second-generation OLED, the Micro Lens Array (MLA) technology of third-generation OLED, and the Primary RGB Tandem structure of fourth-generation OLED. All are presented so that visitors can more intuitively understand OLED technology. At the booth's entrance, visitors witness LG Display's 83-inch OLED panel featuring fourth-generation OLED technology, which was newly unveiled by the company this year. Fourth-generation OLED achieves a maximum brightness of 4,000 nits based on the industry's first Primary RGB Tandem technology, which stacks the three primary colors of light (red, green, and blue) as independent layers. LG Display is demonstrating a comparison of the previous generation's picture quality with that of fourth-generation OLED panels using ultra-large-sized panels, highlighting the incredible three-dimensionality and rich color reproduction of its latest technology. In addition, it is unveiling the world's fastest OLED monitor panel for the first time. LG Display's 540Hz 27-inch OLED panel (QHD) applies Dynamic Frequency & Resolution (DFR) technology to achieve an ultra-high refresh rate of up to 720Hz (HD) depending on the user's needs. Combined with fourth-generation OLED technology, it boasts the highest level of picture quality among OLED monitor panels, with 99.5% DCI-P3 color reproduction and a maximum brightness of 1,500 nits. Also on show is a 45-inch 5K2K (5120×2160) OLED panel, which boasts the world's highest resolution among existing OLED monitor panels. Visitors are able to play games using this panel and thereby discover the difference refresh rates make to gaming. Those in attendance additionally have the chance to experience LG Display's various automotive display technologies and products in an auto cockpit with a living space concept that facilitates fully autonomous mobility beyond software-defined vehicles (SDVs). The 57-inch Pillar-to-Pillar LCD at the center of the cockpit is the largest automotive display currently available, providing information and entertainment functions as desired through its natural curved screen. There is also a 32.6-inch Slidable OLED for vehicles, which unfolds downward when needed, as well as an ultra-bright 29-inch Outdoor LCD, which can be used for both advertising and communication with the world outside the vehicle. Moreover, LG Display is exhibiting a 47.8-inch LTPS LCD equipped with Switchable Privacy Mode (SPM) technology, allowing the screen in front of the passenger seat to be adjusted so that it is not visible from the driver's seat. The company is also introducing the world's first jog dial for vehicles that utilizes a Stretchable display that can stretch up to 53%. This innovative product maintains a smooth and flat form when not in use, but when a button is touched, it stretches to form a jog dial. Additionally, there is a 14-inch Tandem ATO featuring LG Display's Tandem structure for the first time in the industry, offering both high brightness with low power consumption while also enabling a thin and lightweight design with a single glass substrate structure. A 14.5-inch LCD unveiled alongside it uses advanced Oxide TFT and low-power backlight technology to maximize battery life, providing an optimized display solution for the AI era's significantly higher power consumption. "The LG Display-led technological evolution of OLED is changing the paradigm of displays," said an official at LG Display. The official added, "We will secure sustainable technological competitiveness and provide differentiated customer value by not only bringing commercial technologies to maturity but also solidly preparing R&D capabilities for future technologies."

In a statement, Matrade said the Malaysia Pavilion featured 12 companies and one government agency, making it the largest national pavilion at the fair.

BYDFi Amplifies Web3 Push at Seoul Meta Week
BYDFi, the Seychelles‑based crypto exchange, confirmed its role as an official partner at Seoul Meta Week 2025: METACON, held on 26–27 June at COEX's third‑floor auditorium, joining industry giants such as Samsung, Google, Intel, Spotify, Kakao and GitHub. Booth 11 at the event quickly emerged as a high‑traffic hub, drawing crowds eager to engage with BYDFi's team and claim exclusive merchandise designed for attendees. Michael, co‑founder and CEO of BYDFi, praised Seoul Meta Week as 'a venue to share our latest innovations and connect with forward‑thinking builders and traders from across the region'. In tandem with its showcase, BYDFi announced its membership in South Korea's CODE VASP Alliance. The move incorporates full integration of Travel Rule compliance technology, aligning with the nation's Act on Reporting and Using Specific Financial Transaction Information. The exchange says this step strengthens transparency in cross‑platform asset transfers and positions BYDFi as a more secure and regulation‑aligned platform. ADVERTISEMENT According to the company, this initiative forms part of a strategy to build a more unified global compliance framework, elevating industry standards and boosting user confidence. In April, BYDFi launched MoonX at Paris Blockchain Week: a Web3 on‑chain trading platform integrated with Solana and BNB Chain. MoonX features real‑time market data, Smart Money tracking and copy‑trading for memecoin enthusiasts, signalling BYDFi's evolution into a combined CEX‑DEX 'dual‑engine' operator. Its presence at SMW 2025 emphasises this integration of centralised exchange speed with decentralised ecosystem transparency. Founded in 2020, BYDFi serves over one million users in more than 190 countries. In 2025, Forbes named it among the best crypto exchanges and apps for beginners. Its platform spans spot and perpetual contracts, automated bots, copy trading and on‑chain tools, offering multi‑channel support for both novice and experienced traders. Industry analysts note that compliance remains a central challenge for crypto exchanges seeking entry into regulated Asian markets. BYDFi's involvement with CODE VASP and METACON suggests a strategic push to meld technological innovation with regional regulatory adherence. The Travel Rule technology integration is poised to set a precedent for exchanges aiming to enter South Korea's tightly supervised financial landscape. BYDFi's CEX‑DEX model reflects a larger industry trend towards hybrid exchange services, catering to users demanding both liquidity and decentralised autonomy. MoonX's Solana and BNB Chain alignment positions BYDFi in direct competition with other hybrid and on‑chain innovators such as dYdX and PancakeSwap. Critics, however, caution that regulatory alignment alone doesn't guarantee market penetration. Local adoption may depend on factors like fiat on‑ramps, customer support in Korean, and local partnerships. BYDFi's prominent presence at SMW 2025 is a step towards building such ties, but the conversion of awareness into sustained user engagement will be the critical measure of success. Across the exhibition halls at COEX, conversations centred on Web3's real‑world applications—from decentralised identity to token‑based ecosystems. BYDFi's booth became a focal point for these discussions, reinforcing its positioning not just as a trading venue, but as a Web3 infrastructure provider.
