LG Display’s High-End Laptop Panels Certified for Reducing Carbon Emissions

LG Display announced that its high-end 14-inch laptop panels have been certified for reducing carbon emissions and validated for containing bio-based materials.

The company confirmed that the panels have become the first displays to receive Product Carbon Reduction (PCR) certification from TUV Rheinland, a leading global independent testing, inspection and certification body.

This recognition underscores LG Display’s active participation in global carbon reduction efforts and its proactive response to growing demand for eco-friendly products.

The company has reduced carbon emissions generated through its 14-inch laptop panels’ production, use, and disposal by around 8%. It achieved this by introducing a number of new technologies, including expanding the use of environmentally friendly components, increasing circuit integration through micro-processing to raise energy efficiency, and developing low-power algorithms.

Moreover, LG Display obtained Environmental Claim Validation (ECV) from global safety science organization UL Solutions for the panels’ bio-based content.

The company was recognized for enhancing the eco-friendliness of its 14-inch laptop panels by using discarded sugarcane by-products to incorporate more biodegradable biomass plastic parts.

“We will continue to lead the high-end IT panel market by providing differentiated value to customers who want products that offer both outstanding performance, such as high resolution and a high refresh rate, as well as eco-friendly factors,” said Jeong-ki Park, SVP and head of Medium Display Development Group at LG Display.
