LG Display holds first-ever company-wide tech workshop 'TechX' under Jeong Cheol-dong

LG Display is holding its first-ever company-wide display technology workshop, "TechX," this year to share the values of a technology-driven company with all employees.

Having chosen "technology competition" as its strategy to fend off Chinese rivals, LG Display plans to make TechX a regular event so that a culture of challenge and innovation can take root across the organization.

According to LG Display, the inaugural TechX runs Wednesday through Friday, centered on the Paju campus. The main programs are an R&D Forum, an AX Squad Championship, an Insight Seminar and a Tech Trip.

The event reflects the philosophy of President and CEO Jeong Cheol-dong, who has long championed the company's transformation into a technology-first organization.

Jeong earlier made the bold decision to scale back the liquid crystal display business and concentrate on OLED, a higher-value product, and has since focused on securing future competitiveness through R&D investment.

Jeong has repeatedly told employees that "a technology-driven company must constantly challenge what others won't attempt — things that are harder to do," adding that "the greatest competitive edge comes from creating new value through technology that only we can deliver."

The R&D Forum will showcase 57 products and technologies incorporating LG Display's proprietary innovations, along with more than 30 award-winning and presented research posters from leading global academic conferences.

The AX Squad Championship will select and recognize outstanding examples of AI-driven workplace improvement projects developed by employees across the company. An AX Stage will also feature cases of AI agent-based work innovation and AI simulation-based technology innovation.

The Insight Seminar will feature Kim Hyeon-jae, secretary general of the Society for Information Display, who will outline the future direction of display technology. Lee Sun-young, a lab director at LG AI Research, will deliver a lecture on "the present and future of AX."

At LG Display's Magok campus, a Tech Trip program will give employees a hands-on look at products incorporating the company's differentiated technologies.

LG Display used the event to introduce its next-generation OLED patterning technology, FLiPP (FMM-Less innovative Pixel Patterning), to all employees for the first time, sharing the innovation's value and building company-wide understanding of the technology roadmap that will strengthen LG Display's competitiveness.
