LG Unveils World’s Largest Automotive Display at CES 2024
LG showcased its latest innovation in automotive technology at CES 2024 with the introduction of the “57-inch Pillar-to-Pillar (P2P) LCD,” which the company claims is the world’s largest automotive display. Unlike the typical infotainment displays found in cars today, this display extends over the entire width of the windshield, providing both the driver and passenger with a panoramic view of entertainment and information.
The touch display is curved with a 3,500-millimeter curvature radius and can withstand extreme temperatures ranging from -40°C to 85°C. While details on resolution are not provided, LG assures that the content displayed is in high definition.
In addition to the massive windshield display, LG also announced a 32-inch slidable OLED display designed to cater to rear-seat passengers. This display is hidden in the ceiling and can be extended downward when needed. With a resolution of 2,560×1,440 pixels, the curved touch display ensures an immersive viewing experience for passengers.
These groundbreaking displays were showcased alongside smaller ones in three concept cars at CES 2024, giving attendees a glimpse into the future of car interiors. LG envisions the front display being used for video conferencing, similar to what is currently offered in Tesla cars but on a larger scale. The OLED display in the back provides rear passengers with the ability to work or enjoy entertainment during their journey.
While LG has not provided a specific timeline for when these displays will be available in production cars, the company has stated that it is ramping up production to meet the increasing demand for automotive displays larger than 30 inches. Production has already begun at LG’s plant in Gumi, Korea, and mass production is expected to start at its plant in Paju, Korea, after 2025.
With these impressive displays, LG is pushing the boundaries of in-car entertainment and information systems. As technology continues to advance, we can expect to see more immersive and interactive displays in the cars of the future.
