LG Display Wins Top Patent Award for Slimmer OLED TV Bezels

What happened

LG Display announced on Nov. 10 that it received the King Sejong Award, the top honor at the 2026 Patent Technology Awards organized by the Ministry of Intellectual Property, for its patent covering a highly integrated gate driving circuit for OLED TVs. The technology reduces OLED TV bezel width by approximately 34%: on a 65-inch OLED TV, bezel width decreases from 6.5mm to 4.3mm. Technically, LG Display consolidated redundant circuits in conventional GIP designs into shared core circuits, reducing the number of transistors in the circuit by 74% and the GIP area by approximately 40%. The technology has been applied to all OLED TV panels ranging from 42 to 97 inches since 2022, cumulative mass production has reached 28.3 million units, and it has generated cumulative cost improvements of approximately 385 billion won to date. Since last year, LG Display has also been expanding its application to OLED panels for gaming monitors.
