Participating in the world's largest electronics components exhibition from the 8th to the 11th
Over 50 types of automotive, IoT, mobile, and LED components on display

LG Innotek (CEO Park Jong-seok) participated in 'Electronica 2016', which is being held in Munich, Germany for four days from the 8th (local time) to the 11th.

Electronica is the world's largest electronic components exhibition, with over 2,700 companies from more than 50 countries participating in the materials and components sector and approximately 70,000 visitors.

At this exhibition, LG Innotek set up three experience zones—Automotive, Smart, and LED—and showcased about 50 types of innovative components, including automotive parts, Internet of Things (IoT) and mobile components, and LEDs for lighting.

LG Innotek exhibited key components for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), such as automotive camera modules and communication modules, in the Automotive Zone. This was done with the European market, where smart car development is in full swing, in mind.

The camera module for the Around View Monitor (AVM) is a product that minimizes image distortion by utilizing the company's world-class optical technology. It delivers clear HD-quality image, making it easy to assess the surroundings of the vehicle.

The V2X module has garnered attention as a key component for integrating Internet of Things technology into automobiles, with a communication range of over 1km. This product is easy to install because the RF (Radio Frequency) chip, baseband chip, and processor are compactly integrated into a single module.

In addition, LG Innotek showcased radar modules that determine the distance and speed of surrounding vehicles, 3G/4G modules for telematics that connect vehicles with mobile communication services, and Bluetooth modules.

High-efficiency electric vehicle components, such as DC-DC converters and EV charging communication controllers (EVCCs), also attracted attention. This demonstrated the market's interest in electric vehicles.

In addition, LG Innotek showcased the world's first flexible LED surface light source module for automotive front and rear lamps and a high-reliability automotive LED package. These products received a positive response from European customers due to their diverse designs.

In addition, the company exhibited a variety of products ranging from flagship products such as braking (ABS, ESC) and steering (EPS) motors, motors for intelligent headlight systems (AFLS), and torque angle sensors (TAS), to next-generation components such as wireless charging modules, thermoelectric modules, and rain sensors.

Experience smart components integrating the latest technologies, such as IoT sensors.

LG Innotek garnered significant attention at the Smart Zone by showcasing smart sensors for IoT. Visitors were able to experience firsthand smart home sensors, such as those for door opening and motion detection, radar modules that detect movement and respiration, and gas sensors that detect gas concentration and composition.

The company exhibited a fiber-type flexible pressure sensor that can be rolled up like clothing fabric and detects pressure across the entire sensor surface. It can be installed in medical devices, automobiles, etc., to provide customized services based on the user's health condition or driving environment.

In addition, key components for smart devices, such as communication modules utilizing world-class wireless communication technology like Zigbee and LTE, and ultra-slim High Frequency Identification (HDI) boards for mobile devices, greeted visitors.

LG Innotek showcased lighting and industrial LEDs, including high-efficiency, high-output LED packages, DOB LED modules, and eco-friendly UV LEDs.

The DOB LED module integrates the LED and power supply onto a single printed circuit board, eliminating the need for a separate power supply. It increases luminous efficiency and allows for easy brightness adjustment, thereby reducing eye strain.

UVC LEDs for hygiene purposes, such as sterilization and purification, and UVA LEDs for curing and industrial applications boast world-class performance and reliability. European customers who prioritize light quality have shown significant interest.

Along with this, they unveiled a cutting-edge communication solution called Visible Light Communication (VLC). This product enables the implementation of an IoT environment without a communication modem by transmitting and receiving data using visible light emitted by LEDs.

"This exhibition is a stage to identify trends in the materials and components market and to discuss business with major global companies," said an LG Innotek official. "It is an opportunity to showcase our business competitiveness to the global market through innovative products that combine cutting-edge technologies."
