Published2017.05.24 17:23Strategic Smartphone LG G6, etc.
LG Electronics participated in the World IT Show 2017, the nation's largest IT exhibition held at COEX in Samseong-dong starting on the 24th, showcasing a wide range of strategic products. The company displayed the LG Signature OLED TV W, Super Ultra HD TV with nanocell technology applied, and strategic smartphone LG G6.
The LG Signature OLED TV W received the Presidential Award at the 24th Korea Multimedia Technology Awards ceremony held at the venue on the morning of the 24th. LG Electronics HE Business Division Head Vice President Kwon Bong-seok attended the awards ceremony. This product is a TV with a wallpaper design that becomes one with the wall. At installation, the thickness is 4mm (based on 65-inch model). It implements minimalist design by excluding elements other than the display.
To complete the wallpaper design, LG Electronics separated all components and speakers except the screen into a separate 'Innovation Stage'. The Innovation Stage features a 4.2-channel speaker system including 4 general speakers and 2 subwoofers.
This product supports Dolby ATMOS, an advanced spatial audio system from U.S. company Dolby. Dolby ATMOS creates vivid spatial audio where sound appears to come from in front, behind, or above the user depending on the movement or position of objects on screen. For example, when an airplane flies over the protagonist's head, the sound is heard from above the viewer's head, providing a more three-dimensional and realistic sense of space.
LG Electronics exhibited premium TVs including 'Ultra OLED TV' and 'Super Ultra HD TV'. The LG Ultra OLED TV emits light on its own without a backlight, achieving natural color quality and clear blacks. Additionally, OLED technology has no light leakage, so viewers see no color distortion from any viewing angle.
The Super Ultra HD TV equipped with nanocell technology is the top-tier LCD TV lineup that enhances color accuracy and color reproduction. It is a technology that utilizes molecular structures approximately 1 nanometer (nm) in size. Ultra-fine molecules precisely adjust color wavelengths to express more accurate colors.
The OLED wallpaper signage displays a design that becomes one with the wall upon installation, enabling sophisticated presentations of a different dimension. The OLED open frame signage can have curvature applied customized for various installation sites. For example, curvature can be adjusted so the product does not lift even on slightly curved stadium walls.
OLED signage has no backlight, making it thinner than conventional LCD and allowing production of curved shaped structures. In particular, unlike LCD, it has no light leakage and delivers accurate colors without distortion from any viewing angle, making it suitable for signage production.
LG Electronics also exhibited the Ultra Stretch, an LCD signage with excellent space utilization. This product features an 86-inch 58:9 aspect ratio and 88-inch 32:9 aspect ratio, allowing extended use in horizontal or vertical directions. It is suitable for places requiring display of large amounts of information at once, such as signage in airports, subways, banks, and digital advertising displays in retail stores.
LG Electronics showcased various monitor lineups including the 34-inch 'LG Ultra Wide Gaming Monitor (model: 34UC89G)' with 21:9 aspect ratio and the 32-inch 'LG 4K HDR Monitor (model: 32UD99)'. LG Electronics' 21:9 aspect ratio monitors have maintained the number one sales position for four consecutive years since 2013.
In addition, the notebook 'Gram All Day' offering up to 24 hours of use on a single charge, portable speakers combining portability and design, the portable photo printer 'Pocket Photo' capable of printing photos taken on smartphones, the 'Tone Plus Studio' featuring four external speakers and vibration function, and the completely wireless earphone type 'Tone Plus Free' and other strategic IT products are on display.
LG Electronics also set up an experience zone where visitors can directly experience the strategic smartphone 'LG G6'. The LG G6 has received favorable reviews for its differentiated advantages including ▲18:9 aspect ratio 5.7-inch 'FullVision Display' ▲more advanced 'front and rear wide-angle cameras' with high pixel density even for wide landscapes ▲new 'Hi-Fi Quad DAC' ▲sleek design with no camera bump.
In particular, the 'LG G6' is attracting attention for its outstanding durability sufficient for military operations and excellent quality including battery safety that has undergone verification much more rigorous than international standards. It passed a total of 14 U.S. Department of Defense approved tests including drops, high and low temperatures, humidity, thermal shock, and salt spray, obtaining the military standard specification 'MIL-STD 810G'.

From KT 5G to various IoT technologies, you can find them at WIS 2017
KT는 24일부터 27일까지 나흘간 코엑스(COEX)에서 열리는 국내 최대 정보통신박람회 ‘월드IT쇼 2017(이하 WIS 2017)’에 참가해 ‘미리 보는 평창 5G’ 주제로 전시관을 선보인다. KT는 이번 전시에서 ▲5G 네트워크 존(5G Network Zone) ▲융합 서비스 존(Convergence Service Zone) 등 총 2개 존으로 전시관을 구성했다. 전시관 입구에는 ‘5G 네트워크’ 존을 구성하고 KT 무선가입자들을 위한 스마트폰 배터리 소모 절감 기술인 C-DRX(Connected mode Discontinuous Reception)를 배치했다. KT 무선가입자들은 C-DRX를 통해 스마트폰 배터리 이용시간이 최대 45% 증대되는 효과를 누릴 수 있다. C-DRX는 데이터 사용 시 항상 연결 상태가 되어 배터리를 소모하던 기존의 방식을 개선해, 송수신이 없을 때는 통신 기능을 꺼 둠으로써 배터리 소모를 절감하는 방식이다. 전시장 내에서 관람객은 홀로렌즈의 MR을 통해 상세 설명을 들으며 KT 무선 가입자 전체가 1초당 절감하는 전력을 활용한 수천 개의 LED 전구로 눈 내리는 겨울을 형상화한 미디어 파사드를 감상할 수 있다. 미디어 파사드를 통과하면 5G 기술을 만나볼 수 있다. 평창 5G 규격 기반의 속도, 커버리지, 장비를 소개하며 부스 중앙의 디오라마를 통해 5G 기술에 대한 증강현실(AR) 설명도 함께 제공한다. ‘융합 서비스’ 존 전면에는 관람객들이 KT의 5G 서비스를 다양한 동계 스포츠를 즐기며 실감나게 체험할 수 있는 VR 기구를 갖췄다. 루지와 알파인 스키, 봅슬레이, 피겨스케이팅 등 다양한 VR 기구들을 통해 관람객들이 5G 서비스를 체험할 수 있다.

The Problem with AI is Not Performance, but Trust
CEO Kang Min-seung emphasized at Snowflake's World Tour Seoul that generative AI has entered a phase where "trust" rather than accuracy becomes the key competitive advantage. As AI is applied to various tasks including consultation, risk management, and operational automation, incorrect data, erroneous responses, and bias are creating actual business risks. He pointed out that enterprises must build a trust layer above AI. To achieve this, accurate data management, semantic structuring, governance, and prompt security are essential. He explained that AI is not merely an automation tool but a technology that reorganizes the entire organization's workflows and decision-making systems. Snowflake provides a platform that supports this trust-based AI operation, emphasizing that enterprises should build "trustworthy AI" rather than "intelligent AI."

The Decisive Factor for AI Agents in Finance: "Trustworthy Data Infrastructure"
The key to spreading AI agents in the financial sector is establishing a trustworthy data system. KB Kookmin Bank is operating over 100 AI agents by 2025 and is promoting expansion to 300. AI is automating repetitive tasks across various areas such as consultation, risk management, wealth management, and relationship management. However, if data quality, governance, and semantic structuring are insufficient, errors and risks increase. KB is building an AI-Ready organization through a multi-model strategy of GPT, Gemini, and Claude, as well as a Snowflake-based data system. The bank emphasized that AI has entered a phase where it restructures not just simple automation but the entire work process and decision-making system.
