LG Innotek Hosts 'Thermoelectric Semiconductor Tech Forum'
Published2018.05.28 20:38LG Innotek announced that it will hold the 'Thermoelectric Semiconductor Tech Forum' on June 20 at LG Science Park in Magok, Gangseo-gu, Seoul. The purpose is to share the latest information to promote the utilization of thermoelectric semiconductor technology and to create opportunities for cooperation with various companies and institutions.
Thermoelectric semiconductor technology is an innovative technology that implements cooling and heating functions by supplying power to semiconductors, and conversely, generates electricity using temperature differences. It allows for simple temperature control without refrigerants or heating wires, and is environmentally friendly as it can recover waste heat and recycle it into electrical energy.
This technology is primarily utilized in household appliances such as small refrigerators and hot/cold water dispensers, as well as in vehicle air conditioning systems. Recently, its application has expanded to cooling devices for large appliances and medical equipment, as well as to waste heat power generation for automobiles, ships, and factories.
The theme of LG Innotek's 'Thermoelectric Semiconductor Tech Forum' is 'Eco-friendly & Convenient life created with thermoelectric technology.' The company explains that attendees will come to understand the value of thermoelectric semiconductors, which can innovate the convenience and design of finished products and enhance their eco-friendly advantages.
At this forum, experts including Dr. Park Su-dong, Principal Researcher at the Thermoelectric Technology Research Center of the Korea Electrotechnology Research Institute (and President of the Korean Thermoelectric Society), and Professor Lee Kyu-hyung of the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Yonsei University will present on technological trends and application fields. In addition, key industry representatives from home appliances, automobiles, and shipbuilding will appear to introduce vivid examples of how these technologies are actually being utilized in the field.
In addition, LG Innotek plans to announce its future R&D roadmap at this forum, along with thermoelectric semiconductor solutions internalized through proprietary technology ranging from materials to devices and modules. An exhibition booth will also be set up so that participants can examine the products firsthand.
A company official said, “This forum will be an opportunity to glimpse the value and future potential of eco-friendly thermoelectric semiconductor technology.”

LG Innotek: "Will Become World's No. 1 in UV LED through Proprietary Technology and Cooperation with SMEs"
"UV LED is an innovative light source that can make our lives cleaner and safer, improving quality of life," said Park Jong-seok, president of LG Innotek, at a press conference held at the LG Seoul Station Building. LG Innotek has developed UV LEDs for sterilization with optical output of 150 milliwatts (mW) this year. Based on this, the company plans to introduce 200mW-class products next year and take a leading role in expanding the UV LED market. UV LED is an advanced semiconductor light source that emits ultraviolet rays and eliminates bacteria, fungi, and viruses depending on wavelength. Additionally, it has the characteristic of reacting chemically with special materials, and can be used in surface sterilization of water and air, medical/biotech, and curing/exposure equipment.

LG Innotek reports slight year-on-year increase in Q1 driven by expansion of high-end components
LG Innotek recorded a slight increase in sales for the first quarter compared to the same period of the previous year. Operating profit declined due to the entry into the off-season and increased expenses from future-oriented investments. Under Korean International Financial Reporting Standards (K-IFRS), LG Innotek recorded sales of 1.7205 trillion won and operating profit of 16.8 billion won for the first quarter of 2018. Sales increased 4.6% year-over-year, while operating profit decreased 74.8%. Compared to the previous quarter, sales declined 40% and operating profit decreased 88.1%. A company official stated, "Sales increased due to expanded high-end components such as dual camera modules compared to the same period last year," and added, "Operating profit declined as we expanded investments including production capacity expansion for core businesses, while entering a distinct seasonal off-season, and there was also an impact from won strength."
