LG Display Becomes First Automotive OLED Maker To Receive Cybersecurity Certification

LG Display has just become the first automotive display manufacturer to receive a cybersecurity certification, affirming its readiness for the era of Software-Defined Vehicles (SDVs).

The company was awarded the Cybersecurity Assurance Program Certificate for ISO-SAE 21434:2021 (Road Vehicles – Cybersecurity Engineering) by UL Solutions. This global standard verifies that automotive suppliers have established robust processes to manage cybersecurity risks across the entire product lifecycle, spanning development, production, supply, and disposal. The certification applies to LG Display’s latest Automotive OLED products, which are scheduled for mass production next year.

LG Display proactively sought this certification to demonstrate its commitment to safety and differentiated customer value in the automotive and mobility markets. The company underwent rigorous verification, ensuring its displays are designed to resist hacking from the initial development stage and incorporating circuit-level security enhancements during production. This achievement is expected to significantly boost the company’s global competitiveness in product bids.

The milestone is the culmination of a year-long effort to establish a dedicated cybersecurity organization and continuously enhance its security capabilities for user safety. As the automotive industry shifts toward SDVs, cybersecurity certifications are becoming increasingly vital, particularly in regions like Europe, where regulatory requirements are extending from automakers to component suppliers. Automotive displays are critical in this context, serving as the main interface for instrument clusters, navigation, and media systems.

The Head of LG Display’s Auto Business Group, Kwon Keuk-sang, stated that this initiative reflects the company’s commitment to promptly responding to customer needs and solidifying its leadership in the premium automotive display market.
