Better Health for All

LG Display's OLED technology demonstrates a substantial positive health impact, with OLED panels emitting 36% blue light compared to 70-80% from LCDs, representing a 50% reduction.

A clinical study with 40 adults showed melatonin levels increased by 8.1% after OLED viewing, while decreasing by 2.7% after LCD viewing, indicating improved sleep quality. The company exhibits industry-leading risk transparency by publicly disclosing these findings and obtaining numerous third-party certifications for eye comfort, low blue light, flicker-free, reflection-free, and circadian rhythm friendliness from organizations like TÜV Rheinland, Eyesafe, UL Solutions, and Intertek. LG Display began dedicated blue light research in 2019. The company's operations are not applicable to pharmaceutical patent flexibility, nutrition and food safety, or addiction mitigation.
