LG Innotek introduced on Nov. 6, that it has received the ‘CES (Client Electronics Present) 2026’ Innovation Award for its newly developed ‘Extremely-Slim Pixel Lighting Module’ for autos.
LG Innotek achieved the exceptional feat of profitable the CES Innovation Award for car lighting options for 2 consecutive years, as soon as once more proving its world-class car lighting expertise. Beforehand, LG Innotek obtained the Innovation Award at CES 2025 for its product (‘NexSlide A+’) that was the primary within the business to use floor gentle supply expertise to car entrance lighting.
The ‘Extremely-Slim Pixel Lighting Module’ being launched for the primary time at CES 2026 is characterised by dramatically diminished thickness, measurement, and weight.
Present car lighting modules had a construction with LED and plastic lenses or reflective optical elements in-built, inevitably making the modules heavy and ponderous. To get rid of these drawbacks, LG Innotek independently developed reflective optical elements utilizing white silicone materials for the primary time within the business.
Designed with a construction that maximizes the light-reflecting traits of white, this part alone can obtain uniform brightness. There isn’t a longer a have to moreover set up plastic lenses or separate elements for gentle reflection.
The ‘Extremely-Slim Pixel Lighting Module’ incorporating this part has a thickness of 3mm, which is 71% thinner than present merchandise. The product’s weight has additionally been considerably diminished as a result of diminished thickness. However, gentle effectivity has improved by 30% in comparison with present merchandise.
This module is product of skinny and versatile silicone materials, making it bendable. Accordingly, it permits the design of varied formed car lighting reminiscent of curves, and permits lighting to be utilized to positions that have been technically troublesome to put in, reminiscent of car entrance grilles or bumpers.
An LG Innotek official stated, “This can be a car lighting module that not solely considerably will increase design freedom for automotive prospects but additionally contributes to gasoline effectivity enchancment via part weight discount,” including “Using silicone materials can even enormously cut back the chance of pedestrian harm from influence or particles within the occasion of site visitors accidents.”
Moreover, the ‘Extremely-Slim Pixel Lighting Module’ developed by LG Innotek has pixels which might be diminished to 1/4 the dimensions of present ones. The denser and extra quite a few the pixels, the upper the decision of car lighting and the higher the visibility.
Moreover, LG Innotek’s ‘Extremely-Slim Pixel Lighting Module’ is a product that has superior the V2X (Car to Every thing) communication perform of car lighting. It will possibly transmit every thing from primary textual content to photographs in excessive definition via car lighting. Animation results are additionally supported.
For instance, in emergency conditions, the inner car state of affairs may be communicated to the skin utilizing lettering features, or customized emoticons may be displayed to specific the driving force’s persona.
LG Innotek is actively conducting promotions focusing on world prospects with the aim of first mass manufacturing of the ‘Extremely-Slim Pixel Lighting Module’ within the second half of 2027.
CEO Moon Hyuk-soo stated, “LG Innotek has as soon as once more confirmed its world top-level car lighting innovation expertise via profitable the CES 2026 Innovation Award,” including “We are going to proceed to introduce new car lighting module merchandise that present differentiated buyer worth and develop market share past North America to Europe and Japan.”
In the meantime, LG Innotek plans to showcase the ‘Extremely-Slim Pixel Lighting Module’ together with next-generation car lighting modules and the most recent sensing and communication elements for AD/ADAS at CES 2026, which will likely be held in January subsequent yr.
