LG Display has begun mass production of a new laptop panel that uses its Oxide 1Hz technology, allowing the display to switch automatically between a 1 Hz refresh rate for static content and up to 120 Hz for dynamic content. The technology is engineered to cut power consumption by up to 48 % compared with existing solutions, extending battery life in AI‑heavy computing environments.
The panels will be supplied to Dell for its flagship XPS lineup, which debuted at CES 2026, and LG Display plans to start production of a 1Hz OLED panel using the same technology in 2027, further expanding its high‑margin OLED portfolio.
The launch is part of LG Display’s “Carbon Emission Reduction Project,” which aims to reduce product usage‑phase emissions by up to 10 %, and signals a strategic shift toward high‑margin, high‑technology products in the medium‑size panel business.
Jae‑won Jang, Head of LG Display’s Medium Display Product Planning Division, said, "We will deliver differentiated customer value through a 1‑120Hz variable refresh rate that integrates world class technology. This unique value includes maximizing laptop battery efficiency for consumer convenience in the AI era."
By offering a variable‑refresh‑rate solution, LG Display seeks to capture a share of the growing laptop market that demands both high performance and energy efficiency, positioning itself against competitors such as Samsung Display and BOE in the high‑end PC segment and supporting its broader OLED‑centric growth strategy.
The move is expected to strengthen LG Display’s competitive position in the laptop display market and reinforce its trajectory toward profitability, following a return to profit in 2025 after years of losses and a 65 % share of revenue from OLED products in Q4 2025.
