Tech Pundits Honor Cutting-Edge LG Innovation & design, confirm brand’s position as global technology leader

LG Electronics (LG) won an unprecedented 41 awards at the 2015 International CES®, led by LG’s show-stopping G Flex2 smartphone, stunning flat and curved 4K OLED TVs and revolutionary TWIN™ Wash System with mini washer. LG earned accolades from Engadget, USA Today/Reviewed.com and Digital Trends, among many others, as well as 10 CES Innovation Awards from the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA)® across multiple home entertainment, home appliance and mobile device categories. CEA also named LG the 4K Ultra HD Partner of International CES 2015.

Commenting on the achievement, Managing Director, LG Electronics West Africa operations, Mr. Seonghak Kim said: “We are extremely proud to be receiving these awards; it is feels great to realize that consumers appreciate what we put into our products. These 41 awards are a confirmation of our commitment to delighting consumers worldwide. For us at LG Electronics, this is a worthy recognition for our continuous hard work as well as Research and Development in our quest to satisfy consumers- meeting their peculiar needs and demands. With LG being the only company to effectively offer consumers the full gamut of choice across all forms of large-screen TV technology – that includes LCD(LED backlight), OLED, 4K Ultra HD, Curved, and most recently 4K OLED, consumers have come to expect leading edge offerings from the brand.

LG still uses LCD for many mobile devices including G3 and tablets, increasingly, we are seeing the company’s use of Plastic OLED for mobile devices. P-OLED screens, which are used in G-Flex smartphones, are thinner and lighter than OLED screens built using glass; they are far less complex in design, and are more eco-friendly. The plastic cover is also considerably tougher than glass, and won’t shatter in the event of a sharp impact. “At the heart of all of our products is our promise of delivering innovation for a better life,” said William Cho, president and CEO, LG Electronics USA.

“That promise is the foundation of scores of new LG products unveiled during a remarkable week in Las Vegas. This recognition validates our commitment to excellence, and inspires us to continue raising the standard for innovation in 2015 and beyond.”
