Company Showcases Anti-fungal and Antibacterial Glass Powder to Global B2B Customers

SEOUL, South Korea, April 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — LG Electronics (LG) is accelerating the global expansion of its advanced materials business with LG PuroTecTM, an antimicrobial glass powder designed for diverse B2B applications. The company is targeting global markets – including across Asia – with this innovative material that offers antibacterial and anti-fungal properties.

At Chinaplas 2025, being held in Shenzhen, Guangdong, China, LG showcased its lineup of PuroTec to the international B2B market. Recognized as one of the world’s leading industrial materials exhibitions, Chinaplas 2025 has brought together over 4,000 companies from around 150 countries to introduce cutting-edge materials across industries such as plastics and rubber.

At the event, LG highlighted the wide applicability of PuroTec to B2B customers, and also introduced diverse use cases in home appliances, construction materials, medical devices and textiles that PuroTec can be applied to.

PuroTec can be blended into materials like plastic, paint and rubber to provide antibacterial and anti-fungal effects that can help prevent odors, contamination and discoloration caused by microorganisms. Even in small quantities, it maintains excellent efficacy and mixes easily with various base materials, enhancing its value across manufacturing sectors.

Building on its long-standing expertise in glass powder technology – originally developed for use in its home appliances – LG is positioning PuroTec as a new pillar of its B2B materials strategy. Since introducing the product in 2023, LG has expanded its presence in Asian markets such as China, Vietnam and India, while securing approximately 420 related patents since 2006.

As part of its global expansion strategy, LG plans to introduce PuroTec in Europe and North America, with a major showcase planned at K 2025 in Düsseldorf, Germany, this October.

In addition to PuroTec, LG continues to invest in the development of advanced materials. A notable example is Marine Glass, a functional, water-soluble glass material designed to help support marine ecosystem restoration. When dissolved, it changes into an inorganic ion state that stimulate the growth of both microalgae and macroalgae – helping to rehabilitate damaged ocean environments.

“We will continue to develop advanced materials that meet the evolving needs of global B2B customers,” said Baek Seung-tae, head of the LG’s Kitchen Solution Business, “These innovative solutions will enable us to expand beyond traditional home appliances and into broader, future-forward industries.”

Tianma, a leading global manufacturer of flat panel displays, will showcase its latest consumer display innovations at SID Display Week 2026, taking place May 5-7 at the Los Angeles Convention Center. Tianma’s consumer display portfolio, featured at Booth 805 in the South Hall, includes a range of AMOLED and LTPS-LCD technologies engineered for next-generation smartphones, wearables, and personal electronic devices. The lineup highlights advancements in OLED material systems, high-efficiency device structures, and high-performance backplanes, supporting improved brightness, lower power consumption, and increasingly compact and flexible product designs.

CHINO, Calif., May 6, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Tianma, a leading global manufacturer of flat panel displays, will showcase its latest consumer display innovations at SID Display Week 2026, taking place May 5-7 at the Los Angeles Convention Center.

Our latest portfolio reflects ongoing advancements in OLED materials, device architecture, and high-performance LCD technologies, enabling brighter, more efficient, and more immersive user experiences across smartphones, wearables, and other personal devices.

Tianma’s consumer display portfolio, featured at Booth 805 in the South Hall, includes a range of AMOLED and LTPS-LCD technologies engineered for next-generation smartphones, wearables, and personal electronic devices. The lineup highlights advancements in OLED material systems, high-efficiency device structures, and high-performance backplanes, supporting improved brightness, lower power consumption, and increasingly compact and flexible product designs.

“Consumer display innovation continues to center on balancing performance, power efficiency, and form factor flexibility,” said Dale Maunu, Director of Marketing, Tianma America. “Our latest portfolio reflects ongoing advancements in OLED materials, device architecture, and high-performance LCD technologies, enabling brighter, more efficient, and more immersive user experiences across smartphones, wearables, and other personal devices.”

Tianma’s key smartphone demonstrations at Display Week 2026 include:

6.78″ SLOD AM-OLED Display – This display utilizes Tianma’s proprietary Stacked Layer OLED Device (SLOD) technology. Unlike traditional tandem-stacked OLED designs, Tianma’s approach introduces a Charge Generation Layer (CGL) with exceptionally low device voltage and a differentiated light-emitting unit. This structure achieves superior luminous efficiency – where one emissive layer, in combination with another, produces more light than two conventional layers. Compared to a single-layer device, power consumption is reduced by 30%, brightness is increased by 25%, and lifespan is extended up to four times, supporting longer battery life and improved durability.

6.58″ U11 AM-OLED Display – This 6.58-inch AM-OLED display adopts Tianma’s U11 OLED stack, featuring NFT (New Fluorescent Technology) based on New Fluorescent Blue (NFB) and Phosphor-Sensitized Fluorescence (PSF). The NFT device structure improves exciton utilization efficiency, addressing limitations of conventional OLED emitters. Compared with the previous generation, U11 reduces overall power consumption by approximately 12% while doubling lifespan. Optimized RGB spectrum and light-extraction design also enable an ultra-low blue-light ratio while maintaining high efficiency.

6.32″ Ultra-high Refresh Rate AM-OLED Display – This 6.32-inch FSD (Full Screen Display) AM-OLED integrates a 240Hz refresh rate with a dual-track pixel driving architecture to overcome the traditional trade-off between speed and precision. By separating data writing and TFT threshold compensation, the design enables stable and accurate pixel driving at high refresh rates. Extended compensation time (0.6µs to 6µs) preserves low-gray detail, reduces motion artifacts, and improves image stability.

6.9″ Creaseless AM-OLED Display – This foldable 6.9-inch AM-OLED minimizes both visual crease and tactile discontinuity through an optimized module stack and fold structure. The design incorporates an ultra-thin stack, ultra-low loss adhesive materials, water-drop bending architecture, and multi-layer stress optimization. A dual-coating UTG structure further reduces deformation and improves rebound performance at the fold.

Together, these demonstrations highlight Tianma’s expanding role in enabling next-generation handheld display applications, combining advanced materials, OLED device innovation, and high-performance LCD technologies to support more efficient, immersive, and adaptable experiences across smartphones, wearables, and personal electronic devices.

More information about the innovative new display solutions being displayed by Tianma is available at Booth 805 at Display Week and in the Tianma press kits, accessible online at usa.tianma.com/press. Visit usa.tianma.com for more details.
