SEOUL, South Korea, Aug. 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LG Display, the world’s leading innovator of display technologies, announced today that it has successfully developed a dream OLED patterning method that is free from the conventional fine metal mask (FMM) process, using its own proprietary technology. Its groundbreaking FMM-less method delivers much greater flexibility in mass production as well as brighter panels with longer lifespan and lower power consumption.

The company will unveil FLiPP (FMM-Less innovative Pixel Patterning) for the first time in the world at the International Meeting on Information Display (IMID) 2026 in Busan, where LG Display will host a dedicated exhibition hall for three days from Aug. 19.

Compared with panels produced using FMMs under identical conditions, FLiPP enables displays to increase brightness by 1.6 times, extend lifespan by 2.4 times, and reduce power consumption by 13%. This is because FLiPP improves the aperture ratio — the proportion of the total display area occupied by RGB pixels — by approximately 55%.

The FMM method adds to manufacturing costs as expensive new FMMs must be produced whenever the panel size or resolution changes. In addition, due to the inherent properties of metal, large masks tend to sag in the center under their own weight, causing misalignment and sometimes resulting in color-mixing defects.

FLiPP eliminates the disadvantages associated with the metal plates used in the FMM process that has been the mainstream OLED manufacturing method for over a decade. The FMM process requires large mother glass substrates, such as 8.6th-generation or other 8th-generation (2,200 × 2,500 mm) substrates, to be divided and processed as half-cut substrates due to the limited size of FMM sticks.

After a year of concentrated R&D, LG Display came up with FLiPP as a new OLED manufacturing paradigm. Unlike the FMM method, which may be compared to a stencil art technique where red, green, and blue (RGB) organic materials are evaporated through tiny holes in metal plates, FLiPP coats RGB pixels in order, secures them in precise positions, and incorporates photolithography — employing precision UV light etching to erase unnecessary areas during OLED pixel patterning.

Leveraging its existing large-sized Tandem WOLED production infrastructure and technical expertise, FLiPP has allowed LG Display to become the first display company to manufacture FMM-less OLEDs using 8.5th-generation mother glass as a single whole piece. Compared to the production of OLED laptop panels of the same size made using FMMs or other FMM-less methods that require divided substrates, FLiPP delivers up to 64% higher mother glass utilization efficiency. As a result, less substrate material is wasted and FLiPP directly translates into higher productivity and lower manufacturing costs.

As the world’s only FMM-less manufacturing process for 8.5th-generation OLED panels, LG Display has filed trademark applications for FLiPP in Korea and key global markets.

The company is strengthening its OLED technology leadership by combining RGB OLED, widely regarded as the most advanced OLED technology available today, with FLiPP, its next-generation innovative manufacturing process, to maximize production flexibility and efficiency.

One of FLiPP’s greatest advantages is that it is free from panel size and resolution constraints. In theory, it can be used to produce displays ranging from 1 inch to 100 inches and can be applied not only to conventional panels but also to VR and AR displays, making it a virtually universal, “ultimate technology.”

Starting with IT applications such as tablets and monitors, it will expand its range of FLiPP-manufactured panels to cover a range of products from 1-inch wearable devices to ultra-large TVs — tailoring products to customer needs.

“We were able to successfully realize FLiPP, a next-generation OLED patterning technology referred to as a ‘dream technology,’ by bringing together our proprietary WOLED technologies and know-how,” said Choi Young-seok, CTO at LG Display. “Through our participation in IMID, we will lead next-generation OLED technologies and accelerate market differentiation.”

Meanwhile, LG Display’s next-generation OLED TV panel driving technology, Hyper Double Scanning (HDS), has been recognized for its technological excellence by winning the IMID “Display of the Year Award.” The award is presented to the most outstanding product among those commercialized each year. LG Display is currently mass-producing its entire lineup of OLED TV panels with HDS and plans to continue leading the global premium TV panel market.

Oil & gas, banking & finance, construction and other digitally dependent industries look to CyberDSA for cybersecurity and digital solutions as the fourth edition returns to this October.

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Aug. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Malaysia’s cybersecurity market is changing, and so are the industries driving demand for it.

Oil & gas operators, banks and financial institutions, telecommunications providers, airlines and other digitally dependent businesses are increasingly making cybersecurity part of operational investment. As AI, cloud infrastructure, automation and connected systems become embedded across industries, the focus has shifted to securing what has already been deployed, protecting the data moving through it and maintaining trust in the systems businesses increasingly depend upon.

These industries are turning their attention to Cyber Digital Services, Defence & Security Asia (CyberDSA) 2026, which returns to the Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Centre, Kuala Lumpur, from 5th to 7th of October 2026.

Now entering its fourth edition, CyberDSA has progressed with the market it serves. What began as a focused cybersecurity platform has developed into an industry-facing exhibition and a full-fledged conference connecting the organisations that need cybersecurity capabilities with the companies developing them, alongside the government, defence and security institutions responsible for Malaysia’s cyber resilience.

Its 2026 theme, “Advancing Secure AI, Strengthening Digital Trust, and Safeguarding Data Sovereignty,” captures where the cybersecurity conversation has moved. AI adoption is already underway, securing it is now the priority. Businesses already operate across complex digital environments; maintaining trust in those systems is becoming critical. And as data moves across clouds, platforms and borders, questions of protection, control and sovereignty are moving higher on both corporate and national agendas.

These are no longer technology questions alone. They are business questions, and the industries confronting them will be at CyberDSA 2026.

CyberDSA’s growing industry profile is also reflected in its sector partnerships. The Malaysian Oil, Gas & Energy Services Council (MOGSC) joins CyberDSA 2026 as a Supporting Partner, connecting the event with the oil, gas and energy services community, where operational technology, connected infrastructure and digital systems make cyber resilience an increasingly important operational requirement.

That commercial relevance is matched by the weight of Malaysia’s cybersecurity and security establishment behind the event.

CyberDSA 2026 brings together the strength of Malaysia’s cybersecurity ecosystem, with the support and engagement of the Ministry of Digital, NACSA, and Leading Organisations CyberSecurity Malaysia.

This year also marks the debut of Digital Intelligence Asia (DIA) 2026, held alongside CyberDSA to extend the marketplace into artificial intelligence, automation, Industry 4.0 and digital intelligence. Focused on practical applications and measurable outcomes, DIA connects industries pursuing smarter operations and digital transformation with the technologies and solution providers capable of delivering them.

Together, CyberDSA and DIA create a broader commercial proposition for industry: securing the digital environments businesses depend on while advancing the intelligence and automation transforming how they operate.

Nadzeem Abdul Rahman, Executive Director of Aerosea Exhibitions Sdn Bhd, the organiser of CyberDSA 2026, said the fourth edition comes at a point when cybersecurity has become inseparable from how industries invest, operate and grow.

“Cybersecurity has become a boardroom, operational and investment issue. Banks, energy operators, infrastructure owners and other major industries are no longer asking whether they need to invest; they are deciding where, how and with whom. CyberDSA puts itself at that point of decision. Industry comes with requirements, technology companies come with capability, and the country’s cyber and digital leadership is part of the same environment. That is where a serious digital marketplace should be, and that is what we’ve built over four editions.”

CyberDSA 2026 is expected to welcome 9,000 trade professionals from 45 countries, 160 participating companies, 100 speakers and more than 55 cyber leaders from 15 nations through its VIP delegation programme.

As industry investment in cybersecurity, AI and digital intelligence accelerates, CyberDSA and DIA are positioning MITEC as the meeting point between those with real operational requirements and the companies with the capability to address them. For technology providers, it is access to the market. For industry, it is access to solutions, expertise and the people shaping what comes next.

Industry professionals and members of the media can now register to attend, while companies looking to exhibit or explore strategic partnerships can engage directly with the Organisers.

FETCi Philippines’ ALPR technology has been adapted to accommodate the variety of car and motorcycle license plate formats used in the Philippines and has consistently achieved a plate recognition accuracy rate of more than 99 percent since launch.

“The successful deployment at SM Southmall marks an important milestone for FETCi Philippines and demonstrates how FETC International’s proven intelligent transportation technology and operational experience can be adapted to the Philippine market,” said Tina Yang, General Manager of FETCi Philippines. “Through our strategic partnership with SynerPark, we are delivering a reliable and scalable smart parking solution that responds to the needs of motorists and property operators while establishing a foundation for broader connected mobility services.”

For motorists with standard license plates, the system enables ticketless entry through automatic vehicle recognition, eliminating the need to collect a physical parking ticket. Customers can pay before exiting through automated payment stations, WebPOS or the SynerPark App, using cash, credit or debit cards, GCash, or Maya.

Within the ecosystem, the SynerPark App serves as a localized digital touchpoint for motorists, supporting digital payments and QR code-based access. The system also accommodates parking benefits for senior citizens and persons with disabilities, while vehicles without standard license plates can use QR codes for entry, payment and exit.

For property operators, an intuitive management dashboard consolidates equipment status, transactions, financial reports and parking data. It enables SM Southmall and SM headquarters to efficiently assess operational performance, reconcile collections and make informed management decisions.

During its first month of operation, the system demonstrated stable performance while supporting more efficient transaction reconciliation and parking revenue management. It processes an average of 4,786 parking transactions on weekdays and 6,842 transactions on weekends and holidays.

The deployment supports 3,574 configured parking spaces for cars, motorcycles and monthly parking customers, with 16 lanes across nine entrances and seven exits. These initial results demonstrate how FETCi Philippines’ intelligent transportation capabilities and SynerPark’s local digital services can operate together in a large-scale commercial environment.

For FETCi Philippines, the project also demonstrates how experience developed in electronic toll collection and intelligent transportation can be applied beyond highways to smart parking, commercial properties and emerging urban mobility applications.
