LG Innotek announced that its new ‘Ultra Thin Pixel Lighting Module’ has received a CES 2026 Innovation Award, marking the second consecutive year the company’s automotive lighting technology has been recognized. The new module is designed with a silicone-based reflective optical component, replacing conventional plastic lenses and reflectors. This approach reduces the module’s thickness by 71% and weight significantly, while improving luminous efficiency by 30%. The flexible silicone structure enables new design possibilities for curved and compact vehicle surfaces such as front grilles and bumpers.
The reduced pixel size and increased density allow for finer lighting resolution and improved visibility. The module also supports text, images, and animated lighting effects, enhancing vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication. This capability allows vehicles to display messages or symbols externally, improving interaction and safety. LG Innotek plans to begin mass production of the new lighting module in the second half of 2027.
At CES 2026, the company will present the Ultra Thin Pixel Lighting Module alongside other next-generation automotive lighting, sensing, and communication solutions for advanced driver assistance systems (AD/ADAS). CEO Moon Hyuksoo emphasized LG Innotek’s focus on expanding its automotive technology offerings to global markets including Europe and Japan.
