When the electric vehicle first rolled out from the factory floor many were concerned on the battery power on the cars and how much mileage they can output. Cell technology has leaped in folds since then, now with a single charge on a Tesla the car can give you approximately 900 km. Instead of looking at squeezing more from the cell, LG wants to see how it can help save and reduce consumption.
The company has been already working with well known car brands in the EV space and has now designed an OLED rear lamp than can be more compact than conventional lighting modules thanks to the lack of a backlight unit and up to 85 to 90 percent smaller than typical rear lamps. Used in mobile devices with even the latest iPhone X opting for the technology presumably for its vivid colour reproduction and cooler temperament which results in improved durability and longevity.
LG is in works with General Motors on the Chevrolet Bolt EV, in which the company is already supplying a total of 11 components and systems, including electric drive motors, power invertor modules, battery cells and high power distribution modules. It seems LG is driving business towards the automotive segment after playing second fiddle in the mobile segment and aims to capture a chunk of the new business before rival Samsung starts swimming in the waters.
