LG's major affiliates, including LG Electronics, LG Innotek, and LG Display, announced on November 10 that their key products had won numerous awards at the CES 2027 Innovation Awards. The Consumer Technology Association (CTA) selects innovative products and services from among the entries and presents the CES Innovation Awards ahead of CES, which opens each January in Las Vegas, United States.

LG Electronics won a total of eight innovation awards, including one Best of Innovation award, further cementing its standing as a home appliance powerhouse. The product that drew the most attention was the LG SIGNATURE OLED T, the world's first transparent wireless TV. It won Best of Innovation in the Art Tech category, marking the company's second consecutive year receiving the top honor. With this win, LG OLED TVs set a record of winning the CES Best of Innovation Award for five consecutive years, following the LG OLED Flex in 2023, LG Wireless OLED TV in 2024, LG OLED evo in 2025, and LG SIGNATURE OLED T in 2026. The achievement is seen as further reinforcing LG's standing as the world's No. 1 OLED TV brand for 13 consecutive years since it first brought OLED TVs to market in 2013.

The LG SIGNATURE OLED T is an innovative product that combines transparent OLED technology with 4K wireless audio and video (AV) signal transmission and reception. With a simple press of the remote control, users can switch freely between Transparent Screen Mode, which allows them to see clearly through the space behind the screen, and Black Screen Mode, which delivers the traditional picture quality of a 77-inch 4K OLED TV. Transparent Mode maximizes the sense of openness and provides a viewing experience akin to augmented reality (AR), while Black Mode offers an immersive experience with high-quality content such as movies and games.

In the Video Displays category, the LG SIGNATURE OLED W, an ultra-large wireless Wallpaper TV, won an Innovation Award. Its core components, including the panel, main board, and speakers, feature an ultra-slim design, while wireless transmission technology minimizes connecting cables so the TV blends into its surroundings. It also brings together Agentic AI, which understands customers' preferences and context before making suggestions, and Hyper Radiant Color picture quality technology.

LG Electronics' gaming monitors and premium home appliances also won Innovation Awards. In the Gaming&eSports category, the LG UltraGear Gaming Monitor received an award. It is the world's first monitor to deliver both an ultra-high refresh rate of 1,000 hertz (Hz) and Full HD (FHD, 1920x1080) resolution, providing an optimal gaming environment for players who need extremely fast response times and smooth transitions between frames.

In the Home Appliances category, products featuring distinctive technologies and customer-friendly conveniences made the list of award winners. The LG WashTower, equipped with AI Wash and AI Dry functions and a hidden-hinge design that improves space efficiency; the LG Hair Dryer, featuring distinctive airflow control technology; and the LG SIGNATURE Wall Oven, which combines precise heating performance and a premium design with AI features, all won Innovation Awards.

LG Innotek won an Innovation Award for its next-generation flexible automotive lighting module, Nexlide C+, marking its third consecutive year of CES Innovation Award wins from 2025 through 2027. Nexlide is a surface-emitting light source that produces uniform illumination by combining LG Innotek's proprietary optical design with new materials technology. LG Innotek holds more than 700 related patents. The award-winning Nexlide C+ delivers a 3D Multi-Effect, displaying two or more three-dimensional images from a single module. Depending on the viewing angle, a diagonal pattern is visible from the left and a vertical 3D graphic pattern from the right, enhancing the visual appeal of taillights, front grille lighting, and interior mood lighting.

At 3 mm or less thick, its ultra-slim structure greatly expands automakers' design flexibility. It is the first in the world to use directional-angle film and 3D micro-optic pattern film, eliminating components such as lenses and reflectors that previously added bulk to lighting. LG Innotek plans to step up promotions to global automakers, targeting a launch next year.

LG Display highlighted its presence as a technology-driven company by winning an Innovation Award for Real Face Display, the world's first solution developed specifically for humanoid robots in the era of physical AI. Real Face Display projects lifelike expressions onto a form resembling a real human face, minimizing the peculiar and alienating impression often created by existing humanoid robots.

Without adding physical hardware or changing the structure, software controls alone can naturally render subtle changes in expression to suit different situations. The solution also incorporates advanced eye-tracking technology, allowing the robot to make eye contact and respond with facial expressions based on a person's position and viewing angle. It displays lifelike expressions during emotional exchanges and uses a clear screen to improve readability when conveying information.
