LG Display obtains ISO-SAE cybersecurity certification
LG Display is the first automotive display maker to obtain cybersecurity certification, which it says was done proactively, and confirms its leadership in the era of software-defined vehicles (SDVs), according to a press release.
UL Solutions issued the “Cybersecurity Assurance Program Certificate for ISO-SAE 21434:2021, Road Vehicles — Cybersecurity Engineering” to LG Display for its latest automotive organic light-emitting diode (OLED) products, which are set for mass production next year.
The ISO/SAE 21434:2021 standard verifies whether automotive OEMs and suppliers have established cybersecurity risk management engineering requirements regarding concept, product development, production, operation, maintenance, and decommissioning of electrical and electronic systems.
LG Display states that it underwent verification for designing displays that resist hacking from the development stage, as well as for incorporating circuit-level security enhancements during production. This, in turn, is expected to strengthen the company’s global competitiveness in product bids, the release states.
“This achievement stems from LG Display’s efforts over the past year to establish a dedicated cybersecurity organization, continuously enhance its cybersecurity capabilities for user safety, and advance its development and production systems,” the release states. “These measures have strengthened not only the competitiveness of its automotive display products and technologies but also its stable supply capacity.”
Following the acquisition of certification for its new Automotive OLED, scheduled for mass production next year, the company plans to actively leverage its new product development and production system that meets cybersecurity certification requirements.
LG Display notes in the release that as the automotive industry shifts to SDVs, cybersecurity certifications have become increasingly critical.
“In Europe, which is leading automotive security standards, cybersecurity standard certification is needed for automakers, while the requirement is being increasingly applied to component suppliers,” the release states. “Automotive displays, in particular, play a crucial role as a primary interface connecting a vehicle’s software systems with the driver. Drivers check information via digital instrument clusters and operate infotainment systems such as navigation and media on central display panels.”
Kwon Geuk‑sang, LG Display’s head of auto business group, added, “This initiative reflects our commitment to responding promptly to customer needs and delivering differentiated value. We will continue to strengthen our leadership in the premium automotive display market.”
