Opening l CEO
Good morning, everyone. WELCOME to the LG WORLD PREMIERE!
wow It’s great to be back in Las Vegas. Special thanks to all of you
who made it here in person and a big ‘hello’ to everyone around the world tuning in to the live stream.
Now, we all have been through a lot over the past three years
but here at LG we’ve been able to carry on because
we’ve got a mission to keep smiles on the faces of those who
we serve our customers those difficult times, in fact allowed us
to reaffirm our belief that the answer is always with our
customers. As long as all our Innovations start and
end with them, we can keep the world smiling.
So when we say “Life’s good” it’s an EARNEST promise to our
customers, that we’ll deliver a TRULY BETTER LIFE.
Let me share just a few of many ‘better life’ examples we have brought to the world
Take LG OLED TV when we first introduced OLED
it was something NO ONE could have imagined before, but it changed our viewing experiences
for good. And today, we are celebrating THE 10TH
ANNIVERSARY of LG OLED TV
and looking ahead to another 10 years of making everyone’s life better.
Another example is in the home appliance space where LG has led countless
innovations With LG MoodUP, we are creating yet another
new product category you can customize to your OWN LIFESTYLE.
we are also moving beyond home to new domains, like Mobility.
after TEN years of sustained investment, our Vehicle Solutions business is now ON
TRACK to lead OUR FUTURE GROWTH.
Here, we’ll continue to draw on our deep consumer insights to strengthen our
unique Edge in the Electric Vehicle sector. So, how do we get such a relentless drive
for Innovations? That’s because, at LG,
we’re a group of brave optimists, who genuinely believe
that for ANY challenging we Face, we will ALWAYS find a way with our customers.
Which is how every product and solution we create is designed, and engineered and
assembled with optimism to make a difference in your life.
With that firm belief, our Innovation extends to an EVEN more
diverse range of smart Life Solutions. So you can enjoy seamless experiences
that are ‘First’, ‘Unique’ and ‘New’
across ALL product offerings with LG LG ThinQ.
in addition, we are so excited about the launch of LG Labs
where we are fostering our OWN squads that we call CUSTOMER VALUE CREATORS.
These people will explore many uncharted territories with BRILLIANT and
EXPERIMENTAL ideas. Now let me talk about the latest
addition to our business portfolio. With increasing investment in core
technologies, we are expanding into many other domains.
These include EV charging, digital health and content services
with our always-evolving webOS platform.
However, no ONE company, even LG can do everything on its own.
So, we are proactively pursuing collaborations with the strategic partners around the world.
At LG NOVA, our North American Innovation Center, we are partnering with
entrepreneurs in a variety of fields. we have also worked closely with global
leaders from a wide range of Industries, especially the content industry.
And here today, I’d like to introduce to you one of our most valued Partners in this
exciting field. Let me introduce Tom Ryan, President
and CEO of Paramount Streaming.
Thank you, William. As one of the world’s leading producers
of premium content that connects billions of people in nearly every country in the world, we are leaning into
our partnership with LG. Paramount Global and LG Electronics have
a long-standing partnership Both companies are respected global market leaders And the combination of Paramount content
and LG scale delivers an incredible experience to [tens of] millions of
consumers worldwide. That’s why we are growing our partnership to accelerate Paramount’s
international streaming growth. Pluto TV, the leading free streaming
television service, is expanding our channel integration for LG Channels, adding over 100 channels this quarter
globally. Pluto TV is proud to be the largest content provider for LG Channels.
And today I’m excited to announce that Paramount+ is ready to start its
global expansion on LG Smart TVs, with the first launch to start on today in the
UK and Ireland. Paramount+ will be available in more countries on LG Smart TVs soon to follow
in the coming days. Thank you William, for your partnership. and we look forward to growing together
in 2023 and beyond.
Thank you
Thank you thank you
Thank you, Tom. Now as a responsible corporate citizen, we
are strongly committed to using technology to bring more smiles,
and to help people tackle the WORLD’S MOST PRESSING ISSUES.
As a part of our global mission to create ‘A Better Life for All’, we launched the LG Life’s Good Award
Program to recognize and support our fellow warm-hearted innovators.
We asked for ideas that will make life better for People AND for the planet.
A total of 334 teams from 61 Nations have responded
and today, what my deepest thanks to each of them, I am thrilled to present four
finalists whose incredible Innovations, show what we mean by Life’s Good.
Alone, we can do so little, Together, we can change the world.
Countless souls are working to find solutions to make a better life for all and for our planet.
We want to recognize four teams in our Life’s Good Award.
Solutum may have the solution for green earth. They want to sustain the convenience of
plastic while eliminating the waste Their bioplastic dissolves and degrades in water leaving almost no trace behind.
I want to eliminate plastic waste for good.

the right to see what we see. their portable device, 20 times smaller
and 10 times lighter than legacy devices, gives the visually impaired unprecedented access to visual

water on demand for all. their portable device can make seawater drinkable. We hope to make a difference
for the people in the harshest environments. For our planet and our people
Life’s Good Award
Thanks and congratulations once again to all four finalist teams.
Now for a look at LG’s own efforts at building a better life for
all, here from LG Electronics USA is Jeannie L
ESG : Better Life Plan 2030
Thank you, Mr. Cho. At CES 2023, the Consumer Technology
Association is spotlighting how technology helps people tackle the world’s most
pressing problems Tech for Good, in support of the United Nations efforts
to advance human security for all. Or as we say at LG, A Better Life for All.
In fact, putting people and the planet first is at the heart of the new BETTER
LIFE PLAN 2030, LG’s global framework for ESG
Environmental, Social and Governance. It defines core ESG tasks and a roadmap
for ESG-led management. First and foremost, LG is leading the way
in environmental sustainability and climate action.
In our production process, LG aims to use 600,000 tons of recycled
plastics by 2030. Over the next 7 years
LG plans to collect and responsibly recycle another 4.5 million tons of
e-waste, for a total of 8 million tons by 2030.
As LG pursues carbon neutrality by 2030, we expect to reduce carbon emissions by
20% in our 7 major product categories through energy efficiency.
And by 2050, LG plans to complete the transition to renewable energy around
the world, led by operations in the United States, which have already
achieved this goal. As LG supports a more diverse and
inclusive society, we strive to develop products that are accessible to all
Our goal is to eliminate barriers at every stage of the consumer experience.
for example, we’re adding voice guidance to more products to provide visually
impaired customers with easy-to-follow verbal instructions for more accessible
features and functions. we’re also developing a sign language
engine to support product use and content viewing for hearing-impaired customers.
We are fully embracing the invaluable feedback we receive about our products
and solutions from our consumers, to improve usability and performance and
make sure they are accessible to everyone. And we’d like to thank our Accessibility
Advisory Council members, who have been a great source of guidance and inspiration
through all these Endeavors to design better life for all solutions.
Beyond our products and services, LG has been a proud supporter of the global IT
Challenge for Youth with Disabilities since 2011. This program has empowered
more than 4 000 young people from around the world.
Looking ahead, LG will continue to develop more accessible technologies,
pursue 100% renewable energy, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and
drive market transformation through our innovations. In 2023 and beyond, LG’s ESG Journey will
continue to push forward with the relentless pursuit of a Better Life for
All! Thank you
OLED M3, OLED UltraGear, OLED Flex
In one decade, the story of LG OLED went from wonder To Joy, connecting with millions of
people worldwide, and helping create memories for everyone. But we’re not here
to talk about the past! And while OLED TVs deliver outstanding viewing
experiences, we have been working hard to envision the changing role the big
screen plays in your living room. Let’s take a look.
People are all unique. Each has their own idea of a beautiful
screen. we have so many image settings.
Not 85. But, 85 Million! Considering the world’s population, we’ve only just begun.
We change the way of watching. Klimt’s painting in a split second, right before
your eyes, and into metaverse for the concert can’t be missed We even
transform our shape. For livestream? Your screen moves. For an immersive game? Your
screen curves. For the great view behind the screen? Your screen turns transparent.
To make you feel Life’s Good, LG screen makes it just fit for you every moment.
LG screens are also fit for everyone with your adventures experiences and
challenges and even for our precious Planet through LG screen you can
practice dancing your mom does a yoga and your grandpa walks on snow without
his boots. because he walked through LG OLED
when we talk about everyone we mean everyone for people not comfortable with
small size letters or loud noises especially for our planet LG screens are
developed produced used and disposed of and waste mindful for our environment
to make everyone feel Life’s Good. LG screening makes it fit for everybody
sync to you open to all LG screen
so…are you curious to know what’s new this year? Which technologies we have to
surprise you with? A screen.
A device. No hidden cables in between.
LG’s first OLED TV with wireless transmission.
Hey, Punita. Let me introduce you to my friend and artist,
Punita Bajaj. I’ve invited her to help this morning. Thank you so much for inviting me thank you for having me it’s
such an honor to be part of this incredible unveiling you know. We’re so proud to introduce this 97-inch
OLED TV, it’s the world’s first consumer TV to offer 4K 120Hz video and audio
transmitted wirelessly through this Zero Connect box. This box houses all the
circuitry so it can send sound and picture signals to the TV wirelessly
yeah it is pretty incredible and it’s also seemingly easy to use and install.
Yes give it a shot all you have to do is take your USB thumb drive stick it into
the back and you can see there are no cables at all and it’s seamless we simply go into the menu system,
and then we’ll have a look at your artwork that you’ve been working on oh wow Oh my goodness I don’t think I’ve ever
seen my art on a screen like this and with so many people to admire it. wow
that’s amazing You know what’s amazing right now is that from a lifestyle perspective we’re
doing a lot and so from StandbyME or which you can take anywhere in your home
to the OLED Objet Collection series, which complements your interior.
That’s right well there’s a lot of exciting things to look forward to as well
Now with this transparent screen oh sorry my apologies now of course that
is an incredible television but what in terms of the future of our lifestyle screens this year’s CES Award winner
OLED T. With its transparent screen is direction of where we’re going it will
give you new viewing experiences such as a virtual aquarium, a soothing
rainfall or anything an artist like you can imagine. And when you slide up
the screen and take full advantage of an OLED experience. Yeah you know Frank, I
must confess I got a sneak peek at what LG and Moooi prepared at the show. And it’s something straight out of a
magic show even for Vegas it’s beyond what you would expect from a TV. And while this standout screen is sure to
help bolster LG’s growing reputation… …understanding gamers’ needs has been the
driving force that let LG to deliver the ultimate viewing experience through
its OLED screens. And as we all know OLED Flex has the capabilities and
street credentials as the ultimate TV for gaming. At 42-inches
it’s perfect for the desktop with its 40W surround Dolby Atmos speakers, Plus,
you can resize the from 42 to 32 to 27 inches. So you can really get a
sense of LG’s Vision to deliver a personalized experience with the OLED Flex. With these 20 different levels of
curvature you can get the best gaming experience for the games that you really love and if gaming wasn’t addictive
enough this will upgrade and up upscale the whole experience so you can’t get
out of the couch. Trust me I’ve tried even if it’s just binge watching for the movie Nights you can just use it as a
flat screen. That’s awesome. Right. so uh looking over here again it’s something
that you would never imagine with just a TV! Starting this year, LG TVs
will be one of the first to support NVIDIA GeForce NOW at 4K resolution. The
powerful combination of GeForce NOW and LG OLED TV delivers immersive gaming at
its finest. That’s right and also this year Gamers will be able to access Amazon Luna amongst so many other gaming
platforms directly from LG TVs, too. But again looking here is this the new 240Hz
OLED monitor it is. And it’s blazing fast with the world’s first 240Hz
OLED panel, a record-breaking 0.03ms response time and
800R curvature, This ground-breaking monitor is designed for the ultimate
immersive gaming. Wow that is all you want as a PC gamer,
with 45 inches, 21:9 aspect ratio
and that borderless curved design.… And to make this all
possible, LG is leveraging its tech leadership and continuous customer experience innovation. But let’s
take a look frst at the technology driving our 2023 TVs.. as a leader in OLED TV,
LG continues to invest in OLED technologies for ultimate performance. Now LG’s OLED Evo, the most
advanced OLED TVs you can buy, has gotten even better, thanks to the new α9
AI Processor Gen6 and a series of
picture algorithm improvements. The result is a viewing experience so immersive you’ll feel like you’ve been
transported directly into whatever content you’re watching. Now another advancement for
this year’s models is the improved Bright Booster Max, a feature that
will make LG OLED Evo G Series TVs up to 70% brighter than conventional OLED TVs.
Well Frank, I noticed that there is a new approach to the Home screen on LG TVs,
offering quick access to those mostly used apps and services via the
newly launched Quick Cards. So now you can access not only your favorite games,
but also sports, music or connectivity apps
from the dedicated cards, on top of being able to access your personal profile in
the home screen. LG’s web OS platform thanks to the new UI makes it
easier to access ThinQ and Matter compatible smart devices via Home Hub and directly connect with them. And
with the AI concierge feature, LG TVs can make recommendations based on your past inquiries, what is
trending or quick ways to enhance your viewing experience of the preferred content. That’s so convenient And we all
know that LG TVs already come with fantastic picture presets, but you know
some of us we want to add a little twist. To it so for those of us that do we’ve added AI Picture Wizard, which uses your
preferences to determine the picture settings that you would like the most. And customers can pick up their go to service
and fully enjoy the latest movie or TV series including award-winning original
shows and much more… But speaking of the latest Series… Today we’ve collaborated with
Apple to share a sneak peek of the new season of their hit series Foundation,
launching globally on Apple Apple TV+ this summer. Let’s take a look
There is a new crisis.
Right on our doorstep. If there is war,
we will win.
And in the US, with LG channels, you can enjoy exclusive channels and series for free,
on your LG TV, such as the Dave Chang cooking show or
to NCAA’s most intense collegiate rivalries. And there’s so much more for any taste.
Also, in US, you can conveniently enjoy LG channels from your
phone as well. But We believe that a TV should be able to do more than stream content. And with your LG TV… it’s
all here : From [Xponential] the world’s largest fitness group and [Les Mills] a leader in group fitness… to [MaxPro] being able to connect a fitness
machine to the TV, or [Excercite] a motion sensor that recognizes your
body’s posture. It’s all here to help YOUR performance and needs. and
if you are eager to acquire skills and knowledge, the MasterClass app on LG
TVs will offer access to over 180 classes taught by the world’s best
instructors. And thanks to a new partnership with ADT, LG TV owners can
benefit from a host of integrated Services developed exclusively for webOS
to help you protect what matters most. This includes an emergency call function
that can be accessed directly from the remote and much more. Be it [DASVERSE], a virtual
art museum to enjoy creative work, or [SANSAR], the world first TV
metaverse service, so you can participate in life events in both realities and [OORBIT] even the ability to
access interconnected digital worlds! right on your TV that’s right but speaking of
which if you are also an NFT Enthusiast, LG has got you covered with its own LG
Art Lab platform, which has been revamped for a seamless experience. LG Art Lab newly
supports BladeWallet powered by Hedera Network, which delivers simple and secure
transactions. LG OLED TV can now be your digital canvas, where art is best
displayed and enjoyed. Let’s see what else LG has in store?

And starting in 2023, LG’s ThinQ UP will be available in overseas markets,
starting here, in the United States. Now, many of you may be curious how
these Innovations will change your everyday life. So, we’ve followed four different families
and their life with LG ThinQ UP . Let’s take a closer look.
we are four real families from four different places.
we’ve got very busy lives. With the help of LG ThinQ UP we’re ready to step up! we’re
ready to clean up we’re building our dream home in the
country but we have to learn how to balance our busy lives in the city with the task of building a home from scratch
on the weekends. Living two lives means double the workload. we’re a big family and we lead very busy
lives. Our kids are always leaving stuff around the house. I feel like I’m cleaning all day and then they still
find a way to make it messy. We live in Los Angeles in the perfect neighborhood. When we moved here I wanted this to be
our forever home. Yeah but the problem is with the outdated kitchen and all the broken appliances we can’t even enjoy a home-cooked meal. We’re a first-time
parents trying to adjust a whole new way of life. Yeah No sleep, no alone time and no going out with friends. Way more
dishes and endless laundry. Tomorrow starts a new chapter in this house with a new kitchen and LG ThinQ UP.
Oh my gosh! Oh my goodness! When
I first walked into the laundry room I couldn’t believe I was still in the same house.
I need you to make sure that your uniforms together. The dryer says it’s going to be done in five minutes. Oh, nice! I love all the remote
features because I already have my phone in my hand all the time. They’ve got seasonal options too. Oh, cool!
All our appliances are always new because they got updates all the time. Whenever my clothes is done I don’t have
to get up and actually go take it out. The new update will keep it wrinkle-free. Man, I’m super proud of my family and the
changes that have taken place over the last few weeks. They’ve stepped up! I’ve fallen out of love with the place that
was supposed to be our forever home. Now I feel like our house is complete. Not only has LG LG ThinQ UP helped us optimize our
time it’s really improved our life around the house too. So what’s cool is the more features that we update the
more useful these appliances get. But you don’t have to use every update. You use the ones that are appropriate for you.
It’s good! These appliances can’t get outdated. It’s like they’re always new! What I love the most is that these appliances
evolve with us. All the updates make it more customizable for us. It makes it our kitchen, makes it our laundry room. It
makes it more about what we want! Life is looking up!
As we are in an era of individual expression, home appliances should also
be tailored to people’s unique preferences. Is there a way to change the atmosphere
in your home to fit your taste and mood? Thinking from a customer’s point of view, LG took this to Heart.
Meet the paramount of personalized style and Innovation, LG’s Refrigerator

ever-changing consumer. a renowned creative director Jeff Staple gives his two cents on this topic.
Hey what’s up my name is Jeff Staple. I’m the founder and creative director of staple design and you are here inside my
New York City design office. As a creative director, when I’m styling my own space, it’s important to me that the
space is inspiring. And if you look at my office, you’ll see that it’s filled with figures, sneakers, art books. All the
things that I love and that are inspiring to me. Even aamong so many things though there is an order to this
chaos the same goes from when I pick out my objects. Design and performance is everything. How will LG and its
sophisticated design fit into your lifestyle? Come visit the Creator’s room, and I’ll see you at LG CES booth!
Life’s Good with Cars
Thank you Good morning
we love cars but are you happy with the time you spend in your car?
Did you know, on average all Americans spend 26.4 minutes commuting?
that’s almost an hour each day, every day.
We could reduce This Time by half. There’s no trick. What I’m proposing is how we spend time
in the car. Let us think of car as a space a living space
and a working space. Our car Journey starts from an origin
and it ends at a destination. And what’s in between is what I would
like to call a timed experience. In a commute we start from home
to your workplace. And we can shorten the time by bringing in home experience and your work
experience into the car. How often have you felt “Did I turn off the stove?”,
“Did I feed the dog?” We can alleviate this departure anxiety by giving you the power to check the
stove and feed the dog at the same time. That would save you from worrying a few
minutes in your commute Let’s see what we can do at the destination
if you can organize your day 10 minutes prior to arriving at your workplace, won’t that save you time?
Adding up all these minutes will give you back half of your commute.
We, at LG Electronics, have the technology and the capabilities
to make this a reality. For the past decade, we have been
developing and delivering what car companies call “head units”
what was a simple radio is now an interactive cockpit computer.
we will continue to improve and innovate this product into high performance
computer to empower the autonomous driving vehicles of the future
We are the top supplier of telematics, or telecommunications modules.
Our telemedics modules made lifesaving emergency calls and roadside assistance
calls. We take safety seriously… And we understand what it means to build,
manufacture and deliver to to the automotive standards.
During the difficult pandemic, we delivered beautifully shaped OLED
displays in the luxury production vehicles. From designing the display that fits
seamlessly into the luxurious interior to inventing new materials to enable
vibrant color. The luxury car companies and LG had
to overcome many technical challenges with Innovations. In addition
we developed camera and sensor technology that understands what people
are doing in the cars. Putting all of this together into a
seamless experience, we are building mobility service platform that
UNDERSTANDS, PREDICTS and CURATES what people need in the car.
Drivers need to be in control, and keep themselves and their loved ones safe
from any harm. We, the LG Electronics, make “Life’s Good
with car.” We will continue to explore new ways of doing things in cars,
in homes and in workplaces. Through our partnership with the car
companies and Mobility service providers we will innovate beyond the current technology and invest into the better
future for all people Thank you for spending a few minutes with me.
And now allow me to bring William, our CEO, back on the stage. Thank you
Closing l CEO
Thank you, Gene. that’s EXACTLY what we are all about
Innovation NOT for its own sake, but for truly better life,
bringing smiles to our customers. YES, that smile in our logo isn’t there by
accident. And some of you may have noticed, our visual has gone even more lively,
