Source-reported

LG Display's large OLED business is shifting its growth from televisions to PC monitors, and the change is now large enough for the company to plan restarting idle factory capacity. Its automotive business is moving the other way. War, inflation, and a slowdown in European electric vehicles have weakened demand for its car OLED panels, leaving older low-temperature polycrystalline silicon LCD (LTPS-LCD) technology as the steadier earner.
