[Edaily Reporter JAEMIN SONG ] Affiliates of Samsung and LG Corp. have won a series of innovation awards at “CES 2027,” the world’s largest consumer electronics and information technology (IT) trade show, set to take place next January. Their technological competitiveness was recognized across various fields, including artificial intelligence (AI), displays, automotive electronics, and batteries.

According to industry sources on the 10th, the Consumer Technology Association (CTA) announced the products and technologies that won the CES 2027 Innovation Awards. The CES Innovation Awards are selected based on an evaluation of technological capability, design, and innovation.

LGELECTRONICS received Innovation Awards for a total of eight products, including the transparent, wireless OLED TV, gaming monitors, and home appliances. Notably, the “LG Signature OLED T”—the world’s first transparent, wireless TV—was selected for the Best of Innovation Award in the Art Tech category, marking the fifth consecutive year since 2023 that an LG OLED TV has won the Best of Innovation Award. This product combines a transparent screen with wireless video and audio transmission technology, allowing users to use it like a regular TV or switch to a mode that reveals the space behind the screen.

The ultra-large wireless “Wallpaper TV,” the “LG Signature OLED W,” also received an Innovation Award. Other award-winning products included the UltraGear gaming monitor, featuring a 1,000-hertz (Hz) refresh rate and Full HD resolution, as well as home appliances such as the AI Wash Tower.

SAMSUNG SDI CO.,LTD. won the Innovation Award in the Enterprise Tech category for its “SDI U8A3-UPS” battery solution for AI data center uninterruptible power supplies (UPS). This marks the company’s third consecutive year winning the award; by utilizing prismatic batteries made of lithium manganese oxide (LMO), the solution achieves 33% greater space efficiency than existing products. The solution provides backup power when power demand surges during AI computations and met all evaluation criteria in UL Solutions’ large-scale indoor fire test.

LG Innotek received the Innovation Award for the third consecutive year for its next-generation automotive lighting module, the “Nexlide C+.” It renders different three-dimensional (3D) images depending on the viewing angle while reducing its thickness to 3 mm or less. It can be used in rear taillights, front grilles, and interior mood lights. The company plans to target global automakers with the goal of launching the product next year.

LG Energy Solution won the Innovation Award in the Advanced Mobility category for its used battery diagnostic solution, “Re.Pulse.” By analyzing battery condition using AI, it reduced the diagnostic time—which previously took more than seven hours—to less than 10 minutes. It can assess the condition down to the individual battery cell level to determine suitability for reuse or recycling. This marks the second consecutive year the company has received an Innovation Award for software technology.

An AI semiconductor built using SamsungElectronics Foundry’s 2-nanometer process also made the list of award winners. Developed by the South Korean semiconductor company DeepX, the “DX-M2” is designed to run generative AI on robots and industrial devices using low power consumption of approximately 5 watts (W). Full-scale mass production is targeted for 2028.
