LG Display is snagging more CES Innovation Awards – and for technologies that could completely change how we use screens in cars. The company received accolades for two new solutions: Dual View OLED and Under Display Camera–infrared OLED (UDC-IR OLED). Both were recognized for their space-saving design, high image quality, and adherence to rigorous automotive standards.
Dual View OLED – one screen, two worlds
The most interesting feature is definitely Dual View OLED. It is the first display that can show different images to different people, depending on their position in the car.
Example?
The driver sees navigation and vehicle indicators.
The passenger next to them – at the same time, on the same screen – is watching Netflix.
And what if they end up in the back row? Each passenger can watch something different simultaneously. No extra tablets, no additional panels – full customization without taking up space in the cockpit.
Moreover, the panel supports touch. LG Display has optimized the structure of the OLED pixels so that the touch of one user does not affect the image for another. If a passenger is scrolling through a movie? The driver continues to see perfectly stable route data. This could be one of the most intriguing automotive gadgets at CES 2026.
UDC-IR OLED – screen with an invisible camera
The second award-winning novelty is the UDC-IR OLED, which is a full-screen panel for navigation systems… with a camera monitoring the driver hidden beneath the display.
And it's not just any camera – it's a high-resolution IR camera, with image correction software from LG Innotek. It is completely invisible and increases the freedom of cockpit design, as it does not require any physical cutouts.
LG Display emphasizes that in the future many countries may require mandatory driver monitoring systems (e.g., drowsiness detection). Such a panel elegantly solves this problem without ruining the appearance of the dashboard.
Thanks to the greater light permeability in the camera area, the sensor can see directly through the screen. It's futuristic, but very practical.
CES 2026 is shaping up to be impressive for LG
It is worth adding that the parent company – LG Electronics – also grabbed several CES Innovation Awards this year, including for:
the first Micro RGB TV,
the transparent OLED T 77’’,
the mobile screen LG StanbyMe 2,
the UltraFine evo 6K with Thunderbolt 5.
LG Display confirms that the Dual View OLED and UDC-IR OLED will be available to see live at the mobility technology booth during CES 2026 in Las Vegas.
If these solutions actually work as well as the manufacturer describes – we may be one step away from a new era of automotive displays.
