Rollable TV and Connected Car Solutions : LG’s Highlights at CES 2020

Behind me that are rolling up and down some from the ceiling some from the floor. We brought them here because unlike last year we have two different versions, but the one that will go on sale sometime this year somewhere in the world is the one that is rolling up on the ground. Those rollable OLEDs are — and we think it's still amazing to watch.

People saw it last year, but it's still the most crowded area of our exhibition hall. But beyond that, we do have some other wonderful TVs — 8K TVs. You know, there are 77 inches, 88 inches — I mean, you could cover your entire wall in Singapore.

We have a brand-new 48-inch gaming TV. And so you take 48 inches — wow, that's too big to be a monitor. Well, it's optimized for gaming and because it's so light, it's got the wonderful deep blacks and the fast millisecond reaction rate. So if you are a gamer, you gotta check out these OLED gaming TVs. It's like a whole new category that will blow people's minds.

We have connected cars we're gonna show here at CES from the future. It may be autonomous driving. What are some of the things you can do with an advanced AI-connected car that you probably could never imagine being able to do if you were driving?

For example, it has two OLED displays in the front and the back — immerse yourself watching a movie. It has a styler. In other words, you can actually put your jacket and even a coat in the styler, and it'll clean and purify it while you're riding.

We have a restaurant that is run completely by robots — from taking orders to cooking to serving coffee, drinks, and washing the dishes. And when it comes time to pay, it'll take your payment as well. So what we're showing is how they could actually exist in a real business commercial environment.

We're showing off an AI DD — AI stands for artificial intelligence, DD stands for direct drive — washing machine. And what this washing machine does is it actually knows what kind of clothes you put into it. It adjusts the settings to match that load perfectly and then it tells the dryer what clothes it just washed so that the dryer can adjust its setting.

You don't have to think about it. You don't have to look at the label and say, "Oh, this is polyester" or "20 percent wool." It just knows. That’s through the power of AI.

We believe AI in the home is something that will be around for a long time, and it will take a long time. In other words, some people will never have it for, you know, ten years, and some people may have most of their home upgraded in two years.

I think it's going to be a lot like when people were upgrading from standard TV to high-definition TVs. It took like ten years — now it's standard. It takes time, and there's really no one particular formula that we use. But once it happens, it will, you know — it'll be very ubiquitous. Like, people won't even realize that they've turned their home smart.

And there's no time frame in our mind, other than that for us, it's a long-term strategy.
