LG Display has strengthened its competitiveness in the automotive display business by obtaining international certification for automotive software development. The company aims to enhance its hardware-centric automotive displays into software-based electronic components to target the global automotive market.
On June 2, LG Display announced that it has received ASPICE (Automotive SPICE) Level 2 certification from the certification body C&BIS.
ASPICE is an international standard established by the global automotive industry to evaluate the software development capabilities and quality management systems of electronic component suppliers. It comprehensively assesses whether a systematic process is in place throughout the planning, development, and verification of automotive software.
As the share of electronic control units (ECUs) and software in vehicles rapidly increases, the stability and reliability of related components have become key competitive factors. A single software error can lead to vehicle defects or large-scale recalls, prompting automakers to strengthen verification across their supply chains.
LG Display applied its self-developed diagnostic and control functions to displays for automotive dashboards and center consoles to achieve this certification. The company has demonstrated its capabilities in both hardware quality and software control in the automotive display sector.
In December of last year, LG Display became the first in the display industry to obtain the international standard for automotive cybersecurity engineering, ISO/SAE 21434, and has now secured ASPICE certification. By establishing key certification systems for functional safety, security, and software quality in automotive displays, the company is enhancing its competitiveness in the electronic components sector.
With this certification, LG Display plans to expand its new orders in the global automotive market, including North America. As the transition to software-defined vehicles (SDVs) accelerates, the company aims to strengthen strategic collaborations with its clients.
Kwon Geuk-sang, head of LG Display's automotive business group, stated, "The ASPICE certification recognizes that our automotive displays possess not only hardware completeness but also high-quality software technology capabilities. We will strengthen our leadership in the automotive display market based on differentiated technological competitiveness."
