LG Display announced that it is beginning the world’s first-ever mass production of an LCD panel for laptops equipped with its Oxide 1Hz technology.

The panel’s core feature is its ability to intelligently detect the usage environment. It automatically switches the refresh rate down to 1Hz when the screen is static and up to 120Hz when needed. 

By ushering in the unprecedented mass production of a laptop panel that flexibly adjusts the refresh rate based on on-screen activity, LG Display can offer a product that boasts greater power efficiency.

To achieve this, LG Display developed its own circuit algorithms and panel design technology, discovering new materials and applying the oxide with the lowest power leakage during low-refresh-rate mode to the display’s thin-film transistor (TFT).

“We will deliver differentiated customer value through a 1-120Hz variable refresh rate that integrates world-class technology,” said Jae-won Jang, Head of LG Display’s Medium Display Product Planning Division. “This unique value includes maximizing laptop battery efficiency for consumer convenience in the AI era.”

LG Display will continue to develop and apply energy-saving technologies such as Oxide 1Hz to advance its “Carbon Emission Reduction Project,” which aims to reduce carbon emissions during the product usage phase by up to 10%.

LG Display will be supplying the Oxide 1Hz laptop panel to global PC manufacturer Dell for its flagship premium XPS lineup. Dell unveiled new XPS models featuring the panel at CES 2026.

Additionally, LG Display is preparing to begin mass production of a 1Hz OLED panel incorporating the same technology from 2027.
