The company said it reduced losses by about 2 trillion won in 2024 from 2023, then improved by about 1 trillion won more in 2025. It attributed the performance improvement to advancing an OLED-focused business structure, reforming its cost structure and improving operating efficiency.

LG Display said its strategy this year is to use an artificial intelligence transition to innovate technology and cost competitiveness and build a stable profit structure. It said its small and medium-sized business will use enhanced technology and production capabilities efficiently to respond to new demand. The IT segment will cut low-profit products, continue cost-structure innovation and respond to the premium market with differentiated products.

For its large-sized business, it will expand its lineup of OLED panels for TVs and gaming to strengthen its position in the premium market. It will introduce a new OLED TV panel applying Primary RGB Tandem 2.0 technology and a 27-inch gaming OLED panel with a 720Hz ultra-high refresh rate. Its automotive business plans to maintain a competitive edge based on a differentiated product and technology portfolio.

Seong-hyun Kim (김성현), LG Display's chief financial officer, said, "In 2025, uncertainty in the external environment continued, but we were able to achieve a return to annual profitability by focusing on advancing the business structure and improving operational efficiency." He added, "This year as well, we will focus on transforming into a technology-centric company and building a sustainable profit structure to work to further expand performance."
