LG Electronics is set to introduce its innovative transparent antenna designed specifically for automobiles at the upcoming CES 2024. Developed in collaboration with renowned French glass manufacturer Saint-Gobain Sekurit, LG's transparent film-type antenna is poised to revolutionize telecommunications technology in the automotive sector.
Transparent Telematics Solution of LG
In the rapidly evolving landscape of the automotive industry, with electric vehicles becoming the standard and the imminent arrival of autonomous and software-defined vehicles, connectivity is emerging as a key focus.
LG's transparent telematics solution is positioned to address this demand for cutting-edge telecommunications environments capable of facilitating real-time data exchange within modern vehicles.
The transparent antenna, which is directly applied to vehicle glass, boasts compatibility with various types of glass and diverse vehicle designs.
LG offers the antenna as both an on-glass and in-glass solution, providing flexibility and scalability to handle the increasing demands of network traffic. With a broad surface application, the film-type antenna ensures reliable telecommunications performance.
"The transparent antenna can be seamlessly integrated in car windshields or in glass sunroofs. This means vehicle manufacturers don't have to make any design concessions when developing new models as it removes the need for the kind of housing typically required to accommodate conventional antennas," LG said in a statement.
"The film-type antenna features more than 80 of LG's patented innovations, including the design capability to make antenna patterns transparent and transparent electrode technology," it added.
LG Focuses on Innovation and Practicality
Partnering with Saint-Gobain Sekurit, LG boasted that it has not only brought innovation to the design but has also ensured the practicality of the transparent antenna by developing a method to apply it to glass.
This collaborative effort with Saint-Gobain Sekurit aligns with LG's vision of advancing vehicle component solutions. Thibaut Heitz, Innovation and R&D Director of Saint-Gobain Sekurit, has expressed enthusiasm about the collaboration, saying, "We're pleased to unveil our smart glass featuring LG's transparent antenna technology."
"In collaboration with LG, a leader in vehicle component solutions, we are pioneering advancements in vehicle telecommunications. Our common objective aim is to provide an enriched and unique in-vehicle environment, bringing the future of mobility to fruition," he added.
Eun Seokhyun, President of LG Vehicle Component Solutions Company, highlighted the transparent antenna's exceptional communications performance for automotive applications through rigorous vehicle tests.
He emphasized LG's commitment to advancing technological capabilities and introducing innovative solutions that contribute to the evolution of the mobility experience.
