LG Display OLED becomes world's first to achieve "Perfect Color/Brightness" certification

SEOUL, South Korea, June 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- LG Display, the world's leading innovator of display technologies, announced today that its entire lineup of large-sized OLED panels, including for monitors and TVs, has become the first in the world to receive "Perfect Color/Brightness Accuracy up to 500 lux" certification from global testing and certification organization Intertek. This certification confirms that a display can accurately reproduce both color and brightness regardless of viewing conditions or content.

The certification is particularly meaningful as it quantitatively validates how accurately a display reproduces color and brightness. Previously, display quality had largely been assessed based on specifications such as color gamut or peak luminance, which have limitations in objectively verifying how closely a display reproduces real-world colors.

To address this, Intertek conducted comprehensive testing on OLED and LCD displays using a range of test patterns to measure variations in color and brightness, thereby objectively evaluating overall picture quality accuracy.

The test results revealed that LG Display's OLED panels — featuring self-emissive pixels — simultaneously recorded 100% color accuracy, 100% brightness accuracy, and color crosstalk-free performance. Therefore, they deliver the creator's intended color and brightness accurately, whatever the viewing environment or type of content. 100% color accuracy means consistent color reproduction regardless of test pattern size; 100% brightness accuracy refers to uniform brightness regardless of test pattern size; color crosstalk-free performance means no color interference between adjacent pixels, enabling precise color expression.

In contrast, LCD displays — which rely on backlight units larger than individual pixels — showed limitations when displaying high dynamic range (HDR) content such as starry night skies or fireworks, where brightness in highlighted areas can be diminished. In some premium LCD TVs using RGB LED backlights, color distortion was observed depending on the background colors.

These differences in picture quality accuracy stem from fundamental differences in light emission methods.

LCD-based displays control light by zones through a backlight, leading to light leakage into adjacent areas. This structural limitation means that even premium LCD panels exhibit color crosstalk and reduced accuracy in brightness and color reproduction.

LG Display's OLED panels operate using pixel dimming technology, with millions of individual pixels emitting light independently. This self-emissive structure fundamentally eliminates light leakage and interference, enabling precise reproduction of both bright and dark elements, regardless of content size or scene conditions, and delivering a superior viewing experience.

Through this certification, LG Display aims to take the lead in global picture quality competition by quantifying the value of real-world viewing experiences perceived by consumers.

"LG Display's OLED has now been objectively proven to deliver the most accurate color and brightness even in everyday viewing environments," said Hyeon-woo Lee, Head of the Large Display Business Unit at LG Display. "We will continue to strengthen our market leadership by more clearly communicating the differentiated value of premium picture quality that only OLED can deliver to customers worldwide."

LG Display OLED becomes world's first to achieve "Perfect Color/Brightness" certification

BRISBANE, Australia, June 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Allianz Care, part of global leader in insurance and assistance services Allianz Partners, has unveiled a refreshed Overseas Visitor Health Cover (OVHC) portfolio with new product 'Everyday Care Workers',  designed to better cater to a range of budgets in Australia's international workforce. This product offers practical and accessible health coverage, including uncapped general practitioner (GP) visits and admitted hospital benefits,  affordably priced from AUD 93 per month for Single policyholders.

The launch follows findings from Allianz Partners' customer research, which identified a growing group of recent graduates and skilled workers seeking affordable GP access without the higher costs of specialist coverage. The 2025 State of Student Healthcare Report identified 85% of respondents underestimated the cost of living. With rising living expenses and more than 59% of international students planning to stay in Australia after graduation, the Everyday Care Workers product responds directly to this shift by offering a streamlined, cost-effective health cover option.

"Allianz Care has a long history of supporting international communities in Australia," said Miranda Fennell, Executive Head of Health, Allianz Partners Australia. "These updates demonstrate our ongoing commitment to providing health insurance that's clear, flexible, and truly focused on care, whether supporting international students transitioning from their studies into the workforce or welcoming international workers and visitors to Australia."

This product launch forms part of a broader refresh of Allianz Care's OVHC range, featuring simplified product names and a redesigned online purchasing experience. The updates make it easier for international visitors and workers to compare plans, understand inclusions, and choose cover aligned with their visa, lifestyle, and budget.

Demand for such coverage continues to grow. In 2025 133,891 temporary graduate visas were issued, up over 7% from grants in 2024 (124,687). This sustained demand for skilled migration underscores the importance of affordable health insurance as international students transition into the Australian workforce.

International students and workers also make a notable contribution to Australia's economy. According to the Australian Government Department of Education,  international education was worth almost $55.0 billion to the Australian economy in 2025. The Business Council of Australia estimates that for every 1,000 migrants, there is approximately AUD 124 million in economic value per year.

Through the new Everyday Care Workers product, and refreshed OVHC portfolio, Allianz Care continues to deliver on its ambitions to make health insurance accessible, practical, and supportive for migrants.
