1. The world’s first transparent TVs
Samsung and LG, two big tech giants, demonstrated the world’s first transparent TVs. Samsung uses micro LEDs made from non-organic compounds and doesn’t require any backlight to produce images. Meanwhile, LG uses OLED (organic light-emitting diode) technology for razor-thin displays with rich colors and blacks. Both display technologies have been used for several years but have evolved for a transparent display.

LG launched an AI smart home agent under their “Zero Labour Home” initiative. It is a two-legged robot powered by a Generative AI-powered robot trained on massive datasets of LG products. It can easily be connected with all your LG appliances such as refrigerator, oven, washing machine, etc. The robot has a face and user recognition, so its responses and communications are tailored to individual home members. A generative AI large language model powers it, so you can chat with it while you’re, say, baking a cake. Not only this, but LG also launched their Alpha 11 AI-powered processor that will generate a better image output for LG TVs by adjusting the color and other crucial parameters with the help of AI.
