LG Electronics said on the 13th that it will participate in the 57th Korea Electronics Show (KES 2026), which opens on the 13th at COEX in Gangnam-gu, Seoul. The event runs from the 13th to the 16th. LG Electronics has set its exhibition theme as “LG Life Layers” and will operate the exhibition hall accordingly.
LG Electronics will showcase innovative solutions spanning home appliances, residential spaces, AI data centers, smart factories, robots, and future mobility. The booth covers 902 square meters and is divided into 2 layers. The exhibition is designed to encompass both the living and industry sectors.
Layer 1 is the “Living Layer,” which represents customers’ everyday lives. In this space, the company will present appliance subscription services, ultra-premium living spaces, modular homes, and AI mobility, proposing a new lifestyle.
Layer 2 is the “Industry Layer,” focusing on B2B technology offerings. In this space, the company will introduce AI data center cooling solutions, smart factories, core components for robots, and AI solutions for vehicles, highlighting LG Electronics’ B2B technological capabilities.
At the entrance to the Living Layer exhibition zone, LG Electronics’ home robot “CLOiD” is stationed to welcome visitors. In the following “Subscription & Care” area, the company will introduce its appliance subscription services. Products covered by the subscription service include frozen ice water purifiers, WashCombos, dishwashers, and Whisen Tower air conditioners, and the service includes ongoing care from specialists.
After that, “Villa de SIGNATURE” presents an ultra-premium residential space. The exhibit is arranged to simultaneously display “SKS,” “LG SIGNATURE,” and LGE.COM home-style furniture for sale. The kitchen features SKS products such as an ice water purifier refrigerator, wine cellar, and oven.
The living room is staged with the transparent OLED TV “LG SIGNATURE OLED T,” creating a space that feels as if the scenery outside the window and media art are flowing together. A separate listening room is also operated. The listening room is configured with the wireless wallpaper TV “LG SIGNATURE OLED W” and the home audio system “LG Sound Suite” to deliver an immersive viewing experience.
LG Electronics has prepared an exhibition linking modular homes and mobility. The exhibition space is named “Smart Cottage x Spielraum,” and the display presents Smart Cottage alongside “Spielraum,” the adjacent space, creating a connection between residential space and mobility. Smart Cottage is a modular home that integrates LG Electronics’ home appliances, HVAC, and energy solutions, and the company also unveiled the new 72-square-meter single-story “MONO Core 72.” Spielraum was styled as an AI mobility space that applies AI Home solutions to a vehicle.
In Spielraum, a refrigerator, a microwave oven, a wine cellar, a TV, and a soundbar were installed in the vehicle, with the goal of creating a home-like living environment even outdoors. LG Electronics also presented a scenario linking Smart Cottage and Spielraum using the AI home hub “LG ThinQ On.” Accordingly, it showed functions such as preheating the oven installed in the vehicle from home, or checking conditions at home from the vehicle and remotely controlling appliances.
The key focus of this exhibition is connecting residential spaces and mobility. Through examples of using the two spaces as one via “LG ThinQ On,” LG Electronics underscored its goal of delivering a consistent customer experience regardless of location.
The Industry Layer theme presents expansion across industries through the combination of LG Electronics’ core technologies, manufacturing capabilities, and AI. This flow shows a direction in which the company expands the scope of application by integrating its technologies and manufacturing base with AI.
As an example, the company is operating an “AI Data Center Solution” zone and will present a “Chip-to-Chiller” total cooling solution for heat management in AI data centers. Heat management has emerged as a key challenge for AI data centers, driven by the expansion of high-performance AI computing. As a result, the importance of managing data center heat has increased. The exhibition introduces a Chiller, a CDU, and a Cold Plate as components. The Chiller supplies chilled water in large volumes, the CDU is a component of liquid cooling systems, and the Cold Plate directly absorbs heat generated by semiconductor chips. Through this, visitors can see the entire liquid cooling system at a glance.
LG Electronics has accumulated about 60 years of HVAC expertise. The company is emphasizing its thermal management capabilities, supporting stable and efficient AI data center operations by presenting a solution range that connects cooling equipment to thermal management components adjacent to servers. This highlights its ability to support operational stability and efficiency based on decades of accumulated HVAC technology.
The exhibition begins with a “Smart Factory” zone that showcases a production system combining AI, digital twin, and robot technologies, and it has deployed 3 autonomous mobile collaborative robots, “LG MoMa (Mobile Manipulator),” to transport materials and perform tasks. In addition, “LG MoMa (Mobile Manipulator)” detects its surrounding environment safely and introduced a physical AI-based smart factory that judges on-site conditions and carries out tasks.
The exhibition then shifts focus to a “Actuator” zone displaying core robot components, presenting LG Electronics’ motor technology, represented by the direct drive (DD) motor used in washing machines, and introducing how that technology is expanding into the field of core components that move robot joints. In this space, the company used the home robot CLOiD and the robot actuator brand “AXIUM” to make the operating principle of actuators inside robot joints easy to understand intuitively.
In the vehicle interior implementation area of the exhibition, the company unveiled “LG AI-powered In-Vehicle Solutions” based on an “In-Cabin” layout. This was presented for the purpose of enhancing safety and convenience inside vehicles and transforming the space into one tailored to occupants.
In the driver’s seat, the company displayed a vehicle display solution applying a transparent OLED display to the vehicle’s front windshield, creating an effect that extends the interface across the cockpit. Along with this, it also exhibited a vision solution that provides safety and convenience information according to the driver’s line of sight. In the rear seats, the company placed an entertainment solution with a display, which delivers customized content, video calls, and translation functions based on AI curation.
At this exhibition, LG Electronics also presented its business expansion direction. It showed a direction of expansion from home appliance and residential space customer experiences into industrial cooling systems, manufacturing automation, robots, and vehicle technologies, concentrating AI solutions that span both everyday life and industry in one place. Through this, it emphasized its technological competitiveness that will drive changes in future living environments and industrial sites.
