Trade, Industry and Energy Minister Lee Chang-yang held the Display Industry Innovation Strategy Roundtable on May 18 at the Courtyard by Marriott Seoul Namdaemun and led discussions on Korea’s display industry development and strategy directions.

Minister Lee remarked that “the Display Industry Innovation Strategy announced today is significant in that it is the outcome of deliberation and a first step taken by the Government and the private sector to reclaim the top spot in the global display market,” stating that “gaining 50 percent of the world’s total market share, outpacing competitors in technology by at least five years, achieving over 80 percent independence in materials, parts and equipment, and training up 9,000 professional workers,” are some of the goals that the Government and firms must by all means realize through concerted efforts.

The event was attended by various experts from academia, R&D and firms in the display industry, including those from Samsung and LG Display, Korea Electronics Technology Institute (KETI) and Korea Display Industry Association (KDIA).
