On April 29, LG Chem announced that it had signed an SGF (Switchable Glazing Film) supply contract with Germany's Webasto, one of the world's top 100 auto parts manufacturing companies. In the future, LG Chem plans to supply SGF products to Webasto, which will be used in cutting-edge smart sunroof systems and installed in European vehicle projects. The transaction size of SGF membrane is expected to reach hundreds of billions of won.

LG Chem joins hands with Webasto to officially enter the automotive dimming film market

*SGF: It is a film that adjusts the degree of light transmission and heat transmission through electrical signals. Mainly used in automotive glass such as sunroofs, it is usually in a non-transparent state. When a voltage is applied, the internal liquid crystal will rearrange and become transparent.

The use of SGF film enables differentiated design of vehicle interiors. Drivers can designate transparent and non-transparent parts of vehicle glass such as sunroofs by area, make the areas in need transparent, and freely adjust the parts they want to produce shadows, while also protecting privacy.
Recently, the application of SGF films in high-end vehicles and electric vehicles has shown a growing trend. It is expected that its market size will reach one trillion won in the next few years.
LG Chem has successfully owned more than 200 SGF-related patents through its liquid crystal and adhesive material technology, precision coating and image forming technology capabilities accumulated in the fields of electronic materials such as displays and semiconductors. Compared with other companies' products, LG Chem's SGF film has less light interference and provides clear vision at multiple angles.
Currently, LG Chem has SGF film production equipment with an annual output suitable for 3 million vehicles.It is planned to ensure mass production this year and officially start sales in the second half of next year. In the future, LG Chem will continue to develop a new generation of products with clearer black color and faster response speed. At the same time, it will expand the application scope of SGF to automobile front and side glass.
In addition, LG Chem will continue to explore various high-value-added electronic materials businesses such as adhesives for electrical equipment and transparent antenna films.





CEO Xin Xuezhe said: "LG Chem will build on its technological strength in the fields of displays, semiconductors and other electronic materials to cultivate the mobility materials business as a new growth engine in the future and continue to innovate customer value."
