LG Display Achieves ASPICE Certification: A New Milestone in Automotive Technology

In a significant advancement for the automotive industry, LG Display has announced its achievement of Automotive SPICE (ASPICE) Capability Level 2 (CL2) certification from the certification body CBIS. This accomplishment emphasizes LG Display's commitment to not only innovating in display technology but also maintaining top-notch software quality and reliability within the automotive sector.

Parsing deeper into automotive display technology, LG Display has integrated proprietary diagnostic and control functions into their displays aimed at enhancing vehicle instrument clusters and center fascias. The certification solidifies LG Display's role as a key partner in ensuring high standards of software quality and reliability within automotive electronic systems.

Understanding ASPICE

ASPICE stands for Automotive-Software Process Improvement Capability dEtermination and is recognized as an international standard established by the automotive industry. Its main goal is to assess the software development capabilities and reliability of suppliers in the automotive sector. As vehicles increasingly incorporate electronic control units (ECUs), the risk associated with software defects rises sharply; even minor glitches could lead to catastrophic accidents or extensive recalls. Hence, managing software meticulously from the development stage is now more vital than ever. ASPICE evaluates systematic processes to ensure effective software development across the automotive landscape.

Transitioning to Software-Defined Vehicles

The automotive industry is witnessing a significant shift from traditional hardware-centric vehicles to Software-Defined Vehicles (SDVs). This transformation not only changes how vehicles operate but also redefines the function of in-vehicle displays. As their role evolves, displays are expected to act as advanced platforms that not only provide information but encompass infotainment and vehicle control as well.

In December, an additional achievement for LG Display came with obtaining ISO/SAE 21434 certification, the international standard for automotive cybersecurity engineering. Securing the ASPICE CL2 certification further underscores the competitiveness and innovation found in the company’s automotive display offerings.

Future Directions and Strategic Partnerships

With the certification in hand, LG Display is poised to bolster its position in key markets, particularly in North America, as it seeks to secure new business opportunities. The focus will also extend towards enhancing strategic partnerships with clients as the automotive sector continues to trend towards software-centric innovations.

According to Keuk-sang Kwon, Head of the Auto Business Group at LG Display, "Achieving ASPICE CL2 validates that LG Display's automotive displays not only provide hardware excellence but also exhibit superior software capabilities. Our goal is to continue elevating our leadership in the automotive display market based on proprietary technologies and to advance as a technology-driven company that effectively delivers customer value."
