LG LAUNCHES WORLD’S FASTEST A4 COLOR DESKTOP PRINTER POWERED BY MEMJET

Prints High-Quality Color Documents at Astounding Speeds

SEOUL, June 21, 2011 — LG Electronics (LG) and Memjet, a global provider of high-speed color printing technologies, today jointly introduced Memjet’s breakthrough office printing technology into the Korean market. The Machjet LPP6010N, the world’s fastest A4 color desktop printer, will be available this month through authorized LG resellers and channel partners.

Until now, printing technology has been limited to laser and traditional inkjet systems. The Machjet represents an entirely new category of printing technology that makes possible high-quality color printing at never-before seen speeds and quality. Memjet’s ground-breaking, high-density page-wide printheads and components enable printers to operate twice as fast but at only half the cost to run versus traditional color

office printers, on average.

“LG prides itself on launching truly innovative products and is pleased to bring the world’s fastest A4 color desktop printers powered by Memjet’s game-changing printing technology to the Korean market,” said Sihwan Park, vice president of LG Electronics’ monitors and printers business unit. “The Machjet delivers completely new levels of color performance and affordability and uses significantly less energy versus laser printers.”

The Machjet leapfrogs over current printers with high-quality color outputs in 1600×800 dpi resolution at 60 pages per minute. Memjet’s proprietary Page Straight Array (PSA) Technology packs more than 70,000 ink nozzles on a single printhead — 17 times the nozzle density of traditional printheads — allowing the Machjet to deliver more than 700 million drops of ink per second on a page.

Len Lauer, president and CEO of Memjet, said: “Combining Memjet’s core technology benefits with LG’s brand, corporate capabilities and vast distribution network, LG is creating exciting new value for Korean customers looking to be more efficient and cost effective in their office printing.”

Printers that are “powered by Memjet” are also energy efficient and less expensive to operate. While competitive color laser printers use on average approximately 600W of electricity during normal operations, the Machjet consumes just 32W. Costs are further reduced via the Machjet’s Hyper Small Drop Technology. The Machjet takes advantage of smaller droplets to minimize the amount of ink required to render clean, crisp text and images at high speed. This technology results in faster-drying ink and reduces the TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) by up to 70 percent when compared to competitive color laser printers.

Such innovation has given Memjet a significant intellectual property position in the industry with more than 3,000 approved global patents and another 2,000 pending.

ALL-IN-ONE PC

LG AND INTEL INTRODUCE FIRST ALL-IN-ONE PC WITH FPR DISPLAY AND IPS SCREEN TECHNOLOGY

A model is posing with the LG all-in-one PC model V3001

LG V300 Offers Convenient 3D with

the Power of 2^nd Generation Intel^® Core™ Processors

SEOUL, May. 31, 2011 –- LG Electronics (LG) will be unveiling its first all-in-one PC which will feature the innovative Film-type Patterned Retarder (FPR) display, found in its popular CINEMA 3D TVs. The LG V300, developed in partnership with Intel, will be unveiled at Computex 2011, Asia’s largest IT exhibition, in Taipei from May 31 to June 4.

The LG V300 will come with an impressive list of features including 2^nd Generation Intel Core processors, 3D FPR display, In Plane Switch (IPS) screen technology that creates a stunning 178-degree viewing angle and a triple camera system for superb multitouch capability.

“The combination of the newest Intel Core processor and the FPR display in the LG V300 is going to create a new level of performance and viewing experience in a PC,” said J.J. Lee, Executive Vice President and Head of the LG Electronics PC Business Unit. “With millions of homes now using their PCs as entertainment hubs, marrying the best from the computing world with the best from the display world was the next natural

step in the evolution of the PC.”

“2^nd Generation Intel Core processor paves the way for great all-in-one systems like LG Electronics new V300. ” said Mooly Eden, Vice President and General Manager of Intel PC Client Group. “The V300 combines LG Electronics’ display technology with 2^nd Generation Intel Core’s great performance and built-in visuals to create an awesome PC experience. ”

Better 3D, No Discomfort

The 23-inch 3D Full HD LED monitor on the LG V300 offers vivid and crisp 3D images with less crosstalk and flicker. And because FPR does not require glasses to sync with an emitter, heavy shutter-type glasses are a thing of the past. Instead, the LG V300 comes with two sets of lightweight polarized glasses for a more comfortable and enjoyable 3D experience. Furthermore, the viewing experience on previous 3D displays was negatively affected by non-perpendicular viewing angles. This problem has largely been eliminated with the LG V300’s IPS technology, which allows for an impressive 178-degree viewing angle. The system operates a Color Shift configuration that accurately renders colors and images for viewers not directly facing the screen.

Minimalism Is In

LG’s engineering team reduced the thickness of the LG V300’s active display to a mere 44.65mm, which is up to 65 percent slimmer than other leading models. This focus on reducing unnecessary bulk was then incorporated into LG’s concept of minimalism. With a wireless keyboard and mouse, the design requires only a single power cable, eliminating clutter and tangled cords. The end effect is a sleek, clean appearance that

fits elegantly into any interior décor.

An Enhanced Multi-touch Experience with a Triple Camera System

With three individual camera sensors to provide a more accurate multi-touch functionality, LG’s new PC brings a higher level of precision to the touchscreen experience. The user interface has also been optimized to be as intuitive as possible, and the interface itself is supported with easy-to-use applications. The final result is a smooth yet sophisticated multi-touch interaction between the LG V300 and the user, free from ghosting and glitches.

The LG V300 also includes full support for Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) to enable sharing of data between devices as well as Intel’s Wireless Display, also known as ‘Wi-Di’ to wirelessly stream content to a TV. LG V300 will launch in Korea in July followed by markets in Europe, Middle East and

Asia.

Front view of the LG Side-by-Side Refrigerator placed in a modern kitchen

New Model Boasts Top Energy Efficiency, Enhanced Freshness

and Industry-Leading Smart Features

Seoul, May 27, 2011 — LG Electronics (LG) has unveiled its brand new 614-liter side-by-side refrigerator, which boasts the first A++ energy-efficiency rating¹ in the European Union (EU) for any fridge equipped with both a dispenser and a Home-Bar. With an enlarged usable inner space, the new fridge packs a raft of smart functions and innovative features — including Hygiene Filter, which keeps food fresher for longer, and the Slim Door Mounted Ice Maker, incorporating a compact design to further maximize the usable area inside the fridge.

LG’s new side-by-side refrigerator comes with a range of smart and innovative LG technologies with much improved energy efficiency. After introducing its A++ rated side-by-side refrigerator with a dispenser last year, LG has this year added a Home-Bar feature while maintaining the A++ rating for energy consumption.

Underpinning the side-by-side fridge’s exceptional energy efficiency is LG’s Linear Compressor Technology. The compressor controls cooling power and reduces internal friction to greatly reduce power consumption, while also making the fridge quieter and more durable. As a result, not only does the fridge offer an A++ energy-efficiency rating, it also comes with a 10-year warranty on the Linear Compressor motor.²

The new refrigerator also offers enhanced freshness thanks to its Hygiene Filter. As the world’s first air purifying system in a refrigerator, LG’s Hygiene Filter eliminates 99.9 percent of dust, bacteria, and odors through four steps of anti-bacterial care and deodorization. The Hygiene Filter works in conjunction with a fan certified by Intertek, one of Europe’s leading product certification and testing agencies.

By developing the Slim Door Mounted Ice Maker, the first of its kind in the industry, LG has confirmed its position as a leading innovator in the refrigerator market. This ultra-compact device conceals the ice-making system inside the refrigerator’s door, freeing up extra door bins and shelf space to maximize both space and energy efficiency.

An exterior touch LED/LCD display makes messages clear and easy to read, while strips of bright LED lighting inside the refrigerator make it easier to see items stored deep inside.

LG’s new side-by-side refrigerator will be available across Europe, beginning with Germany next month.

¹ According to EU Energy Label

² Offer only applies to linear compressors purchased after October 29, 2009, in Korea, or after December 1, 2009, in other countries (noise levels will not normally be considered a valid reason for exchange or refund).

LG WINS EU’S FIRST A+++ AND A++ ENERGY RANKINGS FOR BOTTOM-FREEZER AND SIDE-BY-SIDE FRIDGE

Linear Compressor Keeps Energy Consumption to a Minimum,

Bumper-Sized Capacity and Well-Designed Inner Space Offer Greater Convenience

Seoul, May 27, 2011 — LG Electronics (LG) is continuing its long-standing commitment to improving energy efficiency with its new 385-liter bottom-freezer and 614-liter side-by-side refrigerator, the first freezer and fridge, respectively, to receive an A+++1 and A++2 energy ranking in the EU. With energy savings made possible by LG’s unique Linear Compressor Technology, the appliances also boast some of the largest inner capacities in the industry.

The Linear Compressor works in conjunction with a smart inner structure and thinner insulation to maximize space in the bottom-freezer and side-by-side fridge — indeed, the bottom-freezer has the largest capacity of any freezer in its class. Providing a larger, more organized space for consumers to store their food, the new refrigerator allows more room for groceries, meaning fewer trips to the supermarket.

“Receiving these energy ratings was a major achievement for us, and a big step forward for the home appliance industry on the whole,” said Young-ha Lee, President and CEO of LG Home Appliance Company. “It demonstrates exactly where we are headed with all our refrigerator models for 2011 — constant improvements in energy consumption, along with smart savings in efficiency, space and accessibility.”

A+++ Large Capacity Bottom-Freezer: Smart Savings, Durability and Design Excellence

Thanks to LG’s unique Linear Compressor, the bottom-freezer keeps the interior temperature steady — leaving food as fresh as it was in the grocery store — while using up to 50 percent less energy than previous A+ rated bottom-freezers. This improved energy efficiency translates into savings of as much as 60 euros a year3 compared with A rated refrigerators, and up to 93kg of annual reductions in CO2 emissions. In addition, by incorporating LG’s latest spiral-fin heat exchanger, the bottom-freezer significantly improves heat exchange and keeps the fridge temperature even and cool in a more efficient manner.

Fewer friction points — one instead of the four in conventional compressors — work to significantly reduce noise levels. This enhances the product’s durability, allowing LG to offer a 10-year warranty on the Linear Compressor motor.4 Additionally, the bottom-freezer’s design was honored with an iF Design Award and a Red Dot Design Award this year.

A++ Side-by-Side Refrigerator: Providing Even Greater Energy Savings

In addition to its Linear Compressor, the new side-by-side refrigerator incorporates a range of smart and innovative LG technologies to improve energy efficiency. In 2010, LG received an A++ rating for its dispenser-equipped side-by-side refrigerator, the first time such an appliance had received this rating in the EU. LG’s new side-by-side refrigerator has this year added a Home-Bar feature on top of the dispenser, while maintaining the A++ rating for energy consumption.

The innovative Slim Door Mounted Ice Maker saves space by providing a compact indoor ice maker. This has allowed for a higher volume of usable inner space without increasing the overall size of the refrigerator or decreasing energy efficiency. LG also offers a 10-year warranty on the Linear Compressor motor.

# # #

¹ LG’s new bottom-freezer refrigerators achieved an A+++ rating according to the EU Energy Label, a first in the EU among refrigerators with a capacity of over 350 liters.

² LG’s new side-by-side refrigerator achieved an A++ rating according to the EU Energy Label, making it the first side-by-side refrigerator in the EU equipped with both a dispenser and a Home-Bar to receive this rating.

³ Based on average electricity usage in German households

⁴ Offer only applies to linear compressors purchased after October 29, 2009, in Korea, or after December 1, 2009, in other countries (noise levels will not normally be considered a valid reason for exchange or refund).

Profit Recovery on Track with Strong Lineup of High-End Products

and Results of Aggressive Cost Saving Efforts

SEOUL, Apr. 27, 2011 –- Showing significant progress on its profit recovery, LG Electronics (LG) today announced unaudited financial results for the three-month period ending March 31, 2011. Stronger operating profits reflected successful cost-reduction efforts and steady performance in all four business units. The company expects to see further growth with strong lineup of strategic products such as the CINEMA 3D TVs adopting Film Patterned Retarder (FPR) technology and smartphones under the LG Optimus brand.

Sales and Profit

LG posted consolidated first quarter 2011 revenues of KRW 13.2 trillion (USD 11.7 billion) a 0.4 percent decline in won from the same period last year (up 2 percent USD). After two consecutive quarters of losses, operating profit turned the corner with KRW 131 billion (USD 116 million). LG recorded a KRW 16 billion (USD 14 million) net loss this quarter mainly due to a KRW 56 billion loss (USD 50 million) on investments in affiliated

companies.

LG Home Entertainment Company posted a revenue decrease of 4.8 percent to KRW 5.3 trillion (USD 4.7 billion) compared with the first quarter of 2010, reflecting slower demand and average selling price decline. However, LG shipped more flat panel TVs in the first quarter, 6.8 million units, a 13 percent increase from the same period last year. Thanks to cost-cutting efforts, the company saw progress in its turnaround quarter-overquarter, posting a KRW 82 billion (USD 73.1 million) operating profit in the first quarter. An aggressive product lineup, led by CINEMA 3D TVs and Smart TVs, is expected to continue to drive profits and expand market share for the Home Entertainment business.

LG Mobile Communications Company first-quarter revenues decreased by 8.3 percent year-over-year to KRW 2.9 trillion (USD 2.6 billion). While overall handset shipments declined quarter-over-quarter as a result of slow seasonality, operating profit showed significant improvement in the first quarter due to an increase in smartphones in the company’s portfolio and reduction in overhead costs. The company expects to improve its product mix by launching new smartphones including the LG Optimus Black and the LG Optimus 3D and gain profitability by further cutting costs.

LG Home Appliance Company saw 13.4 percent increase in revenues year-over-year with KRW 2.7 trillion (USD 2.4 billion). First-quarter 2011 operating profit was KRW 103 billion (USD 91 million). Revenues increased in the overseas markets due to strong sales in North America and continuous growth in emerging markets such as Russia, India and other Asian markets. The company will continue to launch market-leading products while investing in new business areas and maintain profitability despite concerns over some component availability in the aftermath of the Japan earthquake and rise in raw material costs.

LG Air-Conditioning and Energy Solution Company first-quarter revenues grew 23.8 percent year-over-year to KRW 1.45 trillion (USD 1.3 billion) with operating profits of KRW 39 billion (USD 35 million). The company saw strong growth in Korea, the Americas and CIS markets with strategic offerings such as Multi V commercial air conditioning and Inverter products. Despite potential risks with political instability in the Middle East and Africa and cooler than expected weather in Asia, the company expects to see a growth in demand for both residential and commercial air conditioners as the peak selling season approaches. Continuous investments in LG’s business-to-business infrastructure and new business opportunities are expected to fuel the company’s long-term growth.

2011 2Q Business Direction and Prospects

LG Electronics expects to see solid growth in the second quarter of 2011 with the start of the high season for air conditioners, continued momentum in home appliances, and aggressive global sales of LG CINEMA 3D TVs and Optimus smartphones. LG will continue to introduce new products in major categories including smartphones while investing persistently in R&D and marketing.
