LG Innotek, an electronic component manufacturing company, has recently announced the successful development of a high-efficiency, lowest power loss ferrite across the world. The new development will enable the company to significantly increase its prominence in the TV & vehicle power markets.

As a magnetic material, ferrite, in powder form, has been gaining widespread adoption for industrial use. The material is installed in chargers, vehicle power sources, and TV power modules to cut unnecessary signals and change the voltage. This ensures a stable power supply to the display panels in air conditioners and TVs as well as audio systems in vehicles.

Ferrite is increasingly used to develop high-efficiency and ultra-slim products and is being regarded as a next-gen material. This material developed by LG has up to 40% less power loss from the heat as compared to other general ferrites. Additionally, the low-loss characteristics are maintained at -40°C-140°C temperatures, which will help realize the suitable quality in TV interiors and different driving environments.

High-efficiency ferrite developed by LG Innotek is essential in manufacturing ultra-slim TVs as well as reducing vehicles’ weight to drive fuel efficiency for hydrogen and electric vehicles. The material is used to reduce 60% of the TV thickness by making its power module only 9.9mm. The material can also reduce the thickness to 20mm or even less. This is due to the fact that the components for securing the required power are cut by 1/3rd due to power loss.

Additionally, high-efficiency ferrite can surge the TV power modules’ energy efficiency by over 5% points, leading to a considerable extension of the component life.

LG Innotek has been incorporating promotional activities for the electronic companies and automakers across the globe for the mass production of this material in the 1st half of 2021. The company has been increasingly developing advanced materials with high performance based on nearly 120 related patents, in order to solidify its position as the top technology company for high-efficiency ferrite.
