At CES ’26, LG Innotek’s booth showed their approach is about reducing complexity while expanding functionality. They showed a variety of camera technologies, including cameras hidden behind displays. In these designs, the camera sits physically behind the screen, eliminating visible camera holes. The camera can operate through the display, and when privacy is required, the display itself can visually block the camera area rather than relying on mechanical shutters.
They showed a compact dual-sensing camera module combining RGB, infrared, and structured light in a single unit. This enables driver and occupant monitoring, face-recognition functions, and depth sensing, all in a much smaller package than before. The level of miniaturization was striking, with significant size reduction and improved performance.
