 April 2, Seoul — OD Hitech, a leading Korean outdoor LCD manufacturer, announced today that it has been granted a United States patent for its proprietary technology titled "Touchscreen Device and Method for Controlling the Same."

 This milestone marks a significant achievement in Korea’s industrial display sector, as it is the first time a domestic outdoor LCD company has independently secured a U.S. patent for touchscreen-related technology. The development reflects growing international recognition of Korea’s capabilities in panel PC technology for industrial and electric vehicle (EV) applications.

OD Hitech’s patented solution addresses key challenges faced by conventional EV charger touchscreens, including excessive power consumption, overheating, and the "blackout" phenomenon—where extended exposure to sunlight causes the LCD panel to turn black and malfunction. The new technology enhances performance by forcibly circulating heat to prevent blackouts, reducing thermal output, minimizing noise, extending product lifespan, and lowering power usage.

“With the rapid global adoption of EVs and increasing demand for charging infrastructure, securing this U.S. patent is a highly meaningful step,” said an industry expert. “It underscores the global competitiveness of Korean technology in the EV and industrial display markets.”

For over two decades, OD Hitech has been at the forefront of Korea’s outdoor LCD sector. The company develops and supplies a wide range of high-performance display products, including EV charger panel PCs, industrial touch monitors, and transparent LCDs, catering to industries such as advertising and broadcasting.

A company spokesperson added, “We will continue to focus on developing proprietary, globally competitive technologies. Our goal is to promote OD Hitech’s expertise in outdoor LCD development and manufacturing to international markets and drive global expansion.”
