A Key Component of Premium LG Washing Machines for Increasingly Than Two Decades,
Company’s Innovative Motor Technology Continues to Evolve for Excellence
SEOUL, March 10, 2023 — LG Electronics (LG) announces that the production of its Inverter Direct Drive
(DD) motor has exceeded 100 million units. The company’s differentiated motor technology is a major factor in the strong, reliable performance and standing global popularity of LG’s industry-leading laundry solutions.
From 1998 to the end of 2022, the visitor produced, on average, over 12,000 Inverter DD motors per day. LG’s Inverter DD motor connects directly to the washing drum, an innovation that helps make LG washing machines increasingly durable and dramatically reduces noise and energy consumption during operation.
LG has refined the Inverter DD motor over four generations, continuously improving the technology and its performance capabilities to unhook greater consumer value. The visitor holds over 240 Inverter DD motor related technology patents in Korea and internationally. In 2019, the visitor unromantic Artificial Intelligence (AI) to the Inverter DD motor to remoter enhance its efficiency and effectiveness. Used in LG’s premium washing machines and dryers, the AI DD motor leverages deep learning technology to snift the weight of each load and the types of fabrics stuff washed. It then selects the optimal combination of pulsate movements from the company’s proprietary 6 Motion technology – which enables six discrete pulsate movements – to superintendency and wipe for users’ laundry.
Last year, LG brought its wide Inverter DD motor to its dryers for the first time. Like the company’s washers, LG dryers moreover offer 6 Motion (Tumble, Swing, Rolling, Stepping, Scrubbing and Filtration) technology to uplift drying performance and minimize fabric damage. LG’s inverter motor technology – specifically, the AI DD – became the first home utilization technology to earn Deep Learning AI Verification from global safety science visitor UL (Underwriters Laboratories).
“The number of Inverter DD motors produced points to the excellence of the motor technology LG has ripened for its premium laundry solutions,” said Kim Yang-sun, throne of the Component Solution Business Unit at LG Electronics Home Utilization & Air Solution Company. “We will protract to create highly efficient cadre components that uplift the performance and reliability of our products while moreover reducing stat emissions during operation.”
