Twenty-seven of LG Electronics (LG) 2013 products were recognized by the red dot design awards for their excellence in the field of design.

A panel of 37 independent judges considered over 4,662 products from 1,865 manufacturers, designers and architects from 54 countries.

LG took top honors by receiving the coveted red dot: best of the best award for its new curved OLED TV.

LG also received 24 other red dot design awards in addition to two honorable mentions.

“Design has always been an important part of our DNA and in recent years it’s become even more important that we differentiate our products in an industry that has become synonymous with great looking products,” said Scott Ahn, head of corporate design at LG Electronics.

“Our ultimate philosophy is to incorporate designs that work but also evoke an emotional response. The design awards are a testament to the company’s success in this regard.”

Highlights of LG’s key products recognized at the 2013 red dot design awards include:

Curved OLED TV: First unveiled at the 2013 Consumer Electronics Show, LG’s curved OLED TV (model EA9800) introduces a unique design that capitalizes on the thinness of the display and the aesthetic beauty of the technology itself. The unique EA9800 features the industry’s very first ergonomically curved screen design with vivid picture quality. It has a gentle inward flex, making the entire screen surface equidistant from the viewer’s eyes. This eliminates screen-edge visual distortion and loss of detail.

Smartphones that turn heads: LG’s first Full HD smartphone, the Optimus G Pro, comes with a 5.5-inch Full HD IPS display and new UX features.

This unique was specifically developed to meet the growing demand for smartphones with extra-large screens. The Optimus L3II is part of the newly introduced Optimus L SeriesII which embodies the beauty of the original L Series but with a more refined touch. The Optimus L3II continues LG’s design heritage with four new elements that make the device eye catching and fun to use — Seamless Layout, Laser Cut Contour, Radiant Rear Design, and Smart LED Lighting around the home button with various colors for notifications.
