SECTION 1 – CONFLICT MINERALS DISCLOSURE
| Item 1.01: | Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report |
A company is required to file Form SD pursuant to Rule 13p-1 promulgated under the Exchange Act if it manufactures, or contracts to manufacture, products for which certain specified minerals are necessary to the functionality or production of the products. These minerals consist of columbite-tantalite (also referred to as “coltan”), cassiterite and wolframite (and their derivatives tantalum, tin, and tungsten), and gold and are referred to as “conflict minerals” (also referred to herein as “3TG minerals”) regardless of the geographic origin of the minerals and whether or not they fund armed conflict.
LG Display Co., Ltd. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, also referred to herein as “we” or “our”) manufactures display panels and OLED light panels for which we have determined that 3TG minerals are necessary to the functionality or production of those products. Accordingly, we conducted in good faith a reasonable country of origin inquiry (“RCOI”) with respect to 3TG minerals contained in those products manufactured in 2017. We believe our RCOI was reasonably designed to determine whether any 3TG minerals contained in our products originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country (together, the “Covered Countries”), or are from recycled or scrap sources.
We have prepared a Conflict Minerals Report, which is attached as an exhibit hereto and also publicly available on our website at www.lgdisplay.com.
| Item 1.02: | Exhibit |
A Conflict Minerals Report is attached as Exhibit 1.01 to this report.
