We are currently looking for an Intern to join the Product Planning Team. LG's 2025 Summer Internship Program will be a 9-week internship from June 2 through August 1, 2025. The internship will be based in office at the LG North America Innovation Campus in Englewood Cliffs, NJ and pay an hourly rate of $25.00. The LG Internship Program is built on the philosophy of ensuring that each intern is given the opportunity to perform robust and meaningful work while gaining real-world experience. The program will also include each intern working on an individual strategic project for the department and delivering a presentation at the program's end. The project is expected to focus on developing a new measurement metric to accurately distinguish the luminance reproduction of accuracy of OLED and LCD panels, particularly predicting the blooming effect in LCDs. Using a high-grade camera or imaging colorimeter, the metric will enable per-pixel error analysis. However, challenges such as the limited resolution of measurement devices and the presence of Moire patterns require multiple correction steps to refine the image measurements. As a Research Scientist Intern, you will contribute to Spatial Consistency project by developing a measurement procedure to assess how accurately a display reproduces an input image at a per-pixel level without introducing distortion.
