Korean NPU maker DEEPX's new chip wins CES Innovation Award

Korean neural processing unit (NPU) developer DEEPX's new artificial intelligence (AI) chip has been named a CES 2027 Innovation Awards honoree in the AI category, the company said Tuesday. The CES Innovation Awards recognize products based on their technological capabilities, design and innovation. The award-winning chip is DX-M2, an ultra-low-power generative AI chip designed to run large language models (LLMs) and vision-language models (VLMs) directly on robots and industrial devices. It is built on Samsung Electronics' 2-nanometer foundry process and designed to perform generative AI inference while consuming approximately 5 watts of power. While conventional on-device AI chips primarily focus on image recognition and object detection, the DX-M2 is designed to enable devices to understand their surroundings and make decisions using generative AI. DEEPX expects the chip to reduce reliance on cloud computing and expand AI applications in robots, smart devices and industrial systems. The DX-M2 completed its mask tape-out earlier this month, which is the process of transferring finalized

LG Innotek wins CES Innovation Award with automotive lighting module

LG Innotek said Tuesday that its next-generation automotive lighting module, Nexlide C+, has won a CES 2027 Innovation Award, marking the third consecutive year that its Nexlide series has received the recognition. Nexlide is LG Innotek's flexible automotive lighting brand which uses the company’s own optical design, light distribution technologies and advanced materials to enable various lighting designs in a thinner profile. LG Innotek holds more than 700 patents related to surface lighting technology. Nexlide C+ won the recognition with its capability to display two or more three-dimensional images through a single lighting module. For example, the same module can show diagonal patterns when viewed from the left and vertical patterns when viewed from the right, creating different visual effects depending on the viewing angle. The technology can be used in various parts of a vehicle, including taillights, front grille lighting and interior ambient lighting. Nexlide C+ is also less than 3 millimeters thick, allowing it to fit into narrow spaces inside vehicles. LG Innotek said it is t
