LG has announced that it will be showcasing a new, unique style of car antenna at CES 2024 in January.
Designed in a collaboration with French glass manufacturer, Saint-Gobain Sekurit, LG says the transparent antenna will be compatible with a range of glass types and vehicle models. Designed to be integrated into a car’s windshield or glass sunroof, the technology that makes up “film type” antenna has over 80 patents from LG.

The strips of film that make up the transparent antenna can be affixed onto a windshield’s glass surface, or can even be built into the glass itself. LG claims the transparent antenna offers enhanced connectivity and supports 5G, GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) and Wi-Fi.
“We’re pleased to unveil our smart glass featuring LG’s transparent antenna technology.” said Thibaut Heitz, Innovation and R&D Director of Saint-Gobain Sekurit. “In collaboration with LG, a leader in vehicle component solutions, we are pioneering advancements in vehicle telecommunications. Our common objective aim is to provide an enriched and unique in-vehicle environment, bringing the future of mobility to fruition.”
