Independent Auditors’ Report

Based on a report originally issued in Korean

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors

LG Display Co., Ltd.:

We have audited the accompanying non-consolidated balance sheet of LG Display Co., Ltd. (formerly, LG.Philips LCD Co., Ltd.) (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2008, and the related non-consolidated statements of income, appropriations of retained earnings, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the year then ended. These non-consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to issue a report on these financial statements based on our audit. The accompanying non-consolidated financial statements of the Company as of December 31, 2007 were audited by Samil PricewaterhouseCoopers, whose report thereon dated February 15, 2008 expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of Korea. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the non-consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2008 and the results of its operations, the appropriation of its retained earnings, the changes in its equity and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of Korea.

As discussed in note 2(b) to the non-consolidated financial statements, accounting principles and auditing standards and their application in practice vary among countries. The accompanying non-consolidated financial statements are not intended to present the financial position, results of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows in accordance with accounting principles and practices generally accepted in countries other than the Republic of Korea. In addition, the procedures and practices utilized in the Republic of Korea to audit such non-consolidated financial statements may differ from those generally accepted and applied in other countries. Accordingly, this report and the accompanying non-consolidated financial statements are for use by those knowledgeable about Korean accounting procedures and auditing standards and their application in practice.

Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to the following:

As discussed in note 18(b) to the non-consolidated financial statements, the Company is under investigations by fair trade or antitrust authorities in Korea, Japan, Canada and European Commission with respect to possible anti-competitive activities in the LCD industry as of December 31, 2008. In addition, the Company has been named as defendants in a number of federal class actions in the United States and Canada alleging that the defendants violated the antitrust laws in connection with the sale of LCD panels, and the Company and certain of its officers and directors have been named as defendants in a federal class action in the United States by shareholders of the Company alleging violations of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
