LG Electronics (LG) is making a statement in Smartphone design with collaboration with the Keith Haring Foundation.
The partnership will see artwork from the legendary American pop artist featured on LGâs Optimus Black, which at just 6 mm (at its thinnest point) and 109 grams, takes the crown as the worldâs slimmest and lightest Android-powered Smartphone.
âKeith Haring inspired the art world with his energetic, colorful images which are recognized by millions of people around the world,â said Dr. Jong-seok Park, President and CEO of LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company. âWe hope to capture some of that âjoie de vivreâ through this partnership as itâs perfectly consistent with our âLifeâs Goodâ philosophy.â
LG and the Keith Haring Foundation have selected two of the artistâs works to create iconic back covers for the LG Optimus Black. This is the second time LG has worked with the foundation â" in 2008 LG and the foundation collaborated on the LG KF600 and LG KF700 with the goal of bringing more art into peopleâs lives.
âThe Keith Haring Foundation is pleased to be working with LG again,â said Julia Gruen, Executive Director of the Keith Haring Foundation. âThe partnership with LG is an extension of Keithâs goal of extending his work to different audiences in an effort to break down the barriers that exist between the art community and everyday people.â
Making a bold visual statement, the LG Optimus Black offers sleek and smooth lines that are both stylish and functional. No matter how itâs held, the LG Optimus Black delivers high-quality sound as a result of an antenna designed to be completely free from physical interference.
Featuring the NOVA display, the Optimus Black provides optimal brightness and readability under any lighting conditions. The NOVA screen delivers a more natural web browsing experience by displaying truer whites while also cutting energy use by 50 percent compared to conventional LCDs. The Optimus Black also offers a more intuitive user environment where frequently used functions can be accessed directly from the locked screen with a tap, tilt or shake command. Other features include the worldâs first 2 megapixel front-facing camera and Android 2.3 upgrade capability.
