South Korean electronics manufacturer LG is seeking to patent a television that would enable users to trade non-fungible tokens (NFTs) directly from their living rooms.
The device would be capable of connecting to an NFT market server and displaying preview artwork, while purchases would be facilitated through the user’s cryptocurrency wallet.
LG initially entered the NFT market last year, when it launched the Art Lab marketplace connected to the Hedera Network, on which it has been a node operator since 2020.
The filing of a patent suggests the company is confident of future demand for NFTs and sees the technology as a potential revenue stream. Other major players in the electronics industry, including Samsung, have also entered the NFT market in recent months.
