SEOUL -- A curved display on the ceiling, a coffee maker, a refrigerator, and even a compartment to dry and refresh shoes. These are some of the amenities that LG Electronics and Hyundai have put in a concept cabin that makes a vehicle feel like a home away from home.

The ceiling display features organic light-emitting diode, or OLED, technology. The 77-inch screen can be split to show different content to each of the two back-seat passengers. Such LG offerings as high-end speakers were also modified for in-vehicle use.
