Feature Request: AC Display/Panel Light Control

Device: LG Air Conditioner (model: OLED55G56LS region - US account)
Integration version: latest
HA version: 2026.6.4

Description:
The LG ThinQ API supports controlling the AC display/panel light, as confirmed by:

• Homebridge LG ThinQ plugin which already implements this feature
• Issue [Feature Request] AC panel light control #256 which references this capability

The integration already has a light.py file which suggests light entities are partially implemented. However, no light entity appears for AC units.

Request:
Add support for AC display light toggle as a light entity or switch entity, allowing users to turn the panel display on/off via Home Assistant.

Impact:
This is a commonly requested feature — the AC display is very bright and there is no way to turn it off without the physical remote. Having this control in HA would significantly improve the user experience, especially for bedroom installations.
