Demonstrating its world leadership in display technologies, Samsung Electronics Co exhibited innovative new products ranging from large-screen LCD panels for televisions and digital information displays to the most advanced mobile products at the Society for Information Display (SID) International Symposium, Seminar and Exhibition.

The event was held from May 18 to 23 at the Los Angeles Convention Center.
 
At SID 2008, Samsung unveiled the industry’s first 82-inch LCD TV panel with ultra-definition (3,840 x 2,160 pixels) resolution at a 120Hz refresh rate. It displays ultra-definition (UD) resolution at 120 frames per second, minimising the blurring that is experienced at 60Hz. 

A red/green/blue LED backlight has been added to raise true color saturation to 150 percent, based on the NISC standard of 100 per cent.
 
“This 82-inch LCD is large enough to cover all viewing angles with ultra-definition resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate that will allow viewers to watch motion pictures as if they are really in them,” said executive vice-president of the LCD Technology Centre at Samsung Electronics Sang Soo Kim.

Samsung also introduced an 82-inch “e-board” with a multi-touch screen, which is a product that is destined to replace whiteboards and beam projectors. It was created using a 60Hz UD LCD panel and is the largest panel of its kind with a multi-touch screen. At the same time, UD resolution is built-in to deliver the very best digital information display.
 
Additionally, Samsung exhibited a multi-view digital information display (DID) that delivers 3D images without requiring special glasses. The company is confident that this display can establish a new niche market apart from other DIDs previously introduced.
 
A 40-inch full-HD LCD TV panel is also be showcased that operates with only two source driver ICs, instead of the normal combination of six source drivers and three gate drivers. This breakthrough lowers production costs and will make LCD TVs affordable to many more consumers.  
 
Finally, Samsung introduced a 15-inch LCD with “blue phase mode,” and 2.3-inch e-paper that uses electrodes made from carbon nanotubes for enhanced “fold-ability.” – TradeArabia News Service
