Samsung Showcases 82" Ultra-definition" LCD TV at 120Hz
Samsung will exhibit new products ranging from the 82-inch "Ultra-Definition" LCD with 120Hz Refresh, to advanced mobile products, at the Society for Information Display (SID) International Symposium, Seminar and Exhibition.
Samsung will unveil the first 82-inch LCD TV panel with an 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, minimizing the blurring that is sometimes 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 percent.
"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 Sang Soo Kim, executive vice president of the LCD Technology Center at Samsung Electronics. "It is the optimal display for future TVs."
Samsung will also introduce an 82-inch "e-board" with a multi-touch screen, which is destined to replace whiteboards and beam projectors. It was created using a 60Hz LCD panel with built-in UD resolution and is the largest panel of its kind with a multi-touch screen.
Additionally, Samsung will exhibit 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 will 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 will introduce a 15-inch LCD with a "blue phase mode," and 2.3-inch e-paper that uses electrodes made from carbon nanotubes for enhanced "fold-ability." Visitors will be able to view these and other products, such as a multi-tasking monitor with a 16:9 aspect ratio and environment-friendly panels for TVs, at the Samsung SID booth. The 2008 SID International Symposium, Seminar and Exhibition in the Los Angeles Convention Center, May 18-23.
