Samsung Electronics Develops First 70-inch LCD TV Panel
Features Full HDTV Specifications
Seoul, Korea – August 21, 2006: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., the world’s
largest provider of thin-film transistor, liquid crystal display (TFT-LCD)
panels, has developed the first 70-inch LCD panel for use in the consumer TV
market. Currently, the largest LCD TV screen size is 65 inches in diameter.
The company will unveil its 70-inch LCD HDTV at the International Meeting on
Information Displays (IMID) 2006, which will open in Daegu, Korea on August
23.
Executive Vice President Kim Sang-Soo of Samsung Electronics said, “Our new
70-inch LCD is not only significantly larger, but also sets a new benchmark
of excellence in terms of video image reproduction, viewing angle and image
quality. We’ve designed it to dramatically enhance the large screen LCD TV
user’s viewing experience. ”
Samsung’s latest LCD panel boasts full high-definition resolution (1080p)
and a conical viewing angle of 180 degrees for multi-viewing audiences. In
addition, its video signal is reproduced at 120Hz, compared to a video
signal of 60 Hz for a conventional Full HD LCD panel, enabling rapidly
moving video images to be reproduced with crystal clarity.
Samsung will begin producing the new 70-inch LCD during the first half of
2007, bolstering its position in the ultra-large-screen TV segment. With the
introduction of the 70” LCD TV, the company will be in a position to compete
head-to-head with PDP (plasma display panel) and projection TV makers.
