Setting itself apart from other TV manufacturers like Sony, Sharp, Philips, and others, Samsung Electronics has started developing thin-film transistor LCD (Liquid crystal display) TVs. These TVs will be produced from after the first quarter of next year. They will compete to be the leading next-generation LCD TVs. On May 15, the digital media division of Samsung Electronics stated that it joined with Cheil Industries to develop LCD TVs that have greatly less thickness and weight by utilizing an LED (Light emitting diode) as a back light unit (BLU) for the LCD TV's. The two companies are planning to develop super-slim LCD TVs. Their goal is to reduce the BLU thickness to the level of 12 mm. And they have expectations that it will be possible to decrease the thickness of LCD TVs, which is currently around 8 cm, to half. Samsung Electronics plans to utilize LED's as BLU's for 21", 26", and 32" LCD TV's and monitors. For 32" LCD TV, the company plans to materialize 13,000 nit brightness by using 100 each of red, green, and blue LEDs stuck on both sides of the BLU. This technology will heighten economic efficiency by lowering the energy use by 150 w, which is two thirds of the present consumption, and the price by 50% of the CCFL-type LCD TV. In addition, the lifespan can be lengthened by very much as other LEDs project onto the LCD display when one LED malfunctions. It has become known that Cheil Industries acquired filmmaker X to develop a special light guiding plate that puts less LEDs into the side-emitting type and brings about more brightness. The special light guiding plate of Cheil Industries will be manufactured in the first quarter of next year. "We will develop a first optical material in the world to behoove the highest-technology products of Samsung Electronics," said an executive at Cheil Industries.
