SAMSUNG Develops World’s Largest (82”) Full HDTV TFT-LCD

- The world’s largest 82-inch TFT-LCD developed at Samsung’s 7G line.
- Viewing angle of 180° achieved by applying Samsung’s proprietary S-PVA technology.
- 12.44 million thin-film transistors used to achieve full HD image quality of 6.22 million pixels.
- Samsung to unveil the 82-inch TFT-LCD at CeBIT 2005 in Hannover, Germany.





SEOUL, Korea – March 7, 2005 – Samsung Electronics, the leading provider of TFT-LCD display panels, announced that it has developed the world's largest 82-inch TFT-LCD. This full HD image quality TFT-LCD panel was developed at the company's new production complex in Tangjeong, Korea. The soon-to-be operational 7 th -generation production facility uses glass substrates that measure 1.87m x 2.20m.

Samsung has made a series of breakthroughs in TFT-LCD technology ahead of the competition over the years. The company developed the first 40-inch model in August 2001, the first 46-inch panel in October 2002, the first 57-inch model in December 2003 and now the first 82-inch panel.

At its 7 th -generation Line 7-1, Samsung can produce two 82-inch panels from a single substrate. Previously, technological limitations prevented the development of LCDs of this size and competitive technologies, such as PDP and DLP technologies, were used to produce such large-sized panels.

Samsung's latest large-screen TFT-LCD offers a variety of features. The company applied its patented Super Patterned-ITO Vertical Alignment (S-PVA) technology to achieve extra-wide viewing angles. In addition, the product boasts a low-dispersion color filter and ultra high aperture ratio, achieving a contrast ratio of at least 1200:1 and brightness of 600nit (cd/m 2 ). Response times are at 8ms or faster, providing clear moving picture images. A high-color-saturation backlight raises color saturation to 92% to produce a premium image quality.

Sang Soo Kim, Senior Vice President and Head of the LCD Development Center, states, “Our 82-inch LCD panel proves Samsung Electronics' technological leadership. It uses our proprietary S-PVA technology, eliminating distortion from all angles and offers a 180-degree viewing angle. With this panel, we have achieved the world's best performance in terms of contrast ratio, viewing angle and color saturation.”

Samsung is set to begin operations at the world's first 7 th -generation TFT-LCD production line at Tangjeong, Korea. This facility can be used to produce the company's full line-up of LCD modules for TV: from 23-inch (24 per substrate), 26-inch (18 per substrate) and 32-inch (12 per substrate) to 40-inch (8 per substrate) and 46-inch (6 per substrate).

Samsung Electronics is at least one year ahead of the competition in terms of using 7 th -generation production technology to make modules of 40 inches, 46 inches and 57 inches. It is therefore in a position to take an early lead in the fast-growing market for large-screen, wall-hanging TVs.

The development of the 82-inch TFT-LCD marks the smooth launch of Samsung's and Sony's joint venture in S-LCD. The 7 th -generation line will begin mass production at the end of March.

Samsung Electronics will unveil its 82-inch TFT-LCD at CeBIT 2005, which opens in Hannover, Germany on March 10.

What HD aspect is 6 million pixels?

Even 1080p is only like 4 million or something, I thought.

 
now we're getting somewhere. :cool: :cool: :cool:

First the 102" then this nice Samsung 82".

I think they are counting the red, green and blue subpixels in that number, so

1920x1080 = 2,073,600 pixels * 3 subpixels = 6,220,800 subpixels

How many GeForce 6800 Ultras would it take to crank out Doom 3 on that beast? :p

Just one. The new 2405fpw has higher resolution (more pixels) than that display.
