The main TVs
in many homes in 2-3 years will be 50-inch-class and full HD (
two million pixels) is a must for them.

Mr. Souk said the greatest effects of future TV development will
be felt in the area of full-HD content as well as with the media
and players capable of delivering such content. As the industry
continues to experience intense competition, Mr. Souk said that
industry leadership will require a commitment to advanced
devices that can reproduce their visual contents in full high
definition, or two million pixels.
Mr. Souk said, “Large screen TV functions keep improving and the
highly competitive marketplace will be focused on making larger
panels with higher resolution. The winning device in today’s
fierce competition will be the one that can best display full HD
content. The main TVs in many homes in 2-3 years will be
50-inch-class and full HD is a must for them.”
Mr. Souk also provided a progress report on the new
8th-generation LCD production line that Samsung is building. The
new 8th-generation line will be able to process 50,000 glass
substrates a month, or the equivalent of 3.6 million 52-inch
panels annually. Production startup is slated for October of
2007.
