The perfect size in
your bedroom or
living room, this
award winning
flat-panel television
features a startling
progressive scan
picture, virtual Dolby
sound, and a wide
viewing format.
DVD-L100
Samsung Electronics’ portable
DVD player leads the pack with
its ultra-thin size (under one
inch), brilliant 10-inch 800x480
SVGA display—the world’s
largest portable DVD
screen—and built-in Memory
Stick capability to play your
music, movies, and photos
wherever you go.
From the flattest, most fashionable analog televi-
sions to the sleekest plasma, DLP, LCD televi-
sions and monitors available today, Samsung
Electronics continues to be the world’s number-
one choice for display devices. In 2002, we
shipped more than 13 million TV sets, winning
10.2% of the global market.
In 2002, we maintained our grip on the top mar-
ket share in PC monitors by shipping 23 million
units for 22.3% of the global market. Our 2003
product line-up will continue our dominance with
larger-than-ever PDP-TVs, innovative 46- and 54-
inch LCD-TVs, new ultra-slim monitors, and much
more.
Indeed, we’re determined to stay ahead of the
market with first-class R&D. This year we intro-
duced the world’s first DMDTMHDⅡchip embed-
ded DLP Projection TVs of 43/50/61 inches,
and many other significant improvements to our
current and forthcoming products. And the world
is noticing. Strong market-driven product devel-
opment combined with consumers’ growing inter-
est in flat-panel and digital televisions resulted in
more than twice as much press coverage for our
products as we’ve ever received.
The New York
Times
declared that when it comes to TFT-LCD
televisions “Samsung is the only way to go.”
Popular Science
gave us its “Grand Prize” award
in its annual Top 100 Tech Innovations for our
new DLP televisions. And
Fortune
said our TFT-
LCD monitors were the “Best of 2002.” We were
even awarded the “Grand Prize for Multimedia
Technology” from the President of Korea for our
40-inch LCD-TV.
Of course, display devices aren’t the only compo-
nents of our convergence strategies. The future
of convergence relies on myriad digital elements,
from personal computers and peripherals (includ-
ing printers) to digital video devices. This year, we
solidified our position as the world’s number-one
VCR manufacturer with a 25% market share, and
number-two manufacturer of DVD players, with
15% of the global market. Our accomplishments
