mono laser multi-functional product segments, Samsung will expand
our footprint in the printer industry with the development of high-
speed and color laser products. We introduced the first application
of DMB (Digital Multimedia Broadcasting) for mobile television
reception, and based on our success in Korea, we will aggressively
take DMB to the global marketplace. We continued to expand our
laptop sales and increased our ratio of high value-added products,
including FPTVs, LCD monitors, DVDs, digital camcorders, laser
printers, notebook PCs, and MP3 players. Operationally, we moved
into our new Digital Research Center last October which will foster
synergy among related businesses. In particular, the center is equipped
with the necessary infrastructure to centralize the development
process prior to production from R&D to final testing in one place.
Stream of New Products In 2006, more emphasis will be placed
in growing the FPTV business in the Digital Media Business,
principally in large-size displays. We will continue to lead in the
development of the next generation of products for the recorded
media industry, which will include the world’s first commercial
launch of the Blu-ray player. We plan to capture the market for
mobile convergence products by releasing a continuous stream
of MP3 players, mobile TVs and camcorders that converge ever
more functions without making these multi-faceted devices more
difficult to use. While targeting the high-end in the LCD monitor,
notebook PC and laser printer markets by providing products with
unique design and functionality, we will continue to develop exciting
and new products like the UMPC (Ultra Mobile PC).
