players and digital still cameras to introduce a flash-based solid state
disk and the hybrid hard drive. We also brought our market leading
DRAM technologies—XDR and GDDR3 used for advanced graphic
data processing-into games. This puts life-like, high-definition, three
—dimensional video images on popular game consoles.
System LSI Our System LSI business performed remarkably well
last year, with a steady rise in display driver IC (DDI) and CMOS
image sensor (CIS) sales; the development of the world’s first 7.2
Megapixel CIS for camera phones and digital still cameras; and the
successful operation of our first 300mm fabrication line for nano-
scale production. The System LSI business will increase its focus
on premium products, especially DDIs, CISs, mobile application
processors, chip card ICs, and media player ICs.
Storage Samsung Electronics has been stepping up its hard
disk drive business continuously in both volume and technology;
achieving 10% market share in ’05 and introducing leading
technologies for the mobile environment.
Samsung Electronics is strengthening its long term com-
petitiveness in this area by focusing on nanotechnology as a core
technology for the future and a key differentiator in the marketplace.
We are also introducing MCP, SiP, SOC, New Memory, and Micro
HDD technologies. Creating differentiated, high value products is
our strategy for greater profitability.
As a global industry leader, we are concentrating our resources
on producing industry first technologies and building up our core
competencies in marketing, production, and our business portfolio.
And we continue to improve our cost competitiveness through
aggressive investment in facilities and in the research and
development of innovative technologies and products. There is
limitless potential for growth in mobile and digital applications.
Samsung’s first-in-the-world technologies and strategic market
launches are the source of our profitability and competitiveness,
stemming from our mission to “Create the Future.”
