Samsung obtained an international patent related
to DTV core technology.
Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. announced on 27th
that Samsung was confirmed as the core patentee
of two cases related to Samsung's own technologies
at 'TV Anytime Forum', which leads the international
standards with regard to the core technology of
the individually geared digital broadcasting.
The technology suggested by Samsung Electronics
Co., Ltd. effectively searches program information
on the broadcasting network, encrypts said information,
and transmits it. This standards has received
ETSI's approval which is the approval of the European
Telecommunication Standards Institute last year
and subsequently ensued by adoption as standards
of digital TV for American's ATSC (Advanced Television
Systems Committee) method and for European's DVB
(Digital Video Broadcasting) method. Thus, it
is made certain that Samsung's pertinent technologies
with regard to the digital broadcasting will be
used as standards.
Accordingly, Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. is
able to exercise right to vote with regard to
making decision on royalty, sharing information,
etc. which will be proceeded in future, and it
is expected that Samsung will have high profit
from royalty and large influence with regard to
the worldwide digital broadcast such as ground
wave, satellite, cable, etc.
TV Anytime Forum is an organization established
in 1999 for determining international standards
with regard to technology for providing individually
geared broadcasting programs by using large capacity
digital storage medium at the digital broadcasting
environment, which is participated by about 40
international companies such as BBC, Matsushita,
Microsoft, Nokia, Samsung Electronics, KETI (Korean
Electronics Technology Institute), ETRI (Electronics
and Telecommunications Research Institute), LG
Electronics, Daewoo Electronics, etc.

TOMATOLSI has developed the world's first single
chip method.
TOMATOLSI which is a company developing LCD drive
IC announced on 16th that the company has developed
a TFT LCD drive IC for a mobile phone with a level
of QVGA (240X320) realized with a single chip
for the first time in the world.
LDI developed by TOMATOLSI is designed to support
resolution at a level of QVGA and at a level of
CIF (288X352) which is the highest resolution,
and can be used in LCD for a 260,00 color high
quality screen mobile phone. The company explained
that its LDI supports the highest resolution among
LDIs developed until now. This product is expected
to be mass-produced in the third quarter by a
process of 0.18¥ìm and by a high voltage process
of 30V.
"Generally, two to three chips are used
in order to realize resolution at a level of QVGA
level, whereas the new product of TOMATOLSI is
made to realize high resolution on the main screen
(288RGBX352) and simultaneously on the supplementary
LCD window (288RGBX160) with a single chip,"
says Mr. Sun-Ho Choi, CEO of TOMATOLSI.
Also, Mr. Choi explained that, "as the new
product can realize resolution at a level of CIF,
it can be used at various applications such as
small or mid-sized types, i.e. portable PC, PDA,
etc. And as it is realized with a single chip,
it is helpful in cost saving and making mobile
phones lighter."

NanoKarbon, developed carbon nanotubes with improved
dispersibility.
On May 4, 2004, NanoKarbon, a venture company
residing at the Technical Business Incubator of
Sungkyunkwan University stated that it developed
a carbon nanotube settling the dispersibility
problem and that it started manufacturing it and
selling it at the market.
Dispersibility indicates how much a carbon nanotube
is evenly dissolved without making any clods when
being diluted in a solution in order to manufacture
applied products such as electromagnetic wave
masks, etc.
The carbon nanotube (product name: Hollow CNT
100) developed by NanoKarbon improved the low
dispersibility which has been pointed out as a
disadvantage of the existing carbon nanotube,
and has a volume 50 times larger than that of
the existing carbon nanotube. The tube wall of
this carbon nanotube is a double layered structure,
and the outer wall is constituted in a amorphous
form. Accordingly, it can easily make a chemical
bond with other components, and thus the dispersibility
has improved compared with the existing carbon
nanotube and the inner vacant space has been extended
by more than 5 times of that of the existing multiple-wall
carbon nanotube.
The director of Sungkyunkwan University's NanoKarbon
and Center for Nanotubes and Nanostructured Composites
(CNNC) said, "reinforcing the low density
property, a characteristic property of carbon
nanotube simultaneously with settling the dispersibility
problem, it is expected to accelerate applied
research and development, and the common use of
the field of electronic material such as fuel
cell, secondary cell, electromagnetic wave mask
and static electricity preventer, etc."
Carbon nanotube is receiving evaluations that
it has high applicability by having high solidity,
heat conductivity, electric conductivity as a
nano new material produced by arranging carbon
atoms in the form of a slender bamboo tube of
nano size.
