Driving Innovation
Today's ever-smaller, feature-rich electronic devices are defined by the technology inside - and Samsung supplies a greater breadth of that technology than any other company in the world. Samsung designs and manufactures flash, DRAM, graphics memory and other memory components while also producing logic components such as ASICs, mobile processors, microcontrollers and other devices for a broad range of consumer products.
In recent years, Samsung has pioneered new "fusion" semiconductors that combine different technologies in a single chip and are designed to accelerate the technological evolution of mobile consumer electronics. The company is also a pioneer in TFT-LCD displays and storage products.
Samsung's Core Components
Memory is a key enabling technology in virtually every digital system today, from the massive DRAM main memory of a server system to NAND flash chips contained in USB drives, MP3 players and other portable products. Samsung maintains its strong leadership in all key memory markets by ongoing technology innovation and advanced manufacturing.
Logic & ASIC technology from Samsung combines the world's fastest mobile processors, multimedia co-processors, mobile display drivers, and CMOS image sensors with advanced wireless ASIC IP in space-saving System-on-Chip packages. Samsung also fabricates logic products for fabless semiconductor companies at its dedicated foundry in Korea and is part of the Common Platform(tm) technology alliance, a unique collaboration between IBM, Chartered Semiconductor Manufacturing and Samsung.
LCD Displays enable crisp, bright, color viewing of games, text messaging, photos, and live video on screens that fit in the palm of your hand - or cover one of your walls, in the case of large HDTVs. Samsung makes continual LCD breakthroughs, such as the first double-sided mobile panels, super-slim panels and displays that can be easily read in bright sunlight.
Storage Solutions from Samsung include optical and hard disk drives, as well as a wide range of flash memory-based products like the Solid State Drive, Hybrid Hard Drive and embedded or removable storage. Portable electronic products like cellphones, digital cameras, camcorders, portable music and media players depend on flash storage while the technology is also making its way into areas like GPS.
