As a digital multimedia leader, LG Electronics creates synergy among the audio/video, home theatre, digital storage, and personal computer divisions by developing and producing digital convergence products.
LG Electronics' Digital Media Company integrates various digital devices, employing its time-tested expertise in digital audio-video and information technology. For 2007, we're making major headway in creating a world of ubiquitous media enjoyment, with a strong focus on broadcasting, content, infrastructure, and media convergence products that can become part of a ubiquitous system.
LG will also secure profitability by launching distinctive high-definition technology products. Supporting our reputation as the world's best optical storage supplier, we have developed the world's first dual format high-definition disc player. We're expanding our built-in and portable navigation device businesses, along with telematics and car AV in the automotive division. We will continue to create superior customer value with new digital multimedia concepts in unchallenged market areas.
The LG Super Blue Player (BH100), which was unveiled at the Las Vegas Consumer Electronics Show back in January 2007, is the world's first dual-format HD player. It is capable of multiple formats including Blu-ray discs, the next generation digital storage technology, and HD-DVD.
The LG Electronics Home Theatre System supports HD video output and uses a wireless speaker system to simplify the complicated cable connections. It has received a positive response from the world market with its vibrant images and rich 3D surround sound.
We have been the best selling brand in the optical storage industry since 1998. With a global market share of 30%, we're the world's largest manufacturer and OEM supplier. This year, we continue to lead the industry with the most advanced technology: Super Multi Blue, the Blu-ray disc rewriter & HD DVD-ROM drive. In addition to offering cutting-edge technology to our customers, we are adding a "design focused" external DVD RW to our Super Multi series: the new slim, portable, external Super Multi DVD rewriter. Compared to previous portable drives, which were rather bulky, our new slim, portable, external Super Multi is "Stylish & Slim." We have also launched the new Super Multi Security system, featuring SecurDisc"technology. Developed together with Nero®, Super Multi Security meets the need for highly secure data protection and content access control. When writing data in CD and DVD formats, users will experience a new level of data security.
This year, LG is launching notebook PCs that employ the latest wireless network technologies __HSDPA (High Speed Downlink Packet Access) and WiBro (Wireless Broadband Internet) __to provide our global customers with complete mobility. LG's exclusive cutting-edge technologies, such as CNT (Carbon Nano Tube) thermal technology and triple hexa-band antennas, provide optimized wireless connectivity. This year, we have the R500 15.4" widescreen notebook, which features the latest Intel® Cenrtino® Duo mobile technology, the Santa Rosa platform, and our innovative, high-gloss wave pattern. For the future, we're focusing on responding to the needs of the market in order to ensure that LG notebooks continue to lead the way and set new trends.
