— Samsung has announced the development of a full‐high‐definition (1920 × 1080) 82‐in. TFT‐LCD panel using Super‐PVA (S‐PVA) technology, the world's largest TFT‐LCD. In addition to the size breakthrough, this product achieves 600 nits of brightness, a contrast ratio of over 1200:1, an angle of view of 180°, a color gamut of 92%, and an 8‐msec response time. Several key enabling technologies were developed to achieve these specifications, including two‐transistor direct‐driven independently controlled S‐PVA subpixels, non‐even‐area‐ratio subpixels for optimal off‐axis gamma, gate overlap driving for larger driving margin, new CCFL technology for higher color gamut, and advanced fabrication techniques including the use of Samsung's new Gen 7 line. Many of these technologies will be applied to other products within Samsung's LCD‐TV product line. Samsung's broader development efforts toward the overall LCD‐TV market, including production status of the Gen 7 facility, will be updated.
