This excerpt taken from the LPL 20-F filed Jun 23, 2009. Televisions Our television panels range from 15 inches to 55-inch wide-format in size. We began mass production of television display panels in 2001. Our sales of display panels for televisions were (Won)4,938.9 billion, or 46.5% of sales, in 2006, (Won)6,841.5 billion, or 47.7% of sales, in 2007 and (Won)8,019.9 billion (US$6,354.9 million), or 49.3% of sales, in 2008. The market for large-size televisions developed later than that for notebook computers and desktop monitors, but we have experienced significant growth in recent years for our television panels and it has become our primary market as consumer demand grew for large-size televisions. We believe that we can leverage our experience in the notebook computer and desktop monitor markets to take advantage of the growth potential in the market for large-size televisions. We began mass production with 15-inch panels and have since broadened our product portfolio to include panels of various sizes such as 17-inch, 19-inch, 20-inch, 22-inch, 26-inch, 32-inch, 37-inch, 42-inch, 47-inch and 55-inch panels. Currently, 32-inch, 37-inch, 42-inch and 47-inch wide-format panels comprise our principal products in this category in terms of sales revenue and sales volume.

We employ S-IPS technology in certain television panels to significantly improve the picture quality and to increase the viewing angle. We also employ S-IPS technology in touch screens to provide more stable picture quality. We apply our scanning backlight technology and 120Hz driving technology to certain categories of large-size panels to remove motion blurring, while we use our copper bus technology to achieve better and more stable picture quality in large-size panels.
