The Future of the Display Industry At the Las Vegas Convention Center in the U.S., Samsung Display President Yi Chung shared his vision for the future of the display industry. He emphasized that as robots and devices become more prevalent, the demand for displays will significantly increase. “We dream of capturing this entire market,” he said.

These included smart keys, pendants, remote controls, automotive products, and smart glasses. By presenting these innovations, the company projected that the future display market could grow tenfold compared to current levels. President Yi noted that visitors who initially approached the booth with skepticism often le...

The Impact of Rising Memory Prices on Samsung's Business In the current era of artificial intelligence (AI), Samsung Electronics' DS (Semiconductor) Division is anticipated to experience a significant boost in performance. This comes as a result of memory supply shortages and rising prices, which are favorable for the company. However, this positive development contrasts with the challenges faced by Samsung's smartphone division (MX). The division is expected to encounter growing concerns due to the increased cost of memory chips, which leads to higher product prices. According to market research firm IDC, the average selling price of smartphones next year is projected to reach a record high due to the rising costs of memory chips. Consequently, global smartphone shipments are expected to decline by 0.9% in the following year. IDC highlighted that Android devices in the mid-to-low price range, which are more sensitive to price changes, will be the most affected. Given th...
