4 MOBILE WORLD_ LCD MOBILE FLASH STORAGE OLED CURVED (FLEX) DISPLAY CURVED (FLEX) DISPLAY_ Our 5.68 FHD display is the first massproduced flexible display. It features a 400R curvature, 1.88:1 aspect ratio, and the latest AMOLED technology for smartphones, while reducing outdoor reflection and glare. APPLICATION PROCESSORS MOBILE DRAM OLED_ AMOLED panels enhance readability and enrich imagery. Smart AMOLED panels reproduce 16.7 million colors with an infinite contrast ratio for use indoors or outdoors, and they re thinner than a credit card. SSDS_ With capacity up to 1.6TB1TB, exceptional reliability and lightningfast speeds (up to a 4GB/s sequential read), Samsung SSDs are well-suited for notebooks, using SATA, PCIe or NVMe interface. MOBILE DRAM_ We offer the largest Mobile DRAM portfolio, featuring 8Gb, 3200mbps LPDDR4 and 6Gb LPDDR3. Consumers enjoy longer battery run-time, slimmer device designs and higher definition on larger screens. 4 TECHNOLOGY DRIVING INNOVATION

5 SSDs LED FOUNDRY IMAGE SENSORS IMAGE SENSORS_ ISOCELL technology increases light sensitivity and controls the absorption of electrons, resulting in higher color fidelity even in poor lighting conditions. FOUNDRY_ Through an agreement with STMicro, Samsung offers FD-SOI technology at 28nm, delivering faster, cooler, and simpler semiconductor devices for higher-performance, lower-power systems-on-chips for next-generation electronic products. APPLICATION PROCESSORS_ Samsung s newest Exynos 5 Octa is equipped with four ARM Cortex - A15 processors and four ARM Cortex- A7 processors, delivering up to 34 percent higher performance. MOBILE FLASH STORAGE/ MEMORY_ Available up to 64GB, our emmc 5.0 reads and writes data at over 10X the speed of a class-10 memory card. It enables ultra-fast large-file gaming, application loading, web browsing, video capture and HD/UHD playback. LED LIGHTING_ LED packages, including FC, FCOM, COB and LAM solutions provide long-lasting, energyefficient lighting with superb reliability, exceptionally compact designs and high-color rendering (above CRI 90).
