LG Electronics said it succeeded in developing a new fifth
generation chip for digital TVs.
The semiconductor was independently developed by the company and
is an upgraded version of existing chips, company officials said
on Monday.
Two years, 60 researchers and 8 billion won were invested into
developing the new chip, and LG Electronics has currently filed
for 60 patents relating to the technologies involved in making the
chip.
LG first developed the first generation chip back in 1997.
