What:

A sampling of the latest LG.Philips LCD products and technology to be
showcased at LCD/PDP International includes:

42W Wide XGA LCD for HDTVs
Delivering superior resolution in the largest announced TFT-LCD products
in the world today, and the widest viewing angle on the market today, in a
modern "wide" aspect ratio shape, LG.Philips LCD's first-to-market 42W
leverages the company's proprietary Super-In-Plane-Switching (S-IPS)
technology, resulting in an impressively wide viewing angle of more than
175 degrees, unparalleled brightness of 500 cd/㎡, and a fast response time of
12 ms, which is needed to deliver the bright, crisp images and fine detail
essential for supporting digital broadcasting. In addition to its large
screen size and slim form factor (50.9 mm in thickness), this new display also
offers a high contrast ratio (500:1), ensuring a clear, crisp picture with low
weight and low power consumption.

30W Wide XGA LCD for HDTVs and Large Information Displays
Developed for today's HDTV market, the 30W boasts a wide viewing angle of
176 degrees, brightness of 450 cd/㎡ and resolution of 1280 x 768. In
addition to its large screen size and slim form factor (50.9 mm), this display
also offers a high contrast ratio (400:1) and aspect ratio of 16:9.6.

23W Wide XGA LCD for Monitors and HDTVs
The 23W has a WXGA resolution of 1280 x 768 and a wide viewing angle of
more than 175 degrees in all directions-reducing gray scale inversions and
ensuring color integrity, regardless of the viewer's position. The 23W's slim
design (only 34.5 mm thick) requires less workspace, while the display itself
consumes less power, emits lower electromagnetic radiation and lessens
end-user eyestrain, compared to a CRT-based solution of similar resolution and
size.

17W Wide XGA LCD for Notebook PCs
LG.Philips LCD's new 17W display can be used for new wide-format notebook
PC applications. This wide-format display offers 1440 x 900 resolution,
160cd/㎡ brightness and a response time of 35 ms, allowing viewers to enjoy
high-quality moving pictures on the screen. Furthermore, it is extremely thin
(6.4 mm) and weighs only 740 grams.

LC201V02 20.1-inch VGA LCD for LCD TVs
The LC201V02 boasts LG.Philips LCD's side-mounting technology (shifting
screws from the front to the side), making possible the competitively slimmer
and compact design that is less than 25 mm thick. The LCD also features a
brightness of 450 cd/㎡, a contrast ratio of 400:1 and a fast response time of
25 ms. The LC201V02 also has a viewing angle of more than 170 degrees in all
directions.

15-inch QUXGA LCD Copper Bus Prototype
Utilizing the company's unique copper-based interconnect technology,
LG.Philips LCD will be able to cost effectively manufacture light weight
displays that afford higher brightness and reduced jitter -- significant
benefits aimed at OEM customers and, ultimately, today's consumer. LG.Philips
LCD's 15-inch copper prototype has demonstrated the ability to transmit
signals more than 2.5 times faster than traditional aluminum alloy. In
addition, it allows for thinner interconnect lines, resulting in increased
conductibility -- stabilizing the signal, enabling a higher aperture ratio of
40 percent and increasing overall display brightness to 300 cd/㎡.<
