LG Electronics Inc. said yesterday it has developed a new chip capable of receiving digital multimedia broadcasting or DMB mobile TV signals.

The new chip enables users to watch real-time TV programs for 4 straight hours, compared to the existing chips` three-hour-long duration, LG said.

It consumes 150 megawatts of power, 40 percent less than the company`s current chips` 250 megawatts. Users can have a clearer view of TV on the go, as the chip will enhance the mobile TV`s signal receiving rate in shadow areas - where broadcasting signals can hardly reach - by 30 percent, LG said.

The chip, if topped with DMB-capable mobile phones, will allow users to access to real-time traffic information as it supports transport protocol expert group or TPEG technology. Users can also enjoy two different channels simultaneously on a single mobile-phone screen as the chip supports binary format for scene of BIFS technology.

Samsung betting on mirrorless cameras

Samsung betting on mirrorless cameras

The ruling Grand National Party yesterday zeroed in on chief justice Lee Yong-hoon as it upped the ante in a dispute over controversial court rulings.
The conservative GNP called on the Supreme Court head to take responsibility for the controversy surrounding "slanted" rulings.

The party said it will officially demand he dissolve a private association of young, progressive-minded justices who are involved in the court decisions in question.

Lee struck back, telling reporters, "I will firmly safeguard the independence of judiciary."

Lee had kept silent in the face of one of the widest-reaching and fiercest political disputes to engulf the judicial institution. Lee was appointed by former President Roh Moo-hyun in September 2005 for a six-year term.

The GNP and conservatives blamed him for "leftist tendencies" among young justices and a series of "politically biased" rulings.
