South Korea's Samsung says unveils world's slimmest TV (AFP)

Posted on Mon Jan 5, 2009 3:11AM EST

SEOUL (AFP) - South Korea's Samsung Electronics on Monday unveiled what it says is the world's slimmest LCD (liquid crystal display) TV.

The new product, measuring only 6.5 millimetres (0.26 inch) thick, is thinner than any other existing TV set, and even slimmer than most mobile handsets, Samsung said in a statement.
Its thickness is one seventh of Samsung's "Bordeaux 850" LCD TVs, which is currently the thinnest on the market, the company said.

The new product, which adopts an LED (light emitting diode) backlighting system, will be on display at the 2009 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas from January 8 to 11, Samsung added.

The Manufacturing System Engineering is designed for those who wish to enhance their knowledge in manufacturing technology and processes. In a recent study by the United States Academy of Engineering, the greatest engineering achievements in this century that have shaped and changed the world were electrification, automobile, airplane, water supply and distribution, electronics, radio and television, agricultural mechanization, computers, telephone, air conditioning and refrigeration, highways, spacecraft, internet, imaging, household appliances, health technologies, petroleum and petrochemical technologies, laser and fiber optics, nuclear technologies and high-performance materials.

These engineering innovations and inventions indicate the important role that mechanical engineers played in developing, operating and manufacturing new machines, devices and processes that have benefited mankind in this century.In a commercial world mechanical engineers must have not only technical skills, but also management skills necessary to get the job done while ensuring their company continues to function efficiently.

To do this they must have a deep understanding of scientific principles and engineering processes. At the undergraduate level, mechanical engineers learn the science and engineering principles of designing and building machines, structures, components, power-trains, pumps, compressors, turbines, engines, power plants, furnaces, refrigerators, air conditioners, manufacturing systems and processes and more.

As graduate students, this learning process is enhanced through advanced formal courses and laboratory research experience. They conduct in-depth research and benefit from the up-to-date knowledge and facilities. Graduate students also benefit from research grants from industry and government as they work with the faculty members of the department in the study of thermal sciences; mechanics; mechatronics and robotics; design and manufacturing; and materials processing.

They must make decisions based on fundamental knowledge, analytical skills, creativity, perspective, and ethics. They must also apply advanced technology and science by combining basic knowledge with the application of engineering and scientific principles.
