And even Japan’s Sharp Corp, which had to be bailed out by its banks last autumn and which Samsung has now taken on as a partner, has pulled into the lead in some of the latest LCD production and thin-screen technology.

Its success was fed in large part by the aggressive launch of new technologies such as Internet-enabled TV sets and LCD TVs backlit with power-saving light-emitting diodes.

But the delay in Samsung’s OLED models have forced it to seek its next big boost from ultra-definition television, which others have been pursuing with LCDs - where Samsung now lags.

Sharp has the world’s only so-called 10th-generation display factory, which uses bigger sheets of glass that, at 3 metres square, can be cut into eight 60-inch panels for large TV screens. That’s far more efficient than eighth-generation plants that analysts say yield only three 60-inch screens per sheet.

Samsung Display’s main LCD TV screen plants are seventh and eighth generation, suitable for 40 to 60 inch screens. It has held off on investing in larger panels given its strategic move into OLEDs, which are thin enough to bend or roll like paper, paving the way eventually for wearable computers and curved-screen TVs.

“I believe Samsung’s big push for OLED is the right decision, given all the benefits OLED has over LCD, but overpromise and underdelivery caused a bit of hiccup here,” said Lee Sun-tae, an analyst at NH Investment & Securities. He saw the Sharp deal as a way to help keep Samsung in the game until OLED is on board.

Monitors with QHD or 4K panel can offer better picture quality and sharp color visuals which can benefit for better color correction.

In simple terms, a live view LCD is the large LCD on the back of the digital SLR camera that lets you preview the photo you"re about to take. This provides you with a second way of composing your photos - the first would involve looking through the viewfinder. Thus, Live View is the alternative (electronic) viewfinder to using the (optical) viewfinder on a DSLR camera that you would normally use.

The camera features a vari-angle touch screen LCD monitor, which not only allows users to shoot self-portraits, but also makes low-angle and high-angle shooting easier, even when holding the camera in a vertical orientation.

It works in real-time, which means that you can check details, such as the degree of background blur (bokeh), brightness and color vividness on the rear LCD monitor before you press the shutter button.

Since 1997, US courts have divided price fixing into two categories: vertical and horizontal maximum price fixing.State Oil Co. v. Khan,US Supreme Court held that vertical price fixing is no longer considered a per se violation of the Sherman Act, but horizontal price fixing is still considered a breach of the Sherman Act. Also in 2008, the defendants of United States v LG Display Co., United States v. Chunghwa Picture Tubes, and United States v. Sharp Corporation, heard in the Northern District of California, agreed to pay a total sum of $585 million to settle their prosecutions for conspiring to fix prices of liquid crystal display panels. That was the second largest amount awarded under the Sherman Act in history.

In 2008 in the US, LG Display Co., Chunghwa Picture Tubes and Sharp Corp., agreed to plead guilty and pay $585 million in criminal finesliquid crystal display panels.

In 2010, the EU fined LG Display €215 million for its part in the LCD price fixing scheme.Chimei Innolux, AU Optronics, Chunghwa Picture Tubes Ltd., and HannStar Display Corp.

"These companies are misrepresenting what they do and they"re deluding the public," BAN Director Jim Puckett told me. "They"re telling people that they"re recycling waste in the US properly, that they"re diverting e-waste from landfills but what they"re doing is blatantly lying."

Late last week, BAN and MIT published the results of the project, in which investigators stuck small GPS tracking chips into 205 pieces of e-waste (152 total "donations" to electronics recyclers, some donations contained more than one machine), including old CRT televisions, printers, and LCD screens. They found that 40 percent of those 152 deliveries ended up in other countries, passing through a total of 168 different "identifiable recyclers."BAN is an nongovernmental organization that was created to make sure countries are adhering to the Basel Convention, a 1989 international treaty that prohibits the exportation of hazardous waste from developed countries to developing ones. The US signed the treaty but never ratified it.The study found that in many cases, electronics recyclers that said they were seeking a "zero landfill" goal were actually not doing any recycling at all and instead were simply selling e-waste to other companies or were exporting it directly to Hong Kong or China themselves."There are people in China who will pay you pennies on the pound, so it"s an economic decision," Puckett added. "It"s more profitable to export, so that"s what they"re doing."

A service called Peony Online serves as a scrap and e-waste price list and marketplace. Motherboard obtained a price sheet from June that showed dozens of middlemen in the United States who would be willing to buy e-waste in bulk. Prices range from between $.19 per pound for an old cable boxes to a quarter a pound for old computers, to $.16 a pound for landline telephones and $.03 a pound for printers. Large LCD TVs and monitors were selling for $7.50 each. Considering that an estimated 1.25 million tons of e-waste goes through electronics recyclers in the United States every year, those numbers can add up.

"These guys, they have a few guys operating forklifts and not much else," John Shegergian, CEO of Electronic Recyclers International, the largest e-waste recycler in the US, told me. "They"re not worried about OSHA, or EPA, or other groups because they just throw this stuff in shipping containers without overhead or labor. They have no investment [in recycling equipment], no labor, so it"s all profit to them."There are two types of electronics recycling certifications that the Environmental Protection Agency recognizes, both of which are actually administered by nongovernment organizations. The most common one is called R2; the other is called "e-Stewards" and was created by BAN. e-Stewards is an inherently stricter standard that requires companies to act as though the US had ratified the Basel Convention. The study found that companies with an R2 certification export raw e-waste at a higher rate than even those companies that have no certification at all. e-Stewards exported at a lower rate, but were still in some cases found to be involved in supply chains that exported e-waste to developing nations.

SERI, the group that administers R2, noted in a letter published by the group in July noted that a lot of raw e-waste can be exported legally and according to R2 standards if it is labeled for "re-use" in a foreign country: "Although they represent a small minority, too many recyclers are willing to illegally mislabel shipments of electronic junk as "reusable" in order to get the shipment through customs." BAN, however, noted that 96 percent of the exports found in its study were illegal either by US standards or in the country importing the waste. In an email, SERI executive director John Lingelbach told me the organization is looking into using GPS trackers in the future."SERI is continuously looking at ways to improve conformance to the standard and is currently evaluating the use of GPS trackers and other strategies," he said.In theory, companies need to at least notify the EPA if they are planning on exporting CRT televisions, but a 2008 Government Accountability Office report found that there are many "exporters willing to engage in apparent violations of the CRT rule, including some who are aware of the rule … EPA has done little to ascertain the extent of noncompliance."

Using the trackers, BAN found that the vast majority of e-waste that leaves the United States goes to junkyards in an area of Hong Kong known as "The New Territories." BAN describes the New Territories as a rural area filled with "furniture factories, scaffolding vendors, large metal fabrication, auto and bus body workshops, illegal gasoline vendors, a great deal of general import and export staging, and a very high percentage of electronics junkyards.""There is no such thing as free recycling. Responsible recycling costs money."According to BAN, workers at these junkyards are paid about 60 cents per LCD monitor that they break down, and the rest of it is just tossed into the scrapyard.

Puckett said that BAN specifically attached GPS trackers to low-value, highly toxic electronics because things like LCD monitors, printers, and CRT televisions are hardest things to recycle and are thus most likely to simply be shipped elsewhere.

"We knew the stuff we were tracking has low commodity value that"s seen as junk in the industry," he said. "This stuff is a real pain in the ass, and you have to be very careful about how you"re recycling them."Puckett"s e-Steward-certified companies fared better than R2-certified ones, but BAN caught several e-Stewards involved in an exportation supply chain."We caught some of our gang exporting and have dealt with them harshly," Puckett said, adding that a company called Total Reclaim was recently hit with a $500,000 fine from the state of Washington, partially because it was exposed in the BAN study. "We"re going to police this to death and we"re going to make sure any cheaters are thrown out and exposed."SERI"s Lingelbach said BAN did not have a large enough sample size to make larger generalizations about the recycling industry."SERI does not consider BAN"s naming of an R2 company in the report as proof dispositive that the company acted irresponsibly," Lingelbach said. "Rather, SERI is treating BAN"s naming of a R2-certified company the same way it treats other allegations against R2-certified companies … we will take action against those companies we find are not meeting the requirements of the R2 Standard, including its prohibition on illegal exports and its extensive requirements for downstream due diligence.The BAN study names e-waste "recyclers" engaged in the wholesale export of old machines—the full report is available here.Update: This article has been updated to include comment from SERI.Get six of our favorite Motherboard stories every day by signing up for our newsletter.
