prize for its high contrast ratio and superb image quality. The Nano Full LED BLU obtains consistent lighting on its screen by converting<br />
the light from 1,440 light sources, in case of the 47-inch model, into over 10 million lights through a nano-silk screen. Also, the<br />
frame width was reduced to 12.5mm by placing LED over the entire surface. Such technologies are known to offer more realistic and<br />
lively images for the viewers.<br />

Technology Gold Prize winner : Hyundai Motor<br />
'front-wheel 6-speed automatic transmission'<br />
With growing concern for environmental issues including climate<br />
change, Hyundai Motor's small and light 6-speed auto gearbox, an<br />
essential part for the development of environmentally-friendly automobiles<br />
won the gold prize. The 6-speed automatic transmission has<br />
62 less components - hence, 12kg lighter and 41mm smaller - than<br />
the existing 5-speed transmission, with a special layout for this product<br />
developed by the company. Moreover, there is no need to<br />
change the automatic transmission fluid, and also no oil level gauge<br />
means less maintenance cost and higher fuel efficiency.<br />
Technology Gold Prize winner : K<strong>IT</strong>ECH 'eco-friendly new alloy'<br />
The Eco Mg and Eco Al developed by <strong>Korea</strong> Institute of Industrial Technology (K<strong>IT</strong>ECH) succeeded in blocking greenhouse gases.<br />
Particularly, abandoning the use of SF6 in its manufacturing process and has allowed magnesium to be used as an eco-friendly material,<br />
since SF6 used to be regarded as one of the biggest problems of magnesium despite its outstanding mechanical property. Eco Mg<br />
and Eco Al can contribute to reducing the weight of automobiles, aircrafts, electronic devices, and even products used for leisure<br />
sports.<br />
Technology Silver Prize : The silver prize winners are as follows:<br />
Samsung Electronics '30 Nano Class 2Gb DDR3 DRAM': reduces energy consumption by 65 percent, in comparison<br />
to previous models, and provides optimum speed of 2.1Gbps.<br />
Samsung Engineering's Ecopro PFC reduction technology : contributes to tackling climate change by efficiently<br />
eliminating PFC, which has the highest global warming potential among six greenhouse gases announced by the UN and SF6.<br />
SK Chemical's environmentally-friendly High Performance PETG Resins : uses vegetable-based materials.<br />
Park Systems'XE-3DM (3-Dimensional AFM) : is an industrial automobile device used for accurately analyzing properties<br />
