Global shipments of LCD TVs may rise 24 percent to more than 180 million units in 2010, Austin, Texas-based DisplaySearch said in March. Samsung, the world’s largest TV maker, said in January it expects to sell 35 million LCD sets this year.

Samsung, also the world’s second-largest maker of mobile phones, said profit from the telecommunications division fell 36 percent to 630 billion won as the company lagged behind Apple and BlackBerry-maker Research In Motion Ltd. in the smartphone market. Second-quarter handset shipments climbed 22 percent to 63.8 million year on year, Samsung said.

Worldwide sales of smartphones will increase 36 percent to 247 million in 2010 and expand 30 percent next year, El Segundo, California-based research company Isuppli said in April.

Samsung aims to more than double its share of the smartphone market, helped by the introduction of the Galaxy S model, Lee Donjoo, senior vice president of the company’s Mobile Communications Division, said on June 21.
