Samsung Electronics has been selected as the supplier for the 'Free provision project of TVs for visually and hearing-impaired people' for six consecutive years, it announced on the 14th.
This project is an initiative by the Korea Communications Commission to provide customized TVs to visually and hearing-impaired individuals to bridge the information gap.
Starting at the end of this month, Samsung Electronics will sequentially supply 35,000 units of 43-inch Full HD smart TVs, an increase of 3,000 units from last year.
Samsung Electronics has been enhancing customized features to improve information accessibility for visually and hearing-impaired individuals. The products being distributed this year are equipped with various specialized features.
Color-blind and visually impaired viewers can watch broadcasts more clearly through the 'black and white' feature in the 'accessibility shortcut' menu.
The TVs also feature 'SeeColors Mode,' which allows free adjustment of the colors red, green, and blue, and 'AI sign language position auto search,' enabling comfortable viewing of sign language and subtitles simultaneously.
Ochio, Vice President of Samsung Electronics Korea, said, "Samsung Electronics considers it a responsibility to create an environment where everyone can enjoy content through TVs without limitations," and added, "We will continue to enhance accessibility technology so that more people can communicate with the world through Samsung TVs."
