Tri-Vision licenses U.S. V-chip to LG Electronics
"To have the support of one of the world's largest and fast growing electronics giants is another strong indicator that Tri-Vision is well on the road to accomplishing its goal of licensing all digital receivers sold in the USA," stated Tri-Vision C.E.O. Najmul Siddiqui. "The addition of LG to our US licensee family raises to approximately one third the percentage of digital televisions to be sold in the USA under our license. With our continuing licensing efforts we expect that eventually 100% of digital receivers in the United States will be sold under our V-chip License," Siddiqui added.
Companies which have acquired V-chip licenses for Tri-Vision's U.S. '402 Patent include: LG Electronics, Hitachi, Sharp, Pioneer, Funai, Orion, Korat Denki, World Electric, Eastech, Erae Electronics, Seiko Epson, Shenzhen KXD, Optoma, Coretronic, Akai, Chunghwa, NEC, Humax, Viewsonic, Shinco and many others.
As part of the transition to a digital television broadcast system in the United States, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has mandated new rules to ensure that the V-chip can respond to any rating system changes in all digital television receiver products. Tri-Vision's open V-chip (also known as V-chip 2.0) is the only known patented technology capable of accepting modified or new rating systems. The FCC ruling took effect on March 15, 2006.
