As Samsung display and chip packaging business belongs to Samsung's device solutions division, so Samsung will LCD panel factory employees transferred to the chip packaging business unit.
        At the end of 2021, Samsung made changes to the company's top management and major business units, in which the consumer electronics and mobile business units were merged and renamed the Device Experience Division, led by Vice Chairman and CEO Jong-hee. The Device Solutions Division, which controls Samsung's display and wafer business, is headed by President and Co-Chief Executive Officer Kyung Gye Hyeon. The transfer of 300 Samsung Display LCD panel factory employees to the chip packaging business unit is not the first time Samsung has adjusted the employees of the two divisions, as similar adjustments were made in the first and second half of 2021.
        Samsung transferred Samsung Display employees to the chip packaging business unit, mainly in accordance with the plan to exit the LCD panel business.
