ACLO ACL Semiconductors Inc. engages in the distri

ACLO ACL Semiconductors Inc. engages in the distribution of electronic components under the ‘Samsung’ brand name in the Hong Kong and southern region of the People’s Republic of China. The company has variable interest in Aristo Technologies Limited (Aristo), which engages in marketing, selling, and servicing computer products and accessories, including semiconductors, LCD products, mass storage devices, consumer electronics, computer peripherals, and electronic components for various generations of computer related products. In addition to Samsung-branded products, Aristo sells Hynix, Micron, Elpida, Qimonda, Lexar, Dane-Elec, Elixir, SanDisk, and Winbond branded products. Aristo would also provide value-added services to its products and resell it to its customers. Products The company’s products comprise dynamic random access memory (DRAM), double data rate random access memory (DDR RAM), graphic random access memory (Graphic RAM), and NAND flash. Synchronous dynamic random access memory (SDRAMs), or mobile SDRAM, are the used semiconductor memory component in computer peripherals, such as hard disk drives, digital still camera (DSC), modems, ADSL applications, DVD player, set-top box, digital TV, high definition TV, and portable multimedia players. DDRs (DDR1, DDR2, and DDR3) are random access memory components that transfer data on both 0-1 and 1-0 clock transitions, theoretically yielding twice the data transfer rate of normal RAM or SDRAM. Flash memory is a memory component used to store user data and program code, it retains this information even when the power is off. Flash memory is used in mobile phones and tablets, it is used in multi-media digital storage applications for products, such as MP3 players, DSC, digital voice recorders, USB disks, and flash cards. In addition, mobile handsets, primarily smartphones and tablets are expected by the company to create impressive NAND Flash. Flash cards, such as micro SD cards, SD cards, and CF cards are used for digital cameras, mobile phones, portable game consoles, and MP3 players. Graphic RAM is a special purpose DDR (GDDR1, GDDR2, GDDR3, and GDDR4) as graphic products require high-speed 3-dimensional calculation performance, and memory size as data storage buffer for DVD and computer game display. The GDDR4 is the fastest graphic memory in volume production. LCD panels are a major component in various consumer electronics, such as LCD TVs, tablets, smartphones, notebooks, digital phone frames, and portable game consoles. Customers As of December 31, 2010, the company had approximately 150 customers, such as memory product traders and PC/servers OEM manufacturers. Competition The company competes with Toshiba, Hynix, Nanya, PSC, Promos, ISSI, and ESMT. History ACL Semiconductors Inc. was founded in 1984.
