ST's participation in the
computer segment is strongly focused on devices for computer peripherals, which
are expected to enjoy average compounded growth of 10% over the next five
years. In 2001, ST bolstered its established leadership positions in the
traditional peripheral product categories of data storage, printers and
displays. We also showed great strength in applications increasingly viewed as
mainstream peripherals Ñweb cameras, optical mice and DVD drives. In the
key field of printers, ST won further design-ins for both inkjet and laser
printer engines and also ramped up production of 0.18 micron printer engines. A
new generation of display engine ICs was also introduced, aimed at the rapidly
growing markets based on flat panel displays.
