Yoon will deliver his CES keynote address on opening day of the 2011 International CES at 4:30 p.m. Thursday, January 6 in the Las Vegas Hilton Center.

As President of Samsung’s Visual Display Business and Chief Design Officer, Boo-Keun Yoon oversees all activities surrounding a broad portfolio of devices, including TVs, monitors, Blu-ray players and other connected consumer digital products. Under his leadership, Samsung has maintained its No.1 status in terms of global market share for TVs, monitors and Blu-ray players. In addition, he has successfully led several efforts to commercialize market-leading innovations such as Samsung’s LED TV in 2009 and, most recently, the company’s total 3D entertainment solution – a full product suite consisting of TVs, Blu-ray home theater systems and glasses that make it possible for consumers to enjoy 3D content in the comfort of their homes. Announcing the world’s first TV apps at the 2010 CES, Boo-Keun Yoon started another innovation in Smart TV and continues to open a new era of TV by transforming viewing experiences of consumers.

Boo-Keun Yoon joins Microsoft’s Steve Ballmer and Verizon’s Ivan Seidenberg as 2011 CES keynote speakers. Additional keynotes for the 2011 CES will be announced in the coming months.
