[Asia Economy Reporter Changhwan Lee] Samsung Electronics announced on the 15th that it has signed a business agreement with the Korea Blind Union to improve TV accessibility features.

This agreement was made to commemorate World White Cane Day (October 15). World White Cane Day was established in 1980 by the World Blind Union to protect the rights of visually impaired people and to raise social awareness.

Samsung Electronics was selected as the supplier for the Korea Communications Commission's '2020 TV Distribution Project for the Hearing and Visually Impaired' and has strengthened TV accessibility features, including being the first to receive the 'Visual Impairment Accessibility Certification (RNIB Tried and Tested Accreditation)' from the Royal National Institute of Blind People in the UK.

Through this business agreement, both parties plan to cooperate in developing and improving the usability of Samsung TV's accessibility features and listen to the diverse opinions of visually impaired individuals.
