The LG DTB Library was developed through the cooperation of the four other companies in the LG Group-- LG Electronics, LG U+, LG CNS, and LG Innotek. These companies, which possessed ubiquitous technologies, eagerly participated to share their technologies and resources for the purpose of providing a social contribution towards reducing information gaps. In particular, LG Electronics developed a specialized new phone for the visually impaired, which is recorded as the world's first phone for the visually impaired.
