If you own a consumer electronics gadget, there’s a good chance something from Samsung makes it tick. The company has traveled far from its roots as a seller of cheap appliances in the 1970s and 1980s when South Korean products were more likely to be panned than praised internationally. Over those decades it has grown to become the world’s biggest manufacturer of memory chips and LCDs — key components that let PCs, digital music players and smartphones store data and display it on flat, high-resolution screens. And they are inside the company’s own finished consumer products such as its top selling TVs and No. 2-ranked smartphones. But Samsung still has a perception problem.
