초록

Contemporary society is experiencing rapid development in information communication technology while merging into an era of High-Technology. The IT industry, a key industry of the nation, comprehends a considerable level of international competitive power. In such circumstance, a great deal of capital and technology were invested to mobile phone, which represents IT industry, and as the market widens, consumer needs also grew diversified. Through the evolution from the past voice call centered services to multi-media instruments, various technologies were developed. Looking into the changes from the 1st generation to the 4th generation by mobile technology development, it is shown that the early period mobile phones were merely media products. Along with technology development, fees dropped and user group enlarged. As the market grew in size, users' demands diversified and grew more demanding, and to satisfy such demands, various technology developments came out. Later on as technological differentiation became harder to achieve, the importance of design came to recognition. Form factor, among design elements, is a component of mobile phone, directly related to users, and has tight connection with IT technology. Form factor is a component that can show design difference at once, and is a characteristics that can show the technology directly. For such reason, between the 2.5th generation and the 3rd generation, various form factors were researched, developed and launched in the market. However, the current progress of form factor, when facing to enter the 4th generation, is at a standstill. That is because any specialized form factor would not be appropriate presently when virtually all the IT technologies are being implemented. At a time like this, another differentiation of form factor is needed.
