Nano convergence technologies

Our team is focused on developing nanolaminate encapsulation barriers that can effectively shield organic electronic devices from external environments. By employing an innovative lamination technique for ultra-thin films at the nanometer scale, we are pioneering encapsulation structures that effectively control moisture penetration into the devices. Additionally, to apply this technology to free-form displays, we have developed flexible and stretchable barrier films that are resistant to deformation, bending, and stretching in various environments. This was achieved through the development of polymer blending technologies and techniques for infiltrating inorganic layers into polymers. As a result, we are providing more robust and adaptable protective barriers, opening up new possibilities in display technology.

Our team is focused on developing sensor technology capable of real-time monitoring of heart rate and SpO2. We use OLED light sources to measure blood flow beneath the skin and employ Optical Position Detector (OPD) technology to achieve precise sensing. Additionally, unlike traditional rigid sensors, we are developing a flexible sensor system that can be integrated into textiles, maximizing wearer comfort. Through this, we are providing more practical and efficient wearable sensor technologies, opening up new possibilities for health monitoring.

Our team is also focused on the development of Thin Film Transistors (TFTs) and is researching transistor technologies to drive OLEDs as active matrix displays on platforms such as textiles and fabrics. We are leading the development of innovative processes and structural designs to create flexible and lightweight TFTs, aiming to achieve high-efficiency driving in fiber-based display systems. Additionally, by applying this technology to textile platforms, we are opening new possibilities to detect real-time changes and control displays. Through this, we are providing active matrix driving systems that ensure mobility, reliability, and stability, similar to flat-panel displays.
