The Korea Testing and Certification Institute (hereinafter referred to as KTC, Director An Seong-il) announced that it held its first technology exchange meeting with the Korea Photonics Technology Institute (hereinafter referred to as KOPTI, Director Shin Yong-jin) on the 11th.
The meeting took place at 3 PM on the 11th in the main conference room on the second floor of the KOPTI Gwangju headquarters, with KTC Vice President Yu Jae-yeol, KOPTI Vice Presidents Park Seok-ju and Kim Doo-geun, among others in attendance.
Operational staff from both institutions included ▲KTC Lee Chang-hoon, Semiconductor Power Business Division Head, Yoon Il-jun, Business Strategy Division Head, Park Chang-yong, Electrical and Display Center Director ▲KOPTI Lee Chang-kwon, Corporate Support Division Head, Hwang Seong-hwan, Future Strategy Planning Division Head, Kim Young-woo, Opto-Semiconductor Display Research Division Head, Kim Myung-jin, Opto-ICT Convergence Research Division Head, Jo Mi-ryeong, Digital Lighting Research Division Head, Kim Sang-mook, Opto-Energy Research Division Head, Kwak Min-soo, Industrial Policy Research Office Director, Lee Dong-hee, Gyeonggi Opto-Convergence Technology Center Director.
The exchange meeting aimed to seek mutual cooperation solutions and discover new projects in four main areas: energy, semiconductors, carbon neutrality, and photobiological safety, between KTC, a testing and certification institute, and KOPTI, a specialized research institution in opto-convergence technology.
KTC proposed joint initiatives in new R&D projects in the fields of lighting and displays, and support for next-generation displays and new light sources, including reliability assessments.
KOPTI requested cooperation in testing and certification of opto-convergence products and discussed joint discovery of new R&D projects in areas such as solar cells/modules, hydrogen/carbon dioxide, secondary batteries and post-use battery applications, AI/distributed resource systems in the carbon neutrality sector.
Additionally, KOPTI proposed joint development of testing and evaluation methods for AR/VR/XR (augmented/virtual/extended reality) devices in the field of photobiological safety.
KTC plans to organize a working group (tentatively named) with KOPTI and sign a business agreement on newly discovered projects, with plans to jointly promote projects through a close cooperation relationship.
Director An Seong-il of KTC stated, "We have organized the first technology exchange meeting with a specialized research institution in opto-convergence technology," and added, "We will continue to establish sustainable cooperative relationships with relevant institutions to develop win-win mutual cooperation solutions."
