ETRI developed organic nano-lens fabrication technology suitable for mass production of OLED display products and capable of preventing the risk of color mixing. The successful development of these nano-lenses composed of organic materials was achieved through a vacuum deposition process only, instead of an existing liquid process. The application of a vacuum deposition process can save production costs because it does not require any additional processes, unlike the liquid process. The process is easy to apply in the industry and suitable for fabricating not only hard but also flexible substrates. Therefore, it is expected to be widely applied in various fields, including display product development.
ETRI announced its plan to transfer its authentication server to domestic companies after the technology passed the interoperability test, which was carried out in San Jose, US under the supervision of FIDO on August 20th.
As of now, Authenticator Certification Level 1 is available, which concerns smartphone-oriented services only, but FIDO 2 certified technology can be applied not only to smartphones but also to web browsers in PC and OS environments. Such application will provide fundamental solutions to issues of personal information leakage arising from hacking threats and attacks in the use of user bio information, thereby serving as a critical security tool for various platforms, such as financial transaction applications or those requiring authentication processes.
ETRI announced its successful development of a 1cm×1cm optical device capable of doubling the transmission capacity of light polarization-based communications by using both horizontal and vertical electric fields.
The technology is expected to be applied to quantum communication technology and polarization diversity-based optical communication systems, thereby significantly increasing the transmission capacity and speed of optical communications.
