Professor Park Si-hyeon’s (46) research team at the YU Department of Electronic Engineering won the Best Poster Award (Gold) at the 2019 ICAE (International Conference on Advanced Electromaterials).
The ICAE holds a large-scale international academic conference encompassing all next-generation electromaterials and element technology sectors. At the 5th international academic conference held at the Ramada Plaza Jeju Hotel from November 5 to 8, researchers from universities and research institutes from 25 countries around the world participated to present over 1,100 of the most recent research outcomes.
The study published by the YU research team was titled ‘Integration of LED Arrays onto Textile and Their Individual Control’. The research team coated and processed synthetic resins such as polyester and polyurethane on the surface of fibers to manufacture fibers on which general semiconductor processes such as sputter and thermal deposition is possible to integrate LED matrix on the surface of this fiber in order to configure fine electronic circuits for display and individual control.

The leader of this research team, Professor Park, said, “I have been interested on conducting research on light emitting fibers using inorganic light emitting diodes from the perspective of safety and reliability in the fiber electronics sector from long ago. However, there were many difficulties in applying it for industrialization due to difficulties of electronic circuit configuration and precision, as well as low flexibility, etc., and therefore, we focused more on researching and developing light emitting fibers using organic materials.” He went on saying, “Through this research, we were able to integrate inorganic light emitting diodes, which was difficult to configure with past technologies, to develop controllable fibers. The results of this study are noteworthy in that it shows the possibilities for the activation of the wearable device industry.”
This study was joined by Professor Park, Graduate School of Electronic Engineering Kim Dong-woo (26, third term in master’s program, photo on right), Seo Ji-young (23, third term in master’s program, photo on right) and YU LED-IT Fusion Technology Research Center researcher Lee Young-woong (38). Kim Dong-woo and Seo Ji-young, who participated as primary authors of this study, finally reaped the fruits from their research since their undergraduate years through the YU Department of Electronic Engineering’s bachelor’s-master’s linked program. Mr. Kim has already been recognized for his research capacities by winning the best poster award at the 2nd Korean LED Optoelectronics academic conference in February.

The research team announced its future research plans stating, “We plan to draw up precise electronic circuits inside of fibers through fiber weaving process R&D. We will continue research on the process for creating fibers on which mini/micro LEDs can be applied, which is receiving attention as next-generation displays, and fiber coating.”
