#1 Precision Transfer-Printing-Based Micro/Nano-Patterning Technologies

To overcome the resolution limitations of conventional lithography, we develop low-cost, high-resolution nano-patterning technologies based on mechanically controlled transfer-printing processes. By precisely engineering fracture and release mechanisms, our approach enables deterministic and scalable patterning beyond the limits of optical lithography.

These technologies are readily applicable to advanced semiconductor, display, and image sensor manufacturing, as well as to emerging material systems such as quantum dots (QDs), two-dimensional materials, and oxide semiconductors, offering immediate impact on next-generation process development and device fabrication.

#2 Quantum-Dot-Based Next-Generation Displays and Image Sensors

Quantum-dot light-emitting diode (QD-LED) displays have attracted significant attention due to their ability to achieve both high color purity and high brightness, making them promising candidates for next-generation TVs, AR/VR systems, and automotive displays.

Our laboratory develops novel transfer-printing-based fabrication technologies, including Cracking-Assisted Transfer Printing (CATP), aiming to realize ultra-high-resolution (>16,000 ppi), cadmium-free QD-LED displays. These technologies are directly applicable to industrial research and development, including QD material and process optimization, high-resolution display panel fabrication, and QD-based photodetectors for image sensor applications.

#3 Oxide-Semiconductor-Based Thin-Film Transistors and Backplane Technologies

Oxide semiconductors offer excellent transparency, carrier mobility, and low-temperature process compatibility, making them ideal for large-area, flexible, and stretchable electronic and display systems.

Our research focuses on oxide semiconductor thin-film transistors (TFTs) for flexible and stretchable platforms, including advanced substrate engineering, liquid-metal-based stretchable interconnects, and high-performance, high-reliability short-channel oxide backplane architectures for ultra-high-resolution displays. These technologies are well suited for technology transfer and collaborative research in flexible displays, wearable sensors, curved automotive displays, and next-generation backplane process development.
