KIMS, Smart Window Industrial Technology Exchange Meeting held

Opening a new smart window era!


The Korea Institute of Materials Science (KIMS), a government-funded research institute under the Ministry of Science and ICT, held the ‘1st Smart Window Industrial Technology Exchange Meeting’ at Konkuk University Seoul Campus on January 10th (Tue). At this meeting, where experts from industry-academia-research institutes related to smart windows and government officials gathered together, suggestions were made on the direction of industrial development from various perspectives such as enhancing technical and industrial understanding of the smart window industry and ways to nurture and support the industry in the future.



Currently, smart window technology is growing very rapidly toward the industrial world beyond the interest of the academic and research world. However, despite the many research achievements in this field, there has been a lack of specialized sessions at the level of systematic research conferences/exchange meetings/associations/academic societies. In the meantime, there have been many difficulties in identifying new research status, industry-university-research institute exchange, and commercialization at home and abroad. To resolve the relevant issues, this meeting aims to launch the ‘Smart Window Industrial Technology Research Exchange Meeting (tentative name)’ necessary for stable industrialization, such as smart window technology lectures, listening to industry status and bottleneck technology, continuous research and development, and standards·certifications of industrial products.



During the technology presentation, Chun-yeop Lee, Executive director of Orion NES, presented ‘Orion NES Film-type Smart Window Technology’, Byung-in Choi, CEO of G2B, presented ‘SPD Technology and Commercialization Strategy’, Kwang-seok Lee, CEO of Bestroom, presented ‘PDLC Technology and Commercialization Strategy’, Professor Jun-tae Kim of Kongju University presented ‘Functional Product Standard/Certification Procedure for Net Zero Energy Building’, Professor Tae-jong Baeck of Chung-Ang University presented ‘High-Efficiency Thermochromic Technology’, Professor Hong-cheol Moon of Seoul City University presented ‘Functional Electrochromic Device and Energy Storage System’, Dr. So-yeon Kim of KIMS presented ‘Material Technology for Film-type Discoloration Device’, and Professor Se-hyeon Kim of Konkuk University presented ‘Printing Process Technology for Organic/Inorganic electrochromic elements’.



Dong-chan Lim, head of the Nano Innovation Research Center at the KIMS, who chaired this technology exchange meeting, said, “To gain momentum to support the demand of the industry, it is time for the industry, academia, and related organizations to come together.” He also said, “We expect that the launch of this exchange meeting will contribute to the vitalization of technology and industrialization, such as fostering and supporting the industry in the future.”



Meanwhile, this technology exchange meeting was attended by 23 institutions (8 smart window-related developers, 5 automobile and construction-related companies, 2 government agencies (Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy, National Research Foundation of Korea), 3 government-funded research institutes, and 5 universities). In the second half of this year, KIMS plans to hold a second exchange meeting to discuss programs and government support for deriving practical cooperative relationships with more diverse industry-academia-research officials.
