SEMI Holds 2018 Flex Korea
Published2018.06.14 20:04Flexible electronics applications are a field that enables various advanced flexible applications through the combination of conventional IC manufacturing, printing, and display industries.
This year, under the theme of "Path to the MARKET," the conference will cover Flexible/Printed/Hybrid Electronics applications including recently highlighted flexible displays, automotive and IoT sensors, quantum dots, micro LEDs, and flexible battery technologies.
Twenty-one speakers will present at this conference, with most speakers being experts invited from global companies. The conference is expected to serve not only as a venue for practical sharing of flexible electronics technology that is rapidly commercializing worldwide, but also as an opportunity for domestic companies to engage in in-depth discussions on related industries.
The first day will be a display session covering state-of-the-art processing technologies such as quantum dots, micro LEDs, and stretchable displays. The second day will feature presentations on energy and automotive sensors as well as traditional printed electronics industries and related material technologies.
The four keynote speakers are ▲ Kwon Se-yeol, Team Leader at LG Display, ▲ Falcon Liu, Director at PlayNitride, ▲ Professor Seok Jun-hyung at Hanyang University, and ▲ Cha Jung-hoon, Executive Vice President at NVIDIA, presenting on flexible OLED displays, micro LEDs, display technology prospects, and automotive sensors respectively.
Jo Hyun-dae, CEO of Korea SEMI, stated, "FLEX Korea will serve as a venue to present strategic directions through examination of technology trends in the printing and flexible fields, which are emerging as future industries."
Prior to the start of the conference, SEMI will hold a Short Course, a foundational education program on printed electronics and inkjet technology. In this program, participants can establish basic concepts in printed electronics and inkjet technology, learn about related technology trends, with Dr. Cho Jung-dae from Korea Institute of Machinery and Materials and Dr. Kim Sung-jin from BASF participating as speakers.

The global semiconductor packaging materials market recorded sales of $16.7 billion.
SEMI and TechSearch International announced that the global semiconductor packaging materials market recorded sales of $16.7 billion in 2017. As growth in smartphones and personal computers (PCs), which had been traditional drivers, slowed, material consumption also declined. However, this decline was offset by growth in the cryptocurrency market that emerged in 2017 and early 2018. Nevertheless, flip chip package shipments to the cryptocurrency market are not expected to remain at elevated levels going forward.
