A Kookmin University team has been selected for a government-backed nanomaterials technology development program focused on next-generation display materials. The project, supported by South Korea’s Ministry of Science and ICT and the National Research Foundation, brings together a multidisciplinary team to advance metal-halide color conversion materials.
The initiative centers on developing ultrathin perovskite-based color conversion layers for AR/VR and metaverse displays. The team will leverage AI-driven inverse design, combined with a closed-loop high-throughput screening platform, to accelerate materials discovery and optimization.
In collaboration with leading academic and research institutes, the project also aims to establish a national data hub for color conversion materials and develop high-brightness, high-color-purity luminescent systems. The effort is expected to shorten development cycles and strengthen Korea’s competitiveness in next-generation display technologies and optoelectronic applications.
