Korea Display Industry Association (KDIA) said on the 23rd it will publicly recruit new demand sources for the "convergence display demonstration project."
The project will be promoted as part of the "convergence display application product discovery and demonstration support project," supported by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Resources and overseen by the Korea Planning&Evaluation Institute of Industrial Technology (KEIT). The goal is to identify "symbolic demonstration sites" to expand the market for next-generation display products that incorporate Korea's technology. The plan is to install displays in spaces where multiple international conferences are held or where key figures and many domestic and foreign visitors come, maximizing publicity effects and driving the spread of the technology.
Korea Display Industry Association will support the sequential selection of symbolic hubs over a total of two years, choosing one site each this year and next year to ensure continuity and maximize demonstration effectiveness. It will make support decisions after a comprehensive evaluation of the submitted demonstration sites' ▲space suitability ▲publicity impact ▲operation and management capabilities. It will then select the products and corporations to be installed in the space through a separate call, and support product production and demonstration project costs.
Korea Display Industry Association has carried out this project from 2023 to 2025, installing transparent organic light-emitting diode (OLED) and micro LED, among others, at ▲the National Museum of Korea's transparent OLED art vision ▲Cheongyang County Memorial Park's artificial intelligence (AI) service ▲the LA trade office in the United States ▲Vietnam's Hanoi National University, promoting domestic display technology.
A Korea Display Industry Association official said, "The purpose of this project is to build spaces at major domestic and overseas hubs that incorporate our technology to prove the excellence of the products, and through this, to strengthen industrial competitiveness and create new markets."
