DIANA Lab.

The Display and Nanosystem (DIANA) labroatory was founded by Professor Byeong-Kwon Ju with his students in 1995 and is one of the leading laboratories in the world in flat panel displays, micro-systems, and nano-devices. It achieves the highest standards in both research and teaching, and has been selected as the honorable National Research Laboratory by the Korean government.

Vision & Mission

The main focus of the DIANA laboratory is to accomplish world-class research level and to produce outstanding graduates and therefore aims to provide innovative and creative research environment accompanied by high level of teaching.

• Developing an environment in which student members can freely express their thoughts and ideas, and respect each other.
• Acting as a counselor and advisor to the student members regarding their school life and future plans.
• Holding frequent one-to-one meetings with the prefessor in order to deeply discuss the structure and the in-depth details of the research topics.
• Sharing techniques and knowledge for strong industrial partnership.

Research

With professor Byeong-Kwon Ju, doctorate, and their active students, the DIANA laboratory focuses on the following research areas :

• Display Team
• - Flexible Display
• - Organic Light Emitting Diode


• Nanosystem Team
• - Barrier Technology and Permeation Test
• - Graphene
• - Laser Interference Lithography Application
• - Flexible Silicon Device
• - Flexible Memory Device

With world class facilities, the group is currently working on the following projects :

• - Development of photosensitive carbon nanotube (CNT) pastes and CNT-field emitters based on vertically aligned-CNT emitter array technology.
• - Development of core technology for flexible AM-OLED and image processing technology for HQ-LCD TV.
• - Development of processes and materials for passivation layers to improve durability of organic semiconductors.
• - Improvement in electrical characteristics of organic thin film transistors.
• - Hazardous environmental sensing and alerting system with nanowires and nanotubes.
• - Development of packaging for high efficient and low noise micro-light modulating device.
• - Packaging technology of catalytic combustion-type hydrogen gas sensor.

Achievements

Our group is gaining significant attention from many corporations due to its qualitative and quantitative achievements and is affiliated with companies such as, Hanwha Nanotech, KETI, LG Display, I-components, Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI), Seju-Engineering, and Samsung Electromechanics.

There are at present about one hundred students (35 Doctorates and 65 Masters) who received their degree from DIANA and are currently working as successful, leading researchers in various global corporations, with some of them continuing their studies overseas.

In addition, DIANA members received many recognized awards, such as Best Paper Award from the International Display Conference, Samsung Human-Tech Award, KIST's Excellence Researcher Award, and many other awards from national/international conferences proving their capability.

Finally, some members are significantly strengthening Korea's Nano/MEMS technology
(Choi Woo-Beom (BNP science, CEO, micro fabrication and packaging), Shin Kyung (SNS Revolution, CEO, micro/nano sensor design).

This website will guide you through on the latest news of events and opportunities, along with detailed information on our research programs, facilities, and on the activities of those who work in the laboratory.
