[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunseok Yoo] Egjax announced on the 10th that it has been selected as a supported company for the ‘Excellent Corporate Research Institute Development Project (ATC+)’ organized by the Korea Evaluation Institute of Industrial Technology (KEIT) under the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy.


ATC+ is a project by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy that selects and supports excellent corporate-affiliated research institutes. Companies selected for ATC+ join the ATC Association and receive know-how and various services to strengthen their research institute capabilities. For this project, Egjax will receive a total of 2.4 billion KRW in research and development funds over the next four years.


Through the selection for ATC+, Egjax plans to develop dot adhesives and bonding agents for foldable display touch components that can be screen printed. While existing film-type dot adhesives have difficulty filling the fine patterns of touch components, printed dot adhesives can be precisely applied between fine patterns, significantly reducing thickness with this new technology.


A company representative stated, “We expect to lead the new foldable touch component market by overcoming the current technology limitations in adhesive thickness and bonding strength,” adding, “We will carry out research and development without setbacks to produce products applicable to various devices.”



Founded in 1976, Egjax is a materials and components specialized company developing and selling display, OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) materials, RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) and more. Recently, it completed a national project to develop flexible OCA (Optically Clear Adhesive films) and OCR (Optically Clear Resins) applicable to domestic and international display companies. In April, it secured new growth momentum by investing 10 million USD in HL Biotech’s subsidiary, Immunomic Therapeutics.
