RF Semi announced on the 18th that "Jinpyeong Electronics, which is becoming the largest shareholder, has recently registered a total of 25 patents related to LFP (Lithium Iron Phosphate) batteries," and stated, "We will introduce the technological competitiveness and business plans for LFP batteries at Battery Day 2023 held today."


RF Semi is participating in Battery Day today at COEX in Samseong-dong, Gangnam-gu, together with Jinpyeong Electronics and the Jinpyeong Group. The LFP business presentation will be led by Kim Jaeseok, General Director of the Jinpyeong Group.


Jinpyeong Electronics holds various patents issued domestically, in the United States, Europe, and other regions necessary for the production of LFP batteries, including cathode materials, anode materials, separators, electrolytes, and exterior materials. Key patents include ▲lithium secondary batteries containing precursors with improved tap density ▲pre-treatment of anode current collectors for lithium secondary batteries including vapor-grown carbon fibers ▲electrode assemblies including asymmetrically coated separators ▲and the manufacturing of electrolyte lithium-lanthanum-zirconium-based solid electrolytes.


The company plans to strengthen its entry into the global market based on 25 patents registered in Korea, the United States, Europe, and Asia. Since the business purpose for battery sales will be added at the extraordinary general meeting on the 22nd, full-scale business development is expected to be possible. The company explained that this may impose constraints on latecomers to the LFP battery market in terms of time and patent rights until they reach the RF Semi stage.



Previously, Jinpyeong Electronics announced that it restructured its governance to become a domestic company. Jinpyeong Electronics will act as a domestic holding company controlling RF Semi and Hong Kong Jinpyeong. In the future, by RF Semi controlling Hong Kong Jinpyeong, a vertical integration structure of Jinpyeong Electronics → RF Semi → Hong Kong Jinpyeong → Shanghai·Shanxi Lanwan Jinpyeong is planned to be established.
