Subject : Inkjet-Related Technology Transferred To Silicon Valley   
Date 2009-08-28 Visit 5143

Developed in Korea, an inkjet-related technology regarding a PCB substrate has been transferred to Silicon Valley, United States.

Soonchunhyang University¡¯s university-industry partnership team announced that it has transferred technology regarding an apparatus and related software for measuring and analyzing inkjet ejection necessary for fabricating a PCB substrate to Tungs International (Chairman: Charles Tung) for $10,000.

Tungs International is a company located in Silicon Valley, California that manufactures PCB substrates by using inkjet techniques and is planning to build a PCB substrate manufacturing factory and a laboratory in Taiwan by the end of this year.

The technology has been recently developed and applied for international patent by Gye-si Kwon, a professor in the mechanical engineering department of Soonchunhyang University. Charles Tung, the chairman of Tungs International, who has worked at Hewlett-Packardfor 12 years, checked the technology and requested Professor Kwon to transfer the technology.

An official from Soonchunhyang University said, ¡°We¡¯re very interested in this transfer of technology, not only because our technology has been recognized by a foreign company, but also because it is our first technology that has been transferred abroad. We¡¯re expecting to significantly increase profits from running royalties if we close a commercializing contract within the next 3 to 5 years.
