South Korean company Kreemo has developed the world's first transparent antenna with built-in displays

IT House January 15 news, according to ETNews reported that the South Korean company Kreemo developed the world's first display built-in antenna. Kreemo is in close discussions with four major North American customers on the commercialization of the technology.

As the world's leading provider of 5G mmWave antenna solutions, Kreemo has developed a built-in antenna (AOD) for transparent displays with smooth 360-degree high-capacity data transmission and reception characteristics.

The number of high-performance antennas installed on the equipment is increasing, and the requirements for larger spaces are higher. However, for the convenience of the user, it is difficult to increase the size of the device. Kreemo combines antenna and display into one, improving space utilization and enabling 360-degree smooth data transmission and reception.

IT House learned that with the built-in antenna, the display touch sensor function will still be available, and the array antenna will be invisible to the human eye through the thin microelectrodes in the display panel.

At present, the antenna is generally installed on the back or side of the device, and only signals from the back or side of the device can be sent and received. There is no problem in sending and receiving low-frequency signals, but signal interference occurs when sending and receiving large amounts of data. In particular, if the device is held by hand, the signal interference will be maximized.

Kreemo's display built-in antenna can be mounted on high-definition screens and glasses of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) or liquid crystal displays (LCDs) of smartphones, augmented reality (AR) and gaming devices, using invisible transparent antennas manufactured by partner company Dongwoo Fine-Chem.

The technology is close to commercialization. Kreemo is currently in discussions with the four largest companies in North America to jointly develop and collaborate on new products, which are expected to yield significant results within a year.

Kreemo, a company founded by Hong Yuanbin, a professor in the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at Pohang University of Science and Technology in South Korea, was recently selected as one of 100 start-ups in the field of materials, parts and equipment.
