✅ CES 2026 Innovation Award Honoree (Sustainability & Energy)
Core Technology & Products
1. Nanoparticle Solar Smart Window (CES 2026 Innovation Award Winner)

• Description: A revolutionary smart window technology that requires no external wiring or electricity grid connection. It is powered entirely by integrated solar panels using nanoparticle technology.
• Key Benefits:
• Energy Efficiency: Reduces building energy consumption by 20–40%.
• Cost Efficiency: Reduces installation costs by 50% compared to traditional PDLC (Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal) or electrochromic technologies due to the elimination of complex wiring.

• Application: Smart cities, green buildings, zero-energy construction.

• Eco-Friendly Anti-Glare (AG) Surface Treatment

• Description: A proprietary etching and coating technology for cover glass and polymer windows that eliminates the use of toxic hydrofluoric acid (HF).

• Key Benefits:
• Durability: Permanent treatment (not a temporary film) ensuring long-term reliability.
• [cite_start]Versatility: Applicable to 3D curved surfaces and large-format displays (e.g., automotive dashboards, huge infotainment screens)[cite: 1].
• Visual Quality: High transmittance with reduced "sparkling" (a common issue in AG glass), providing a paper-like feel for touch devices.
  Recent Milestones & Activity
• 2025:
• Recipient of the CES 2026 Innovation Award.
• Initiated mass production (MP) line operation for Anti-Glare products in September.
• [cite_start]AG solar panels received performance verification from an accredited testing institution[cite: 1].
• Participated in CES 2025 (K-Water Pavilion).
• 2024:
• Acquired ISO9001, ISO14001, and ISO45001 certifications.
• [cite_start]Initiated development of high-efficiency & durable AG solar panels[cite: 1].
