A technology transfer briefing session for the American company AST was held at the Dongseo University Technology Management Center.
[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] A regional university in Korea has made a breakthrough. Dongseo University is ‘exporting’ patented technology to the United States, a global technology market.
On the 18th, Dongseo University’s Technology Management Center and LINC+ Project Group announced that they have completed the technology transfer of a U.S. patent related to ‘3D display’ technology to the American company AST.
The patented technology is named ‘Development of a high-definition 3D image processing technology that improves the direct image (IP) depth expression range.’
This is an autostereoscopic 3D display device using a two-dimensional single lens array and integral imaging, developed as a result of three years of research conducted by Professor Lee Byung-guk (Director of the IAI Research Institute) at Dongseo University since 2012.
Professor Lee developed a high-definition 3D image display system and a real-time 3D content generation algorithm for integral imaging using two methods: resolution-priority and depth-priority.
Among these, the U.S. patent related to the depth-priority method and two related domestic patents have been transferred as a single ‘family patent’ to the U.S. company AST.
The two domestic patents transferred are the depth-priority integral imaging display method using a diagonally divided dynamic mask array and the depth-priority integral imaging display method using a non-uniform dynamic mask array.
The global technology transfer is the result of cooperation between the Technology Management Center and the LINC+ Project Group, utilizing the technology transfer commercialization network to facilitate the transfer.
It has been proven that the patented technology developed by Dongseo University is of such high quality that it is recognized even in the United States. Additional technology transfers to the U.S. are expected in the future.
Park Sung-hwan, head of the Technology Management Center, explained, “We are actively proceeding with technology transfers in close cooperation with the LINC+ Project Group,” adding, “We continuously strengthen online communication with industry-academia cooperation demand companies by utilizing the DSU Technology Management Consulting Center DATM platform.”
The center plans to serve as a technology transfer commercialization control tower that consults on difficulties during the transfer process and supports the growth of small and medium venture companies.
Cho Dae-su, head of Dongseo University’s LINC+ Project Group, said, “Taking the U.S. technology transfer as an opportunity, we will continuously discover competitive patented technologies at Dongseo University and increase global filings to IP5 countries.”
Dongseo University has embarked on a project to leap forward as an entrepreneurial university for technology transfer commercialization and industry-academia cooperation by revitalizing domestic and international technology transfers.
