Woo-Seok Song, CEO of LeadingUI, said, “We apply for around 10 patents annually. For touch ICs, we plan to go beyond mobile applications and expand our target markets to middle and large screen segments including 32 inches and 100 inches. We expect to achieve more than KRW 10 billion this year: With regard to touch ICs for mobile phone, we aim to achieve around KRW 4 billion by providing them to domestic conglomerates, another KRW 4 billion by exporting to China in partnership with a Chinese company, and around KRW 2 billion with other touch and wireless charging ICs for middle and large-size products.”
The company is currently developing GF1 Self Cap middle and large size touch-screens for August review by conglomerates. Their main applications will be DID (Display Information Device), DS (Digital Signage), POS terminals, Digital Wall Paper, digital blind, etc.
