Junhee Sim, a Ph.D. candidate in the School of Electrical Engineering (ADNC Lab, advised by Professor Kyung Cheol Choi), received the Gold Award of the KIDS Award at the 2026 International Meeting on Information Display (IMID 2026).
IMID, hosted by the Korean Information Display Society (KIDS) and the Society for Information Display (SID), is a globally recognized international conference in the field of display technologies. This year, IMID 2026 was held at BEXCO in Busan from August 18 to 21, 2026. The KIDS Award, sponsored by LG Display and Samsung Display, recognizes outstanding papers based on the innovation and excellence of their research in the display field. The Gold Award is the highest honor of the KIDS Award and is presented to only two papers.
Junhee’s award-winning paper, titled “Artificial Neural Network-based Optical Inverse Design of White Tandem Organic Light-Emitting Diodes”, proposes an artificial intelligence-based inverse design approach for optimizing the optical structure of white tandem organic light-emitting diodes (White Tandem OLEDs), which consist of complex multilayer thin-film structures.
This award recognizes the excellence of AI-based optical design technology for displays and its potential for application in the design of next-generation display devices.
