Reasearch on the fabrication of memristor-based fabric non-volatile logic computing circuits by Ph.D candidate Bae, Hak-Yeol(Prof. Choi, Yang-Gyu) and Ph.D candidate Jang, Byung-cheol (Prof. Choi, Seong-Yool) has been published in Nano Letters.
Fabric type memristor devices were fabricated by coating tens of nano metal layers and insulating film layers on the yarn making clothes, and lattice.
This fabric type memristor device has excellent flexibility and overcomes the limitation of conventional von Neumann computing method in order to minimize battery consumption of wearable electronic device. It makes static power consumption close to 0 W, so it is expected that the application value is high as a wearable element.

Paper: Highly Flexible and Reliable Gas Diffusion Barrier based on Nanolaminate Structure
Authors: Jeonghyun Kwon(Ph.D course), KyungCheol Choi(advisor Prof.)
Conference: International Meeting on Information Display 2017
Date: 2017.8.29 – 8.31
Introduction
In this paper, using ALD deposition technique as a sealing film of transparent flexible display, We have proposed a technology that improves the barrier function, mechanical and environmental reliability by fabricating ultra-thin nano structure with improved function and structure of the sealing film through the thin film thickness control at the level of angstrom.
Dr. Lee, Seung-Won (advisor: Prof. Yoo, Seung-Hyup) won the UDC Award* (prize : 15,000,000) at the 17th International Meeting on Information Display (IMID) held in Busan from August 8 to 31 with Dr. Moon, Han-Eol and Ph.D. student Yoon, Jung-Hoo.
Also, Ph.D. student Kim, Sung-Yeon (advisor: Prof. Yoo, Seung-Hyup) won the Young Leaders Conference Best Lecture Award in IMID 2017.
* The UDC Award is given by a Universal Display Corp, company that develops and supplies phosphors for almost all OLED displays. This award is given for innovative research achievements in the field of organic electronics.
UDC Award was established this year, and the research team of Prof. Yoo, Seung-Hyup(KAIST) and the research team of Prof. Lee, Jun-yeop(Sungkyunkwan University) have received the award this year.
