Successful Completion of the OLED Research Workshop! (2026-01-23)

26년 1월 23일 진행된 제 3회 DLOPL 워크샵이 성공적으로 종료되었습니다.
본 워크샵에서는 개인 연구와 2025년 한 해를 되돌아보며,
OLED에 대한 최신 연구 동향과 실질적인 적용 사례를 공유하고,
참여자 간의 심도 있는 논의가 활발히 이루어졌습니다.

이번 워크샵이 향후 연구 및 협업의 출발점이 되기를 기대합니다. 

The 3rd DLOPL Workshop, held on January 23, 2026, was successfully concluded.
During the workshop, participants reflected on their individual research and the year 2025, while sharing the latest research trends and practical application cases in OLED technology. In-depth and active discussions were carried out among the participants throughout the event.

We hope that this workshop will serve as a starting point for future research and collaboration.
