Three ITRI Technologies Honored at 2022 R&D 100 Awards – Yahoo Finance
This is the 15th consecutive year ITRI received the honor of the R&D 100 Awards
HSINCHU, Nov. 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — The Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI), Taiwan’s largest and one of the world’s leading high-tech applied research institutions was recognized at the R&D 100 Awards Gala held in San Diego on November 17 for its three winning technologies this year. The award winners are: High Resolution Full-Color Micro LED Display for AR Glasses in the IT/electrical category; Point-of-Care AI-DR in the software/services category; and, in collaboration with Celanese® Micromax™ (former DuPont MCM), GreenTape™ 9KC LTCC and Ag Metallization for mmWave 5G Wireless Devices in the mechanical/materials category.
Often referred to as the “Oscars of innovation” and the “Nobel Prize of engineering,” the R&D 100 Awards competition recognizes new commercial products, technologies and materials for their technological significance. The R&D 100 Awards this year celebrates 60 years of honoring great R&D pioneers and their revolutionary ideas in science and technology.
“ITRI has had an amazing 15-year run at the R&D 100 Awards. This year included three winners and seven finalists, so 10 ITRI technologies received acknowledgement this year,” said R&D World VP and Editorial Director Paul Heney. “Over the past several decades, Taiwan has been an economic phenomenon, and one of the reasons is that Taiwan has consistently invested in research and development. National labs like ITRI are critical for innovation and the development of new technologies for industry,” said R&D World VP and Editorial Director Paul Heney.
ITRI President Edwin Liu expressed his excitement about ITRI’s performance at the R&D 100 Awards. “We are honored to be recognized for the 15th consecutive year by the prestigious R&D 100 Awards for winning three innovations. Since 2008, we have won 50 R&D 100 Awards, and more than 90% of the winning technologies have been commercialized, showing that the innovations all have immense industry value,” he said. “ITRI will continue to develop market-oriented R&D results and explore new opportunities to innovate a better future for society.”
ITRI is currently seeking licensing partnerships with global companies that will bring these innovative, patented R&D 100 Award-winning technologies to market:
High Resolution Full-Color Micro LED Display for AR Glasses
The High Resolution Full-Color Micro LED Display for AR Glasses assists panel manufacturers and other industry players to upgrade their technology, expand their Micro LED applications, meet market demand and secure business opportunities in next-generation augmented reality (AR) display products. It features high resolution, high brightness, great compatibility, and low power consumption. To introduce ITRI’s Micro LED technology into augmented reality applications and deliver it from lab to market, ITRI founded an alliance in 2016 to integrate the supply chain. The alliance connects 50 industry chain suppliers in advanced materials, semiconductor processes, and precision equipment. It provides comprehensive upstream to downstream solutions to fulfill industry needs for different stages of verification, development, and IP licensing.
Point-of-Care AI-DR
Point-of-Care AI-DR is the first AI-assisted system which can be integrated into handheld and desktop fundus cameras commonly used in hospitals and clinics to detect diabetic retinopathy (DR) and diabetic macular edema (DME). Point-of-Care AI-DR diagnoses DR and DME in 5 to 10 seconds, instantly assesses image quality before diagnosis to prevent misinterpretation by the AI, marks lesions and assesses the corresponding severity levels, and can identify 14 other common ocular fundus abnormalities. Point-of-Care AI-DR is easy to use, so general physicians can perform early screening for DR and DME complications. It also can determine whether a patient should be referred to an ophthalmologist. Screening through general physicians increases screening rates, reduces treatment costs and improves patient outcomes by enabling early detection.
GreenTape™ 9KC LTCC and Ag Metallization for mmWave 5G Wireless Devices
5G mmWave frequency bands have become the key to the next-generation network. ITRI and Celanese® Micromax™ partnered to combine GreenTape™ low-temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) material and ITRI’s mmWave circuit design, creating a 5G mmWave communication component with high commercial value. Featuring low loss, high stability, and high heat dissipation, the innovation can be a powerful tool for 5G O-RAN innovators.

NASA has expanded SpaceX's role in the Artemis program and has selected the company's Starship lunar lander to ferry the second batch of astronauts to the Moon.
The launch of NASA’s Artemis 1 mission sent the Orion capsule on a journey to the Moon, in addition to 10 cubesats included as secondary payloads. The Space Launch System’s upper stage successfully deployed the tiny satellites yesterday, but one of them appears to be malfunctioning.
India's space agency has successfully launched the Vikram-S after much anticipation and years-long work in a boost to the private sector of the nation's space industry. The Vikram-S, developed by four-year-old startup Skyroot Aerospace, is a single-stage, spin-stabilized solid-propellant rocket with a mass of around 550 kilograms.
The animal was named after a leviathan, a biblical beast, in a nod to its size, according to researchers.
The personnel change is part of a broader restructuring aimed at reversing losses at the aerospace company’s defense unit.
After three-and-a-half years of sailing above Earth, the LightSail 2 spacecraft has burnt its shiny metallic wings as it reentered Earth’s atmosphere in a fiery blaze.
Advanced tech designed to cool NASA spacecraft could find its way into next-gen EV charging stations.
What is bigger: A ronna or a quetta? Scientists meeting outside of Paris on Friday — who have expanded the world’s measuring unit systems for the first time this century as the global population surges past 8 billion — have the answer. Rapid scientific advances and vast worldwide data storage on the web, in smartphones and in the cloud mean that the very terms used to measure things in weight and size need extending too.

The Space Force tacks on another satellite to a work Ball Aerospace is doing for the military. Here's why, and what it may be worth.
Operation Warp Speed, the Trump-era program that poured billions of dollars into developing COVID shots, seemed to signal a new dawn of American vaccine making, demonstrating how decades of scientific grunt work could be turned into lifesaving medicine in a matter of months. But as a third pandemic winter begins in the United States, its vaccine-making effort has lost steam. Efforts to test and produce next-generation COVID vaccines are bogged down by bureaucratic problems and funding shortfalls
Scientists say the new observations are just the tip of the iceberg of new discoveries coming in from Webb.
NASA’s Webb Space Telescope is finding bright, early galaxies that until now were hidden from view, including one that may have formed a mere 350 million years after the cosmic-creating Big Bang. Astronomers said Thursday that if the results are verified, this newly discovered throng of stars would beat the most distant galaxy identified by the Hubble Space Telescope, a record-holder that formed 400 million years after the universe began. Launched last December as a successor to Hubble, the Webb telescope is indicating stars may have formed sooner than previously thought — perhaps within a couple million years of creation.
India's space industry wants to enter the big league with the help of private firms and start-ups.
A Long March 6A breaks up in orbit, threatening SpaceX's Starlink satellite constellation
NASA recently added a new Moon landing to its Artemis plans and it needs a specialized human landing system to carry it out. To virtually no one’s surprise, NASA chose SpaceX to develop this second lunar lander.
A space venture called Gravitics has emerged from stealth with $20 million in seed funding and a plan to build space station modules at a 42,000-square-foot facility north of Seattle, in Marysville, Wash. As NASA makes plans to phase out the International Space Station in the 2031 time frame, Gravitics and its backers are betting on a rush to launch commercial outposts to low Earth orbit. The operators of those outposts just might need subcontractors to provide the hardware. Gravitics’ main offe
NASA’s Space Launch System blasted off on Wednesday, sending the uncrewed Orion spacecraft on a 25-day journey to the Moon and back. Orion should reach its destination early next week, at which time it’ll perform some intricate orbital acrobatics and set a number of spacefaring records in the process.
