DuPont will feature its latest silver nanowire-based technologies at Electronics Manufacturing Korea (EMK) and Automotive World Korea (AWK) from April 16 to 18. Visitors can explore DuPont’s cutting-edge innovations in Hall D, Booth A31.
The company has broadened its advanced product offerings to include material solutions designed for transparent heaters, smart surfaces, Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), in-mold electronics (IME), transparent electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding, infrared (IR) reflection, and additional automotive and consumer electronics applications.
“As electric vehicles, autonomous driving, and e-mobility evolve, technologies like Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) sensors and onboard cameras are critical to enhancing safety and user experience,” said Yuan Yuan Zhou, global business director, Advanced Circuit & Packaging, DuPont. “Our electronics and industrial solutions provide a comprehensive product suite that supports uniform, transparent heating for LiDAR systems, cameras, headlamps, windshields and more. Through global reach and strong partnerships, we empower Tier 1 and Tier 2 manufacturers to innovate in today’s dynamic automotive landscape.”
At the trade show, DuPont’s technical experts will showcase their latest advancements in silver nanowire technology, driving innovation in next-generation in-mold electronics (IME) and transforming automotive interior design. The company's transparent conductive materials—films, inks and coatings—enable enhanced features such as smart surfaces, transparent heating, EMI shielding, ADAS functionality and IR reflection.
Among the highlighted solutions is DuPont Activegrid ink, a highly transparent and flexible formulation that offers excellent optical clarity and conductivity. Activegrid ink is highly durable under ultraviolet light, elevated temperatures, and humidity, and can be applied to 3D and curved surfaces through spray or flow coating methods. This makes it a versatile and cost-efficient alternative to indium tin oxide, suitable for transparent heaters, OLED displays, EMI shielding, smart windows, IME and photovoltaic applications.
DuPont will also highlight Activegrid ink LT, a low-temperature variant designed to cure at less than 60 degrees Celsius. This rapid, energy-efficient curing process is ideal for temperature-sensitive substrates like polarizers, polyurethane films, adhesives and complex biomedical components—opening new doors in consumer electronics and healthcare technology.
Also on display will be DuPont Activegrid film, a premier transparent conductive film offering outstanding optical and electrical performance. Renowned for its flexibility and excellent conductivity, the film is compatible with substrates including PET, PC, COP, and CPI. It enables advanced capabilities for capacitive touch interfaces, in-mold electronics, OLED displays and transparent heating systems.
DuPont’s showcase at EMK and AWK reflects its ongoing commitment to pioneering material technologies that shape the future of mobility and electronics.
