offers flexible modules with progressive
mechanical solutions, including mobile phones, laptops, tablet PCs, eReaders and eNotes, etc.

We successfully developed a foldable hinge mechanism through years of collaboration
with a global OLED flexible display maker and global set makers.

Foldable Hinge Core Technology

One-stop systems from design to assembly


F-VAS Operation diagram

Fixed-Virtual Axis Structure

Improved bezel thickness and appearance by moving the hinge to the bottom of the panel using the world's first virtual axis

¡Ø Retention of original patent for semi-circular rotational structure

V-VAS Operation diagram

Variable-Virtual Axis Structure

Technology that minimizes the stress on the panel by
control moving the virtual axis for the first time
in the world and improves wrinkles that occur during folding

Technical Overview

Hinge technology that can produce 4x higher
torque than traditional foldable hinges

Large Display Device Type

Securing high torque and reliability necessary for realization of foldable devices with large displays such as tablets and laptops

Single Hinge type

Reduce device weight and cost and flexibility in implementation design by reducing the number of hinges and mounting space installed in foldable devices with High Torque Hinges

What is Metal Injection Molding(MIM) method?

Metal powder injection molding is a technique developed to mass-produce a complex and small
precision components of the shape after mixing the metal powder with a polymer conjoined injection molding
method to remove the conjoined body, through the final sintering technique for producing a metal
product mechanical characteristics are the most competitive method during mass production of the required product.

MIM technology is applied to produce high-performance instrument
components with complex 3D shapes and provide cost-effectiveness MIM parts

MIM products are widely applied in industries such as automotive, medical, consumer electronics, military and aviation,
wearables, 5G, etc. in accordance with the rapid development of electronics
(major increased products foldable hinges, up-down cameras, multi-cameras, etc.),
the global MIM market reaches a size of $3.1 billion, and the domestic market is also growing steeply.

MIMPROCESS

01

Mixing

" Metal powder + Binder= Feed Stock .¡° The process of mixing binders and metal ingredients using MIM-dedicated mixers.

02

Injection Molding

The process of molding the desired shape by putting the mixing raw material into the injector

03

Liquid De-binding

The process of removing a portion of the inner binder put in the de-solution in a solvent extraction method of removing the binder of the injection product.

04

Thermal De-binding

The most commonly used heating removal method of removing the binder of the injection product is a process of removing the binder component inside the product by heating.

05

Sintering

The sintering process that increases the inter-metal bonding force by elevating the temperature to obtain the desired dimensions and strength as a final step.

06

Assembly & Inspection

MIM parts are connected to be assembled and inspected. Customer shipping process after Packing.
