Ever-lasting company with
CREATIVEMAN-POWER
In 1998, SUKWON Co., Ltd. was founded as a display and digital systems manufacturer under the slogan, “Creating something from nothing.” Using
its thin film sputtering technologies, the company has supplied systems to large TSP manufacturers such as Samsung and LG, as well as several
other small and medium companies, over the years. In addition, the company has also continuously increased its exports and entered into supply
agreements with global companies like China’s NMC and U.S.’s GE Group. SUKWON Co., Ltd. has spearheaded innovation efforts to cope with the
rapidly changing environment of the high-tech industry. Through continuous technology development, the company has developed vacuum
sputtering systems and technologies and become the fi rst Korean company to commercialize the ITO sputtering system for which the industry was
heavily dependent on imports, and cemented its competitive edge by acquiring costsaving technologies. To strengthen core capabilities in its
businesses and expand its competitive advantage, the company created a management system, which provides an innovative response to the
changing markets and business environment. Furthermore, the company will become a global leader in the 21st-century by making further inroads
into international markets. SUKWON Co.,Ltd. will continue its efforts to become a total sputtering systems company leading the 21st century by
creating the best value and getting recognized for its outstanding technology through new technology development, key human resources
development, and contributing to society.

SputteringEquipmentandFilm
Sputtering
One of the technologies to evaporate thin film affiliated in the physical vapor deposition. The technology to vaporize
deposition the materials by the movement of the ion and the electron in the vacuum by using plasma.
Sputteringequipment
An equipment to vaporize materials on film or glass using Sputtering method. The film and glass vapored by this equipment
will be utilized to produce the displays for TV and cell phone, etc.
FilmCoating
According to the customer’s need, the materials will be vaporized on the expected board using Sputtering equipment. The
vaporized film will be used in the various display products group after post-process by the customer.

● Businessbackgroundandmarketprospect
•The information in the modern society functions very important role. Before we know, we are used to the information flooded by
internet, so-called sea of information, media, newspaper, and magazines. Under these circumstances, the information to the data
users becomes very important part.
•The ceaselessly addressed individual information leakage followed by the various crime phenomena become endless homework in
the modern information-oriented society.
•In fact, lots of people have done to cover with hands or move to the place having less moving people in order to avoid other
people’s attention when using notebook, PC, smart phone, and they say information security is absolutely necessary
•In order to secure such information protection, the necessity of security film which prevents certain viewing angle unreadable
becomes more critical.
•Current market is for Notebook, PC Monitor, Cell-phone, and tablet PC, but gradually to be expanded for ATM, Cashier counter,
Ticket issuance, public monitor that deal with individual information.
● Productstructure
The structure of the products are divided mainly in two ways, 2WAY(blocking viewing angles from left and right), 4WAY(blocking
viewing angles from above, below, right and left), each functional film is laminated in front and back of the film and used as well as the
basic security film.
