Skin regeneration and whitening through low-power laser is one of the well-known skin care methods. However, there was a limitation that the effect could not be maximized by irradiating the light. Fronics, a small technology giant, has developed a flexible micro LED that can innovatively improve it. Reporter Park Ji-eun.

Hundreds of micro LEDs the thickness of a human hair emit light on a thin substrate less than 1mm.

Since it is made based on a flexible printed circuit board, it has the advantage of being able to bend freely.

This technology, so-called flexible micro LED, has been developed by Fronics since 2016.

Fronics, which has continued its technological development by acquiring 15 related patents, plans to release an LED mask product based on this in the first half of next year.

The biggest feature of the micro LED mask to be introduced by Fronics is that it is directly attached to the skin.

In the case of existing LED mask products, the method of irradiating the light has led to the loss of the LED light even when it touches the skin.

However, it is explained that the LED mask of Fronics can increase the effect by lowering the loss rate of the LED light.

In Fronics, Iwin, a KOSDAQ-listed company, is the largest shareholder, and its affiliate Iwin Plus recently invested 7 billion won to become the second largest shareholder.

Fronics has placed an order for equipment for mass production and is in the process of finalizing product design and commercialization.
