Introduction
NTHU / ITRI Joint Research Center
A、Introduction
Objective：
NTHU / ITRI Joint Research Center was founded in 2002. The main objectives are doing mutual creative
and foresight joint researches, integrating interdisciplinary resource and building technology cooperation
platform. Hopefully, with this cooperation, to have resource complementation, deepen both sides’
research and attain industrialization and realization purpose.
There are two cooperation plans in this center, normal academic research plan and large-scale plan.
Normal academic research plan is mainly for the research relative with photoelectric and semiconductor
cooperated with the Electronics and Optoelectronics Research Institute in ITRI. The large-scale plan is
mainly for the cooperation with both of the Electronics and Optoelectronics Research institute and the
Information and Communications Research institute in ITRI, focus on picturing the plans with grand
challenge.
There are two main research directions of the proceeding large-scale plans: multi-core system and chip
design technology、research and design of optoelectronic devices on cutting edge technology.
Enrich research and design energy has been accumulated after years of proceeding. Hopefully,
through the cooperation mechanism, add creative research and design energy to national electronics,
optoelectronics, Information and Communications industry.
Purpose：
With the cooperation, to have resource complementation, deepen both sides’ research and attain
industrialization and realization purpose.

B、Research Topic
Research Topic：The research center plans to use the industrial application、 IP and tech-transition result
as the figure of merit. Executions focus on optoelectronics device、nanoelectronics、digital image and
flat panel display.
Research result：The result of this plan is shared mutually. Each year, tens papers are published and
many patent are fired. The personnel exchange between both sides is frequent and shares each
experimental resource to make a win-win situation for the academic and industry.
C、Future DevelopmentNTHU
1. Focus on continuing the research topics which research result has been shown and
reinforcing the research topic with potential to expend the function of cooperation platform.
2. Produce normal academic research plans every year. Narrow the scope of research area.
Expect this to be an early research of large-scale plan.
3. Increase the number of patent hold mutually between NTHU and ITRI by the cooperation
research result. Strengthen the arrangement of technology patent. Clarify the competitive
advantage and development direction of technology. Develop the key technology of
large-scale plan to touch the industry to increase the profit of tech-transition and the
derivative value of production.
4. Begin diversity interaction mode between people of both sides. By inter-employment for
professors and hiring students to work at ITRI to continue this program.
5. The labs and instruments are interoperable for both sides.
