[INQ. NO. 1907E13] Recently, the numbers of young patients with presbyopia have increased due to their use of computers and smartphones over long periods. It is also believed that presbyopia should no longer be considered as a simple aging phenomenon, but rather as a new phenomenon brought about by the digital age. However, the technology related to presbyopia has yet to emerge globally.
In order to ease inconvenience for smartphone users with such presbyopia symptoms, a presbyopia-correcting startup Pixelro (CEO Kang Seok-myong) has developed a customized technology that enables users to clearly see their mobile phone screens according to their vision and distance between users and their phones.
Presbyopia Solution, recognized by Samsung Electronics
Pixelro was selected as an excellent task in June 2016 as part of Samsung Electronics’ in-house venture program “C-LAB,” and spun off as a presbyopia solution on November 1, 2017.
Pixelro currently consists of 10 employees: CEO Kang Seok-myong and two executives from Samsung Electronics, marketing, optical design, accounting, software, etc. Although it is a startup, it has a systematic working environment and its high technical skills are considered a strong point.
Pixelro has gathered together professional engineers such as optics, image processing, IoT (Internet of Things) and software to create new technologies for humankind.
With the goal of “Let’s make it possible,” Pixelro is constantly challenging itself to accomplish what everyone thought would be impossible. It has been acknowledged that its technology develops the presbyopia-correcting system, which has a higher penetration rate than the previous versions. Recently, it is currently developing a film that is used on a smartphone screen and an APP that can be adjusted automatically to provide clear screens suiting the eyes of people with presbyopia.
It is expected that Pixelro’s presbyopia solution will draw keen attention in overseas markets, as it has a wide range of applications such as car rearview mirrors and navigation. It is currently preparing for clinical tests on people with presbyopia and will showcase products under development at the KITAS exhibition in July and the China exhibition in November.
Privacy Case, First Launched in Crowdfunding WadiZ
Pixelro not only developed the presbyopia solution, but first launched its privacy case in South Korea’s largest crowdfunding, WadiZ. It achieved 100 percent of the target amount within just two hours and recorded 10 million won in sales within just one week.
Unlike conventional films, privacy cases can be removed and attached by combining film and case, and have privacy functions. It is an in-out type that protects privacy and smartphones at the same time, and is good for using a mobile phone without being watched by others in public places.
In addition to this, it has many advantages such as blocking blue light, strengthening glass, and excellent touch screen, and is receiving positive feedback from users.
“I have often heard that a presbyopia solution is impossible,” remarked Pixelro CEO Kang Seok-myong. “It is a difficult technology as it cannot be challenged, but we are on the verge of clinical trials as well as privacy cases.”
“We have been challenging ourselves to make the impossible possible, and we had a hard time failing in our projects, but we got closer to success step-by-step,” he explained.

crowd funding site, it achieved its successful funding goal in October and it continued its record move at Wadiz, a domestic crowd funding site, where it collected KRW tens of thousands within ten minutes of public appearance only.
It is the world’s smallest size of full-range driver. By using a special aluminum tympanum, it can replay full band high-quality resolution. The technology, which is to be patented soon, overcame the weaknesses of other existing models over external impact.
This supports the latest Bluetooth 5.0 version. Users can use it for five consecutive hours in spite of its light weight (6.5g) and small size. The supported charging speaker case enables charging three more times, thus allowing it to be used for up to twenty hours. And the user through the quick-charging function can use it for nearly an hour by charging it for fifteen minutes only.
For special sales, various types of mobile phone cases can be printed and formed in various styles, so the user can choose the product they most prefer among various kinds of mobile phones cases designed for nearly all kinds of mobiles. Under its own Koala brand, the company manufactures and sells protection films and peripherals for mobile phones.
The home fragrance becomes more personalized with Pium. Unlike a candle or a reed diffuser, it automatically provides different home fragrances following pre-defined schedules of each user. For example, it provides a fresh bergamot orange in the morning and lavender or cedarwood for better sleep at night.
Pium was designed to innovate the home fragrance experience. The connected device recognizes mounted scent capsules to optimize diffusing patterns and notifies a user with a new recommended fragrance list when the capsules are running low. The device is also connected to smart speakers like Alexa to control it with one’s voice. The patented scent capsule keeps the fragrance oils consistently fresh until the very last drop.

VH-80 really makes it easier when you have to repeatedly get down or move a ladder to travel across a space. With VH-80, you can just stay where you are, and be safe. Your smart device receives data from VH-80 through Bluetooth 4.0 in real time. All the measurements measured by VH-80 can be managed through our application called VH-80 M&S.
kinds of smart devices such as smart TVs , PCs, laptops, tablets, beam projectors, etc. This is called a smart multi-controller that can be remotely controlled by inserting a dongle – an external device to be connected to a USB port in order to support the Bluetooth function – into a smart device USB port. Anyone can use it easily by using an automatically created cursor on the display screen and clicking a button in order to execute a command.
If provides better grip feeling through ergonomic design by applying an UI/UX. It features a smooth feeling in use and response speed by a 4.2inch touch pad and 20 shortcut keys for functions of replay, volume, e-mail, direction key, etc.
In order to minimize the power consumption of the battery, the auto sleep mode is automatically executed if the check regarding use is not made within 60 seconds. It can be used for up to approximately 20 hours if ambient light is not used at the same time.
“Made with integrators in mind, our new easy-access packaging lets installers configure cameras without taking them out of the box,” said Paul Kong, CTO, Hanwha Techwin America. He added, “We have separated the housing and module containers, enabling installers to directly access the RJ-45 jack resulting in many hours of configuration time saved during larger installations.”
The PNM-9000VD supports 30fps image capture and true 120dB WDR (Wide Dynamic Range) without compromising frame rate for each of its 5MP sensors. For maximum adaptability, configurable factory focused lens/CMOS sensor modules are available in 3.7, 4.6, and 7mm for multiple fields of view that can be easily installed onsite. Hallway view aspect ratios are also supported for monitoring of vertically shaped areas. Each sensor has its own Wisenet 5 chip providing a full suite of built-in video analytics including loitering, directional detection, fog detection, tampering, motion detection, and objects entering or exiting an area.
