Opto-Electronics & Systems Laboratories(OES)
- your high-tech partner
(A revised OES web site-with more information-
is under construction.)
The Opto-Electronics and Systems Laboratories (OES) of the Industry
Technology Research Institute (ITRI) was founded on July 1, 1987 as
the Electro-Optics and Peripherals Development Center, and later became
to OES on January 1, 1990. For the past fifteen years, OES has played
an enabling role in the development of Taiwan's opto-electronics industry.
With excellent R&D strategies and farsighted
vision, OES is becoming a world-class R&D institute
As Taiwan's foremost R&D institute for opto-electronics technology,
OES assists the government in formulating mid-and long-term development
strategies. By focusing on optical storage, data communications,
optical display and color imaging technologies, we established core
technology capabilities to support the growth of Taiwan's opto-electronics
industry. OES's sustainable growth lies with its continued pursuit
of excellence. With the introduction of the ISO 9001 Quality Management
Systems and ISO 14001 Environmental Management Systems, OES strives
to become a world-class R&D institute, helping Taiwan's opto-electronics
industry thrive in the global economy.
Technical and managerial talents - OES's
greatest assets
In a knowledge economy era, creativity and innovation are key to
future success. The five hundred-plus outstanding staff at OES with
years of knowledge and R&D experience lay the foundation for
OES's sustainable development. OES provides an open and creative
environment that stimulates the full potential of its members, allowing
them to excel and to perform their best.
The establishment of consortia, associations,
clubs and alliances extends the depth and breadth of OES services
The close cooperation in R&D among public and private sectors
has been a key factor in the economical success in Taiwan. In order
to enhance the interaction among government, academia and research
institutes, OES has been instrumental in establishing a long list
of consortia, associations, clubs and alliances. Thus far the list
includes: DVD Club, Secure Digital Memory Club, Digital Imaging
Alliance, Digital Imaging Printout Club, Taiwan Optical Communication
Industrial Alliance, Semiconductor Lighting Industrial Association,
The Optical Engineering Society of the Republic of China, Taiwan
Association for Magnetic Technology, and Opto-Electronics Semiconductor
Technology Development Association.
Reaching out internationally while keeping
our roots in Taiwan
OES fully leverages outside resources to extend its reach abroad
and participate international collaborations. Gaining access to
international research facilities enriches the technical resources
and broadens the research scope, thus enhances the capability of
local industry. Our partners include Agilent, the Ioffe Institute,
Aixtron, TI, Kodak, MIT, Cambridge University, and the University
of Illinois among others.
