## About

Based in Gyeonggi-do, South Korea, and founded in 2007, Nanobrick Co., Ltd. develops photonic crystal-based electrically colour-tunable materials that can express arbitrary colours by controlling the arrangement and spacing of nanoparticles using electric fields. In March 2024, NANOBRICK raised KRW 10 billion in venture funding from investor KPMG Samjong Accounting Corp. As of March 2024, the company is led by CEO Jaehyun Joo.
 
Nanobrick Co., Ltd. offers a diverse range of products across four key groups: In the Security Group, NANOBRICK employs its proprietary MTX technology to provide advanced anti-counterfeiting solutions. Products like M-Tag, M-Pac, M-Card, M-SecuPaper, M-SecuPrint, and M-Currency offer protection against duplication, benefiting sectors such as brand protection, document security, and financial solutions. In the Biotechnology Group, the company utilises superparamagnetic nanoparticle (SPM) technology to enhance separation and purification processes. M-Bead and M-PuriKit facilitate efficient extraction of specific substances, catering to diverse biotechnological applications. The Functional Group introduces advanced products like M-Paper and M-Skin, leveraging MTX technology to provide environmentally friendly stationery and magnetic field intensity visualisation, respectively. The Display Group showcases NANOBRICK's ETX technology, enabling the creation of dynamic display solutions such as EX-Ink, EP-Ink, and ET-Ink, which offer variable colour display, excellent visibility, and transmittance control. The company's active nano platform enables the creation of materials capable of changing colour, pattern, and transparency in response to external signals or stimuli. Leveraging the platform, NANOBRICK developed products such as the magnetically colour-changeable photonic crystal (MTX) material and the magnetophoretic display material (MPD) technology, offering diverse applications from colour-changing materials to environmentally friendly display solutions.
