Radiant Opto-Electronics Corporation, a Taiwanese manufacturer of display technologies, has signed a share purchase agreement with Inkron Oy, a Finnish manufacturer of advanced optical materials. Through the deal, Radiant will acquire 100% of Inkron’s shares from Nagase Group for ¥1.035 billion ($7.2 million). According to Radiant, the acquisition marks a step forward in the company’s roadmap to build a next-generation optical manufacturing platform. Founded in 2013, Inkron is known for its pioneering work in optical coatings and nanostructured materials, with core expertise in nanoimprint lithography (NIL) and inkjet-processable formulations. These technologies serve as catalysts for next-generation optical devices, including AR lenses, automotive head-up displays, and meta-optical structures. Since 2023, Radiant has implemented a “dual-engine” strategy — solidifying its backlight module manufacturing while developing in-house meta-optics manufacturing capabilities through strategic investing. Following the acquisitions of Nanocomp and NIL Technology, Radiant has established a comprehensive optical manufacturing platform that supports micro- to nano-scale processes, and in 2025 realized mass production of meta-lenses. By adding high-performance optical materials expertise, Radiant strengthens its position in meta-optical fabrication and enhances its nanoimprint manufacturing capabilities. The transaction is expected to close in mid-August 2025, pending regulatory approvals.
