OLED, MicroLED, and Beyond: Highlights from SID Mid-Europe Chapter Conference
The Society for Information Display’s (SID’s) Mid-Europe Chapter organized a two-day conference at Goettingen in Germany under the theme ‘Emissive Displays: OLED, MicroLED, and Beyond – Technology, Devices, Markets’. The event was hosted by Coherent and included a tour of the clean room where Coherent manufactures its laser annealing systems for LTPS display backplanes. While the industry has historically focused on Gen6 substrates, Coherent is now shipping Gen8 systems that enable the production scale-up of OLED panels for IT applications. Panel makers can choose between an excimer laser system or the newer solid-state PYTHON system. For MicroLED displays, Coherent has also developed a laser mass transfer technology that can work with a wide range of MicroLED chip sizes.
