Roll-to-roll, sheet-to-sheet, additive equipment, yield engineering and capacity economics — the tools that turn materials into products.
At a technical seminar on 8 October the company gave its first detailed numbers for FLiPP, which patterns OLED pixels by photolithography. No production date or investment figure was given.
The two companies told a Texas court on 8 October that both suits were resolved. Neither said what Samsung paid, if anything, after a patent-office ruling removed nearly half the damages.
The DRI is examining whether LG and Samsung paid 5% on OLED TV panel parts where 15% was due. The dispute turns on whether an OLED is just an advanced LED.
UVJC will unveil NovaJet in Shenzhen in October: a dry, solvent-free, maskless deposition tool that needs no substrate heating. No throughput or substrate-size figures were given.
The Swedish engineering consultancy becomes an IMSE engineering partner, giving TactoTek its first European design studio for smart-surface work with carmakers.
At SEMICON Taiwan, AUO showed glass core substrates made with Corning glass, and Innolux promoted a 620 × 750 mm RDL substrate made on repurposed G3.5 display lines.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurates the fifth edition in New Delhi. Organisers expect hundreds of exhibitors, though the published figures do not agree.
Eight speakers from European industry and academia, a free half-day programme co-organised with VDMA India, and a registration deadline of 11 September.
Print the circuit flat, thermoform it, back-injection-mould it, and a control panel becomes a single part. The idea has been sound for a decade; the forming yield is what has finally moved.
Roll-to-roll LIG lines are shipping as toolmakers chase flexible-sensor and supercapacitor volume — the manufacturing process shedding its lab-demo reputation.
R2R equipment spending is rising on the back of flexible display and sensor volume. We look at where the tool orders are landing, and why registration accuracy — not throughput — remains the industry's hard problem.
Follow the RSS feed or the Monday newsletter for manufacturing coverage as it lands — inline inspection, photonic sintering, equipment order books and the capacity cycles that decide who profits.
