Oerlikon wins Asian order for 200 vacuum pump systems
A well-known East Asian display manufacturer has awarded Oerlikon Leybold Vacuum the contract to deliver fore-vacuum solutions.
This multi-million Swiss Franc contract involves fitting the production line with around 200 systems.
"With this major order, we are positioning ourselves in the growing display and monitor application area and have once again demonstrated our expertise in processes and solutions," says Martin Fuellenbach, Segment, CEO at Oerlikon Leybold Vacuum.
Vacuum systems made by Oerlikon Leybold Vacuum are a key element in the production of what is currently one of the most innovative display technologies; AMOLEDs (Active Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diodes), which are used in mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets.
Apart from the increased colour and the improved black and white contrast, another major benefit is the new design options that these flexible and pliable displays make possible.
Starting in 2014, Oerlikon Leybold's vacuum technology will be used in the display manufacturer's standard production for applications including vaporisation, thin-film wrapping and transportation. Of particular importance to the manufacturer are the short cycle times, superior process performance and competitive operating costs of the vacuum system.
