LG Display has revealed that it is currently developing the world’s very first TFT roll-printing technology that has the ability to replace the photolithography process. The all-new technology will be demonstrated by its developer at the Society of Information Display (SID) 2008 event.
Photolithography, which is also known as optical lithography, is a process used in microfabrication to selectively remove parts of a thin film or the bulk of a substrate. It includes an intricate set of processes, for which huge and costly equipment is a prerequisite. However, by employing the roll-printing technology rather than photolithography a lot of these issues are dealt with more effectively.
The roll-printing technology is expected to render manifold benefits, such as it would help cut down the material and equipment costs, clean room investment costs and also curtail the production time of TFT-LCD. And the best of all, it is an eco-friendly technology that reduces the use of chemicals used in the photolithography process to a great extent
generation, flexible display technology.Though LG Display ascertains that this new technology would power them in areas of cost and efficiency as compared to other company’s, it does not mention the consumer importance angle, which can only be lower prices of course.
As mentioned before, the innovative TFT roll-printing technology will be showcased by LG Display at the SID 2008, which runs from May 20th through 22nd in Los Angeles, California.
