Presentation Abstract

Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) thin film technology is uniquely suited for demanding Thin Film Encapsulation (TFE) applications in OLED displays. Encapsulation is needed to protect the devices from oxygen and moisture. ALD technology provides a robust and reliable TFE for OLEDs. We will present the latest developments in ALD for OLED encapsulation and industrial ALD solutions for OLED manufacturing.
