JOLED Inc. (Tokyo, Japan), which develops and manufactures OLED displays, Panasonic Production Engineering Co., Ltd. (Osaka, Japan), a developer and designer of production equipment, and SCREEN Finetech Solutions Co., Ltd. (Kyoto, Japan), a supplier of various types of equipment used in display manufacturing processes, have concluded a business cooperation agreement. The contract relates to the development, manufacture, sales and service of printing equipment for the manufacture of large-sized printed OLED displays, intended mainly for use in TVs.

The UK-based Centre for Process Innovation (CPI) is working as part of a consortium to improve airtight bonding in OLED lighting for aerospace and defence applications. CPI is working on the project with lead partner Oxford Lasers Limited, alongside Glass Technology Services Ltd, Coherent Scotland Limited, Heriot Watt University, Gooch & Housego Limited, and Leonardo MW Limited.
OLED microdisplays are increasingly establishing themselves in consumer-ready wearables and data glasses. In order to meet the requirements for higher efficiency, higher contrast, and higher resolutions in these applications, Fraunhofer FEP (Dresden, Germany) scientists have developed a new micropatterning approach for OLEDs on silicon substrates. This might eliminate the use of colour filters and shadow masks in the future and allow full-colour displays to be developed by means of a new process. An increase in efficiency and considerably broader colour gamut have already been demonstrated in first experiments. The results will be presented at the Fraunhofer FEP booth and during the poster session at IMID 2018 in Busan, South Korea, on 29-31 August 2018.
