The OLED panel market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 12.9% during 2020-2025 to reach 45.55 billion units by 2025. While there will be a slight downturn overall due to the effects of the pandemic, industry experts continue to expect OLED panels to be a significant display technology trend adopted across the world.
Atomic Force Microscope manufacturer, Park Systems has scaled up its AFM tools for Gen8+ and all large flat-panel displays which include the Park NX-TSH (Tip Scanning Head) system. It is the industry’s only automated Tip Scan Head for analyzing samples larger than 300 mm. “Park NX-TSH is designed for large and heavy flat-panel display glass and 2D encoders, with integrated microprobe stations for conductive AFM and electric defect analysis,” explains Keibock Lee, Park Systems President. “Park NX-TSH can scan up to 100 µm x 100 μm (x-y direction) and 15 μm (z-direction), and it has a flexible chuck to accommodate samples larger than 300 mm and heavier than 1 Kg—engineered for OLED, LCD and other large sample analysis.”
The Organic Light Emitting Diode Technology Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) technology is being used in an increasing number of application areas due to their ability to be flat, paper-thin and flexible, and diffuse light. Using conductive AFM, Park NX-TSH can measure the sample’s electrical properties by supplying current through the optional probe stations.
