Touch Taiwan2016 debut, Taiwan: ITRI 36 new flexible display and touch technology

Taiwan region's largest touch panel event - touch panel and optical film process, equipment, materials exhibition (Touch Taiwan) on August 24th grand debut. Support the Ministry of economic affairs in Taiwan, the Taiwan ITRI from material, substrate, module, equipment applied to 36 soft touch display and display the construction of scientific and technological achievements, from "hard" to "the key technology of software required, provide industry complete technical solutions. Taiwan ITRI 24 in Touch Taiwan 2016 published a number of flexible display results of innovative research and development, and won the conference "Gold Panel Awards 2016" technical excellence award.

Cai Yingwen personally involved in the Touch Taiwan 2016 exhibition opening ceremony, the "Gold Panel Awards 2016 display element technology award", "Taiwan ITRI folding ultra-thin touch AMOLED panel technology won the" Excellence Award "by Cai Yingwen, director of the center for science and technology awards show Cheng Zhanglin to Taiwan / image.

As OLED is widely used in the mobile phone screen, Taiwan for ITRI flexible display application OLED next generation successfully developed a series of related materials, from the substrate OLED flexible display, successfully flipped to traditional inorganic materials, organic based non yellowing 350C soft transparent substrate, overcome OLED OLED high contrast reflective panel at thin circular polarizer, unclear OLED touch high density OLED water blocking oxide layer with high heat-resistant transparent filled folding layer material and provide perfect OLED panel protector and anti scrape ultra wear protective layer.

In equipment technology, Taiwan Taiwan manufacturers assist ITRI large area patterned equipment for integrated development, and by the Ministry of economic development A+ tempered plan grants, to roll on board (R2S) patterned equipment, large area coating equipment collocation slit precision control of coating thickness, and the development of key materials of soft mold resist light resistance and fill material, embossing, and large-area submicron mould manufacturing and electroforming technology, not only can improve the efficiency and improve the capacity utilization of materials, but also can provide a large area of submicron pattern application complete solutions.

In addition, according to the automation and testing equipment, engineering research center of the Taiwan also exhibited a "non contact resistance measurement module, by coupling the electromagnetic field and the material, a non-contact measurement of impedance characteristics of the tested object, can avoid sample damage, measuring speed, in high speed mobile. The advantages of measuring analyte impedance uniformity, can be used in the process of online detection. In addition, the semiconductor film thickness measurement equipment Film Chek AS300 "using the broadband light source and the interference film characteristics, measure the spectral reflectance, can fast and accurate positioning, with image preview function, can obtain optical properties of film thickness, refractive index and extinction coefficient, film thickness measurement by the maximum range increased dramatically tens of microns to 150 microns (m).

In this exhibition, the key technology of Engineering Research institute:

Organic research and development method of 350C yellow soft transparent substrate turnover material

It can be widely used in flexible electronics and high temperature resistant plastic substrates, Taiwan ITRI has developed a soft transparent substrate adding inorganic composition mainly, successfully overcome add too many inorganic materials are mixed evenly, high strength brittle, poor transparency, succeeded in making nano inorganic particles evenly mixed in the organic polymer materials, the products with strength, rigidity, heat resistance, transparency and other advantages. Taiwan / non yellowing soft transparent substrate has the advantages of high strength, light weight, resistance to 350? C high temperature, corrosion resistance, light transmittance, high durability and good dimensional stability and excellent performance, the comprehensive performance of more than a single material, further extends the scope of application in innovative materials.

High contrast thin circular polarizer

OLED panel color performance is quite brisk, but often due to the bottom of the metal electrode structure reflection, resulting in reading interference, as in the sun under the use of mobile phones can not see clearly. The application of thin material Taiwan ITRI coating developed circular polarizer, and attached to the outer OLED, can make the environment not only into the light, reflected light induced barrier environment, can effectively solve the problem of a substantial increase in the reflective metal electrode, OLED panel contrast. The thickness of the circular polarizer is only 30 microns (m), is the traditional polarizer 1/2 thickness, more resistant to up to 100 C process, through the 3mm curvature of the flexural test of 100 thousand, can be the first application in flexible products.

Folding anti scratch and wear resistant protective layer

Mobile phones are afraid of scratches will be posted on a protective paste, the traditional mobile phone plastic paste is not resistant to bending, can not be used in the future can be flexible panel or mobile phone. Application of wet coating method Taiwan ITRI (similar to paint), and UV curing method, developed resistance to bending scratch resistant super abrasion protective layer, to provide perfect protection for the soft panel. The technology process temperature of <80? C, has low production cost and easy process, in the future can be used in the optical film display can expand the application in the scratch coating building materials, furniture, 3C products surface.

OLED touch with high potential transparent transparent layer material

When OLED entered the flexible display application, water vapor and oxygen barrier of about OLED length of life, the successful development of Taiwan ITRI with organic material of high temperature resistant transparent fill layer material, only by ink-jet printing or screen printing 5-10 nano protective glue sealed film packaging on 10 micron (m) dust, can provide a flat surface hardening for the subsequent production of oxygen water blocking layer. Due to the high density and the surface is flat, the water resistance oxygen process only needs to carry on the 2-3 channel evaporation plating work, the sharp collar
