Vitex Systems announced that it has been awarded a research and development contract from the U.S. Display Consortium (USDC) to scale up its Flexible Glass substrate technology to roll-type manufacturing for producing flexible OLED displays.
Vitex has developed a thin-film encapsulation solution, called Barix, to resolve moisture and oxygen sensitivity problems common in flexible substrates.
Under the USDC contract, Vitex will explore producing the Flexible Glass substrate on a high-volume, roll-to-roll manufacturing line with the improved barrier performance and lower defect levels needed to meet stringent quality requirements associated with producing OLED displays.
