AP Systems announced that it has been selected to supply Visionox with 8.6-Gen ELA and LLO systems, for its upcoming V5 8.6-Gen fab. AP Systems also revealed that it has been Visionox's exclusive supplier of LLO and ELA systems for its previous OLED production lines.
ELA, or Excimer Laser Annealing, is used to turn amorphous silicon to polycrystalline silicon - an important step of depositing LTPS backplanes for OLED displays. LLO, or Laser based Lift-Off is used to separate two substrates, usually a flexible Polyimide OLED substrate from its glass carrier.
Visionox recently announced that it has progressing with the construction of its $7.6 billion 8.6-Gen V5 AMOLED production fab in Hefei, and that the main building has been topped out. Visionox recently received a $412 million investment from the government of Hefei to support the company which is struggling financially.
Visionox begun construction of its new AMOLED fab on February 2025. The production line, when in full capacity, will produce 32,000 monthly 8.6-Gen substrates. The first line in this project will utilize a ViP maskless OLED production process. According to our information, the other lines at the V5 fab will use standard FMM OLED deposition.
