Trovato

Trovato logoUS-based Trovato Mfg was established in 1989 to develop and produce vacuum systems and solutions for thin-film deposition for the opto-electronics research market. Trovato has been making OLED R&D systems and delivered its first one in 1989.

Trovato's systems have been mostly used for materials and device stack research, but the company also offers complete OLED display and lighting production systems, solution processing equipment and more.

ULVAC

ULVAC, based in Japan and founded in 1952 is an international corporation that designs, manufacturers and markets equipment and materials for industrial applications of vacuum technology.

Ulvac is active in flat-panel displays, including LCD and OLED systems, offering several R&D and production systems.

 

UniJet

UniJet logoKorea-based UniJet develops and produces industrial inkjet printing systems for electronic material deposition. The company's systems are used in a wide range of markets, including displays (LCDs, PDP and OLEDs), solar cells, RFID, micro lens and more.

For the OLED market, UniJet offers 2-Gen R&D systems, for the deposition of OLED emission layers or for TFE deposition. In December 2021 it was reported that UniJet sold its first commercial TFE system (to China's Sidtek).

 

V-Technology

V-Technology logoEstablished in 1997 in Japan, V-Technology develops and provides production systems for the display, solar and LED industries.

For display production, V-technology offers exposure systems, color filter processes and polarization film production systems. In 2018 V-technology announced it is establishing an organic electronics business facility in Yonezawa, Yamagata Prefecture, to develop a fine hybrid mask technology for next-generation OLED deposition.

In 2018 V-Technology announced it is acquiring Lumitoec, an OLED lighting developer established in 2008 by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, ROHM, Toppan Printing and Mitsui.

Vactec

Vactec logoHolland-based Vactec designs and supplies thin film deposition systems and components.

For the OLED market, the company offers an evaporation system (COAT340) suitable for OLED R&D work.

Veeco

Veeco Instruments is making process equipment for several markets. The company's main business segments are LEDs, PVs and data storage. For the display market Veeco provides Metal Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition (MOCVD) equipment and Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE) products (the company's MBE systems can also be used to deposit graphene).

Veeco is providing OLED processing equipment for several customers including LG. In September 2013 Veeco bought Flexible-OLED FAST-ALD encapsulation equipment maker Synos, Reportedly, Samsung evaluated the FAST-ALD system but it appears that Veeco since abandoned the technology for this market.

Vinci Technologies

Vinci Technologies logoVinci Technologies, based in France, specializes in the design, manufacturing and marketing of instrumentation for the high vacuum and oil & gas industries.

For the OLED industry, Vinci Technologies offers two thin film deposition tools, the PVD-10 and PVD-20. These evaporators use thermal or organic sources.

Vinci also offers a unique process control tool for the screening of barrier materials. This UHV system (the QHV-4 Rapid Helium Permeameter) is used to evaluate the barrier improvement factor during processing.

Xaar

Xaar logoXaar Plc is a manufacturer of piezo-based drop-on-demand inkjet technologies. The company supplies inkjet print heads and related components and development systems - for a wide range of industries and applications such as FPD, optics and lighting.

XTPL

XTPL logoXTPL develops and markets ultra-precise nanomaterials printing equipment. The company developed an additive printing methods with unprecedented precision (structures width 1-8 micrometres) and without a need to use electric field.

XTPL is focused commercialization of its technology in the flat panel display sector, including systems for OLED material printing.

YAS

YAS logoYAS (Your Artistic Solution, formerly Yonsei Atomic Scale surface science, was established in 1992 with an aim to become an OLED production equipment maker. The company offers industrial-scale OLED deposition systems and is also developing ink-jet printing processes and solar-cell production equipment.

YAS supplied Gen-8 OLED deposition equipment for LGD's OLED TV fabs, and in February 2017 it was reported that YAS is collaborating with LG Display to develop 10-Gen OLED TV WRGB deposition systems.
