The Fraunhofer IPMS developed a new OLED deposition tool, specifically tailored to produce ultra high resolution OLED microdisplays. With this new equipment, researchers at the IPMS can thermally deposit complex organic stacks, metal layers, and oxides, with higher throughput and significantly improved process control, compared to their previous deposition tools.
The IPMS says that this new state-of-the-art system is industry-compatible and can be flexibly combined to meet the high demands of R&D project while also providing high efficiency for pilot production volumes. The new tool will ready for full operation by the end of 2025.
This new system was developed with support from the German Federal government (as part of the EdgeVision Microdisplay project, FKZ 03RU2U061C), and also the Saxon State Ministry of Science, Culture, and Tourism.
In April 2025, the Fraunhofer IPMS researchers developed an innovative high-voltage CMOS OLED microdisplay backplane that can support exceptionally bright microdisplays, and later presented a 0.62" SXGA (1280x1024) full-color microdisplay that support brightness of up to 10,000 nits.
