A Closer Look at Laser Solutions for Display Manufacturing – Now, Next, and Beyond

Displays are our window into the connected world. Nearly every consumer device today has a display. Lasers play an essential role to produce state-of-the-art displays especially when it comes to high-end high-resolution displays. Today we are talking mainly about OLED displays for smart phones, next will be the adoption of OLED displays in the IT sector, and beyond there is an incremental market opportunity for MicroLED displays from the very small range in AR to the very large 4K TV market. Over the last years more and more UV short wavelengths lasers are implemented and required in the production due to the display material combinations, increase of active display areas, and pixel sizes down to the Micron level.
