COMEDD published an interesting article detailing their current R2R research line. The vacuum deposition and fabrication of small-molecule OLEDs is made in the RC 300-MB roll-to-roll vacuum coater (supplied by Von Ardenne Anlagentechnik). This machine is capable of processing metal and plastic substrates (300 mm width). The article also details the encapsulation, inspection and defect-detection processes.
COMEDD (Center for Organic Materials and Electronic Devices) is now an independent Fraunhofer institute (it was established as a department in at the Fraunhofer IPMS originally). COMEDD's aim is to carry out customer R&D and pilot fabrication of vacuum-processed organic materials applications.
