LPKF Laser & Electronics has concluded a joint development agreement for a glass processing technology with a major global display enterprise.
The companies have agreed not to disclose details of the agreement.
The two firms seek to further optimise a specific solution enabling future display devices.
If the development is successfully completed, LPKF expects the technology to be widely used in various applications for the enterprise.
The Ophir F80(120)A-CM-17 thermal sensor can measure high repetition rate lasers with very short pulses in the nano, pico, and femtosecond ranges
NKT Photonics has added extra features to its Origami XP femtosecond laser series to make it an even better choice for industrial OEM and research applications such as display, medical-device, and electronic manufacturing
The microCETI platform supports all laser processes in microLED display manufacturing with the high throughput and precision, and low cost of ownership, needed for volume production requirements
The new laser is ideal for structuring and ablating thin films in displays and photovoltaics, trimming of micro-resistors and capacitors, and high-contrast marking of medical devices, plastics and glass.
The firm now offers 20W, 40W and 80W versions of its Carbide laser
