FMM

At present, the potential advantages of "FMM free lithography technology", which is regarded as the third route of OLED, are mainly reflected in three aspects: performance, application and cost. In terms of performance, the technology route significantly improves the peak brightness, resolution, lifetime and power consumption of OLED displays; In terms of application, it breaks through the restriction of FMM on the shape of the display screen, allowing the screen to be designed as a free shape, which can cover the whole application field from VR/AR tiny size to TV and other super size; In terms of cost, it has solved the pain points of high FMM cost, long delivery time and high minimum order threshold, and has a new mass production advantage and low operating cost.

Given the above potential advantages, how will the "lithography" route affect the OLED industry?

In Xiao Yiming's view, the technology will become an important entry point for the expansion of OLED industry applications, and promote the AMOLED industry to enter the next stage. It can be said that it is a master key, which can solve the technical problem of the "blocked point" of OLED display from small to large size, open the channel, and achieve new breakthroughs and development.

"If the lithographic OLED technology is industrialized, it will accelerate the progress of OLED penetration into large and medium-sized applications." However, Hu Chunming also pointed out to reporters that the main shortcoming of the current Fmm-free lithography technology is the lack of mass production experience, and the necessary pilot test verification is needed.

"The promise of this technology is exciting, but it remains to be seen whether it will bring about a sea change." OLED display panels produced based on the FMM route have been widely used in smart phones, watches and other fields, and the production line is relatively mature, and the cost control is more advantageous." Geng Yi further explained that the technology is an emerging technology, the production line has not yet been put into mass production, in the process of mass production, production efficiency, equipment cost, yield improvement, material system exploration and other aspects remain to be further observed. "The successful commercialization of the Fmm-free photolithographic OLED route is expected to further expand the application range of OLED."

But at the same time, some industry insiders told reporters that the Fmm-free lithography technology is conservative, it is essentially a evaporation process, the biggest problem is equivalent to the current process extended three times, which will bring a variety of process losses, and yield is also a big challenge.

Among them, for Japan JDI eLEAP technology, there are suppliers mentioned that if you follow this production process, still using the coating process, almost every production of a color, you need to package once, and the packaging layer is polished and cleaned before you can enter the next set of processes, this frequent in and out of the evaporation machine process. The effect on the production efficiency, product yield and comprehensive benefit in real mass production is still to be evaluated. But at least eLEAP gives the industry a more clear process route, that is, the luminous layer can be achieved by the lithography process.

Talking about the future trend of different OLED technology routes, Hu Chunming stressed that large-size OLED technology routes - including evaporation, maskless lithography and printing have advantages and disadvantages, and the key is that enterprises should make their own strategic choices and have the ability to lead upstream and downstream cooperation in order to ultimately achieve the lead.

"The Fmm-free lithography OLED route will be a research hotspot for the next period of time, and with more companies entering, the technology is expected to be more perfect and mature." Overall, the current competitive pattern of the OLED industry will remain for a long period of time, and the improvement of innovation ability will be the focus and key of competition between enterprises.
