We report on Organic Vapor Phase Deposition $(OVPD^{(R)})$ an innovative deposition technology for organic light emitting device (OLED) and organic semiconductor manufacturing. The combination of $OVPD^{(R)}$ with Close Coupled Showerhead (CCS) technology results in manufacturing equipment with vast potential for cost effective manufacturing of OLED displays commercially competitive to LCD. The actual $OVPD^{(R)}$ equipment concept and design is discussed: Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) modeling is compared with experimental results proving the excellent controllability of the deposition process. Further other production relevant deposition properties are being reviewed e.g. high deposition rates and high organic material utilization efficiency of the $OVPD^{(R)}$ - Technology. Data from devices made by $OVPD^{(R)}$ show comparable/ superior performance to those fabricated with conventional vacuum thermal evaporation (VTE) techniques. An outlook on further potentials of $OVPD^{(R)}$ with respect to enabling advanced organic device structures is given.

Thin-film photosensors on organic light emitting diode (OLED) glass substrates using active-matrix OLED TFT manufacturing processes have been constructed and optimized, and their performance has been characterized. Suitable control circuitry and applications are proposed. The photosensors may be integrated into OLED displays for detection of ambient illumination and for detection of OLED light emission, thereby enabling output, uniformity, and aging compensation.

An OLED(Organic Light-Emitting Diode) device based on the emissive electroluminescent layer a film of organic materials. OLED is used for many electronic devices such as TV, mobile phones, handheld games consoles. ULVAC's mass production systems are indispensable to the manufacturing of OLED device. ULVAC is a manufacturer and worldwide supplier of equipment and vacuum systems for the OLED, LCD, Semiconductor, Electronics, Optical device and related high technology industries. The SMD Series are single-substrate sputtering systems for deposition of films such as metal films and TCO (Transparent Conductive Oxide) films. ULVAC has delivered a large number of these systems not only Organic Evaporating systems but also LTPS CVD systems. The most important technology of thin-film encapsulation (TFE) is preventing moisture($H_2O$) and oxygen permeation into flexible OLED devices. As a polymer substrate does not offer the same barrier performance as glass substrate, the TFE should be developed on both the bottom and top side of the device layers for sufficient lifetimes. This report provides a review of promising thin-film barrier technologies as well as the WVTR(Water Vapor Transmission Rate) properties. Multilayer thin-film deposition technology of organic and inorganic layer is very effective method for increasing barrier performance of OLED device. Gases and water in the organic evaporating system is having a strong influence as impurities to OLED device. CRYO pump is one of the very useful vacuum components to reduce above impurities. There for CRYO pump is faster than conventional TMP exhaust velocity of gases and water. So, we suggest new method to make a good vacuum condition which is CRYO Trap addition on OLED evaporator. Alignment accuracy is one of the key technologies to perform high resolution OLED device. In order to reduce vibration characteristic of CRYO pump, ULVAC has developed low vibration CRYO pumps to achieve high resolution alignment performance between Metal mask and substrate. This report also includes ULVAC's approach for these issues.

We will discuss encapsulation of OLEDs on both flexible and rigid glass substrates. Accelerated testing at 6CC/90RH and 85C/85RH is compared and acceleration factors for OLED and Calcium test samples are discussed.We have tested the stability and performance of our barrier coating to much higher temperatures: up to 140 C. Water Vapor Transmission rates at temperatures from 60 to 140 C are presented. Rates and methods for low cost manufacturing on a large scale are analysed

We introduce the inline type mass production tool for the large size lighting OLEDs and flexible OLEDs. The manufacturing tool includes the linear belt source what is new concept for the organic deposition processes and the deposition operation combines directly to the encapsulation operation in a tool. The linear belt source evaporation in deposition processes is performed during the substrate transferring to innovatively improve the productivity in manufacturing.

Numbers of studies related to optimization of design of organic light emitting diodes(OLED) through machine learning are increasing. We propose the generative method of the image to assess the performance of the device combining with machine learning technique. Principle parameter regarding dark spot growth mechanism of the OLED can be the key factor to determine the long-time performance. Captured images from actual device and randomly generated images at specific time and initial pinhole state are fed into the deep neural network system. The simulation reinforced by the machine learning technique can predict the device parameters accurately and faster. Similarly, the inverse design using multiple layer perceptron(MLP) system can infer the initial degradation factors at manufacturing with given device parameter to feedback the design of manufacturing process.

The subject of the simultaneous measuring system of base pattern and deposition pattern is a new research topic on a defect inspection of OLED. In this paper, we propose a new OLED inspection method that simultaneously measures standard and deposition pattern images. This method reduces unnecessary processes and tac time during OLED inspection. For an additional reduction of the tac time during pattern measurement, the ROI was configured to measure only in the designated ROI area instead of measuring the entire area of an image. During the ROI set-up, the value of effective deposition pattern area is included so that if the deposition pattern is out of the ROI zone, it would be treated as a defect before measuring the size and center point of the pattern. As a result, the tac time and inspection process could be shortened. The proposed method also could be applied to the OLED manufacturing process. Production of OLED could be increased by reducing tac time and inspection process.

Recently, in the manufacturing process of flat panel displays, mass production methods of inline system has been emerged. In particular the next generation OLED display manufacturing process, horizontal inline evaporation process has been tried. It is important for the success of OLED inline evaporation process to develop a magnetic levitation transport system capable of transferring a carrier equipped with a mother glass with high accuracy without any physical contact along the rail under vacuum condition. In the case of existing wheel-based transfer system, it is not suitable for OLED evaporation process requiring high cleanliness. On the other hand, the magnetic levitation transport system has an advantage that it does not generate any dust and it is possible to achieve high-precision control because there are not non-linear factors such as friction force. In this paper, we introduce the high-precision magnetic levitation transport system, which is currently under development, for OLED evaporation process.
