Emissive Displays: OLED, microLED, and Beyond – Technology, Devices, Markets
SID Mid-Europe Chapter Conference
Welcome to Goettingen, Germany, the city of 44 Nobel Prize winners!
Display manufacturing involves numerous high-precision processes performed in incredibly high volumes. Non-contact laser processing has proven to be the ideal solution for many of the most critical display fabrication processes – from LTPS backplane production, through microLED fabrication, to numerous cutting operations. Coherent is a well-established partner to major display manufacturers worldwide, delivering reliable systems with high throughput, exceptional performance, and unmatched value. Coherent in Goettingen has a significant contribution of lasers and optical systems for OLED and microLED display manufacturing.
SID Mid-Europe regularly organizes display-related conferences and meetings at selected hosts featuring technical and scientific presentations, attracting many display professionals from Europe and worldwide.
We are looking forward to welcoming you in Goettingen!
- Dr. Uwe Vogel and Dr. Oliver Haupt
