Leading the Way in Display Technology

At Heidelberg Instruments, we are redefining the production of display technology, being at the forefront of precision and optical innovation. As a pivotal component in modern electronics, displays serve as the visual interface for a myriad of devices, ranging from smartphones to large-scale flat panel displays (FPD).

Advanced Photolithography for Next-Gen Displays

Our advanced photolithography tools enable precise patterning for pixelated displays by utilizing high-resolution photomasks. These photomasks allow for the accurate transfer of intricate patterns onto display substrates, ensuring seamless integration of complex designs. Through our direct writing techniques, we deliver unmatched precision, enhancing the overall performance and quality of next-generation displays.

Comprehensive Solutions for Display Production

Heidelberg Instruments’ cutting-edge tools play a vital role across multiple stages of display production:

• Large Photomask Patterning: Our VPG⁺ 1400 FPD Volume Pattern Generator is specifically engineered for large-format photomask patterning, supporting mask sizes up to 1400 x 1400 mm². This makes it an ideal solution for flat panel display masks of various generations (G4 to G8), using chrome on quartz substrates (1220 mm x 1400 mm). For manufacturers seeking precision and scalability, the VPG⁺ 1400 FPD sets a new standard in high-throughput photomask production for large displays.
• Large Area Halftone Photomasks: The VPG⁺ 1400 FPD delivers the necessary precision for the production of large area halftone photomasks for flat panel displays. The system utilizes advanced metrology and alignment capabilities, such as Cognex AI-based image recognition, ensuring precise alignment for multilayered masks. Linear and nonlinear corrections to its coordinate system enable good overlays produced over different tools.
• Achievable Display Layers: Our Volume Pattern Generators provide precision in CD and registration to be able to write a number of photomasks for layers used in different display technologies, including Color Filter (CF), Touch Screen Panel (TSP), Array, Fine Metal Mask (FFM), and more.
• Backlight Illumination Panels: Our Grayscale Lithography systems from the DWL production line enable the creation of 2.5D microstructures, including diffusers and microlens arrays, optimizing the efficiency and uniformity of backlight illumination in displays.

Enabling Future Display Technologies

Our tools support the development of next-generation displays with superior performance characteristics. These include higher refresh rates, larger sizes, greater energy efficiency, and advanced applications in extended reality (XR). XR applications, in particular, demand high-resolution near-eye displays, driving pixel design complexity to unprecedented levels.
