It’s reported that Vitex, leader in thin film encapsulation and Novaled, leader in highly efficient long lifetime OLEDs, are going to combine advantages of the Vitex BarixTM thin film technology with the Novaled doping technology and materials targeting very thin and high efficiency long lifetime OLED products.
OLED is the major technology for the forthcoming new generation of Displays covering applications from the mobile phone to TV. OLED will also introduce a revolution in lighting while allowing innovative design. Thanks to this cooperation between Vitex and Novaled, the market will benefit from very efficient and very thin OLED devices. The majority of OLEDs are currently processed on glass substrate and encapsulated with glass for protection against air and moisture. The glass represents more than 90% of the device thickness. Vitex has developed an innovative thin film encapsulation targeting ultra thin OLED devices.
Jack Saltich, Vitex CEO said that Novaled is famous for its highly efficient OLED technology, Vitex BarixTM thin film encapsulation not only offers superior encapsulation properties but also enables innovative and ultra thin product design that conventional technology can not provide. Together with Novaled made they can offer the complete solution for new design form factors and energy savings.
Novaled holds world records for power efficient OLEDs. Their strategy is to provide complete OLED solutions around their Novaled PIN OLED™ technology. The cooperation with Vitex illustrates their company approach. Meanwhile, Novaled customers will benefit from the Vitex technology for their advanced design.
