New beam profile for 30% increased throughput in display manufacturing

Growing OLED Market

The sGauss beam profile has significantly steeper edges. UV lasers in OLED manufacturing can achieve up to 30% higher throughput. At the same time, quality and yield of the OLEDs increase.

With their brilliant colors, OLEDs have not only conquered smartphone displays. Smartwatches, tablets, laptops…

New LIMO Diffuser Technology: The two diffusers each generate a vertical or horizontal line. By overlaying the two functional surfaces, the laser light is shaped into a rectangular field with a steep edge and a user-defined size, e.g., 120 degrees x 25 degrees. (Image source: LIMO)

New wide-angle diffuser for LiDAR and 3D sensors

Laser lighting - safe and efficient

LiDAR sensors have quickly become a key technology for automated processes and especially for fully autonomous driving. To accurately capture the distances of the static and dynamic environment around the vehicles, the laser beam must be shaped into a light field with a defined field of view. The ne…

LIMO is the world's only company capable of manufacturing 300-mm glass wafers for the production of highly precise cylindrical lenses. (Image source: LIMO)

The edge length of the glass wafer, which can be simultaneously structured across its entire surface with the new process, was increased from the originally 35 mm (1.4 inches) in five steps to up to 300 mm (12 inches). Since the structured surface area scales quadratically with the edge length, while the processing time increases only minimally, LIMO has succeeded in reducing the production costs per mm² with each wafer generation.
