Abstract

Vacuum deposition technologies for organic thin films are described as an essential fabrication technology that has enabled today’s displays and lighting products based on organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). Fundamentals behind vacuum thermal evaporation are summarized, and requirements for fabrication of high-end OLED displays are presented. Key engineering and advances employed to meet those requirements are then introduced with examples.
