Light up to make the size of organic EL TV difficult to make light, 40 inch model also possible to manufacture

High image quality, low power consumption, high moving image performance,Space saving that enables thinning of 3 mmAlthough it is an "organic EL television" which is considered to be a promising next-generation television next to the liquid crystal television, it has become a bottleneck of popularization, such as being difficult to scale up.

However, it seems that at last the medal of bigger size has arrived.

Details are as follows.
Hitachi Zosen, Corresponding to G4 compliance - Organic EL 40 type TV realizable possible: Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun

According to the Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun news report, Hitachi Zosen is developing a manufacturing equipment compatible with a large organic EL board.

In 2009, we will focus on the development of manufacturing equipment compatible with the 4th generation (730 mm × 920 mm) board, and by the year 2011 we will complete the manufacturing equipment for the 6 th generation (1500 mm × 1850 mm) We are proposing introduction to panel makers to realize a large organic TV of 40 inches or more.

In addition, the manufacturing equipment is a system that heats and evaporates the organic material while keeping it in vacuum and forms it on the substrate, and it has already been commercialized to the 3rd generation (550 mm × 650 mm) substrate size, but as the size increases, the heat Since there is a problem that the substrate bends because of such as, etc., it adopted a method of depositing from the side just by placing the substrate vertically. It also seems to aim to establish technology by comparing with the method of depositing from the upward direction etc etc.

Apparently it seems that the large-sized organic EL appears to be a long way ago ....
