Shin-Etsu Chemical announced to develop new process technologies that can be applied for the manufacturing of Micro LED displays


▲Micro LED chip connected by ACF transferred to the designated position on the circuit by excimer laser
Shin-Etsu Chemical announced to develop new process technologies that can be applied for the manufacturing of Micro LED displays.

The new process technologies were jointly developed with Dexerials and introduces innovative technology that will transfer singulated anisotropic conductive film (ACF) of Φ80μm or less onto the targeted location by laser equipment. Employing this technology, it becomes possible to transfer the singulated ACF only to the designated plate and mount the Micro LED chip on it and makes the repair process in Micro LED display manufacturing easy to carry out, a matter which had been a large issue up until now.

In addition, in order to meet the requests of customers for such matters as achieving further improvements in productivity and in the handling of a wide variety of chips, working in cooperation with two Shin-Etsu Chemical Group companies (Shin-Etsu Engineering and Shin-Etsu Polymer), Shin-Etsu Chemical developed ①SQDP-B Series, cure type donor plate, ②EZ-PETAMP Series, multi-stage dot-type large stamp (6 inch), ③Invisi LUM-X4, a 4-in-1 system that makes it possible to perform 4 processes using 1 laser, ④BM encapsulant film for Mini LED displays transfer equipment and transfer parts and expanded our products line-up.
