OLED project Phase II completed 
 
Asian display manufacturer grants final acceptance for Gen 2 OVPD(R) system 
 
*Herzogenrath/Germany, December 17, 2020* - AIXTRON SE (FSE: AIXA) today 
announced that APEVA, AIXTRON's subsidiary for OLED (Organic Light Emitting 
Diode) deposition technologies, received the final acceptance for its Gen 2 
OVPD(R) (Organic Vapor Phase Deposition) deposition system from its 
customer, one of the world's largest display manufacturers. APEVA's 
prototype OLED deposition system, which is based on the innovative OVPD(R) 
technology, enables a highly efficient deposition of organic materials for 
OLED displays. 
 
APEVA now plans to enter into discussions about the feasibility of a final 
qualification project (phase III). Such project would target to ensure the 
scalability of the OVPD(R) deposition technology to large area substrates. 
The decision for such phase III is open at this point in time. 
 
The final acceptance by the customer successfully completes phase II of the 
qualification project on the path to commercialize APEVA's proprietary OLED 
deposition technology. During this phase, the OVPD(R) system was effectively 
scaled up from a Gen 1 (200x200mm) laboratory system to a Gen 2 (370x470mm) 
pilot manufacturing system. The OVPD(R) OLED deposition system has been 
installed and extensively tested in a Gen 2 OLED pilot manufacturing line of 
the customer. The successful conclusion of the project confirms the 
potential of the technology for OLED manufacturing. 
 
AIXTRON's subsidiary APEVA is a complete deposition system provider for the 
organic material layers within the OLED stack. Its product offering spans 
the full set of key modules from innovative organic evaporation sources, 
deposition process technology as well as substrate handling systems and the 
required vacuum technology.
