Cambridge Display Technology has announced the sale of a sophisticated Eclipse display test system to Merck OLED Materials GmbH, based in Frankfurt, Germany. The equipment will be used to enhance productivity in the development and evaluation of materials for organic light emitting diode displays.
The Eclipse system to be supplied to Merck consists of 192 digital source-measure channels and associated hardware and software, some of which has been customized for Merck's particular requirements. In particular, the system has been adapted for use at high temperatures and glove box operation.
Eclipse test equipment is specially designed for testing a broad range of emissive display devices and allows their rapid and reliable characterization, including measurement of lifetime under constant current, voltage or luminance conditions. In addition to its role in enhancing materials development programs, the equipment is invaluable for device architecture optimization, reliability testing and drive scheme development.
For CDT, Dr. David Fyfe, CEO said: "We are delighted that Merck has chosen to purchase another CDT test system, and expect that this will lead to even greater productivity in the development and supply of OLED materials."
For Merck, Dr. Horst Vestweber, Project Manager said: "We believe strongly in the future for OLEDs as a major display technology, and this enhancement to our capability will enable us to make the fastest progress in our development programs."
