STI Wins Phototrek System Order... "Entry into OLED Front-end Equipment"

[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunseok Yoo] STI, a semiconductor and display equipment specialist company, announced on the 16th that it has secured an order for Photo Track System equipment. The contract parties are Chungnam Techno Park and TORAY.

The Photo Track System equipment refers to OLED front-end process equipment that uses photolithography technology to create circuit patterns on the surface of display substrates. It is equipment that forms the desired pattern by applying a thin layer of photosensitive polymer material (PR, Photoresist), placing a mask on top, and exposing it to light.

STI's Photo Track System can handle not only the OLED process BP (Back Panel) process but also the TP (Touch Panel) process. By building these two process facilities at once instead of investing separately, customers can improve process quality and reduce equipment investment costs.

An STI official said, "This order is significant as it marks our entry into not only existing CF process equipment but also OLED front-end process equipment and touch panels," adding, "It plays a major role in expanding our portfolio to include display front-end process equipment as well as the existing semiconductor and display sectors, thereby enhancing the company's growth potential."

He continued, "STI will continue sustainable growth through its existing core products as well as newly launched equipment."

Meanwhile, Chungnam Techno Park plans to apply STI's Photo Track System equipment to the OLED PR process, and TORAY will apply it to the TP process and CF process to produce OLED BP and Touch panels.
