Hansong Neotec Obtains Patent for Flexible OLED Process Technology in China... "Expecting Love Calls from Global Companies"

[Asia Economy Reporter Jang Hyowon] Hansong Neotek, a specialized company in OLED process equipment, announced on the 22nd that it has acquired a Chinese patent for delamination technology, one of the core processes in flexible OLED manufacturing.

According to Hansong Neotek, applying this patented technology to the flexible display manufacturing process can significantly improve productivity, raising expectations for love calls from global display companies including those in China.

The patent acquired by Hansong Neotek pertains to the technology for separating the polyimide (PI) pattern deposition glass substrate and the PI pattern film in the delamination process of flexible OLEDs, as well as the related inspection equipment. Through this patented technology, Hansong Neotek succeeded in drastically shortening the process of separating the PI pattern film from the PI pattern deposition glass substrate and moving it to the pattern optical inspection device.

Existing equipment often encounters contamination on the separated film during the process of separating the PI film and moving it to the inspection device. In contrast, applying this patented technology shortens the PI film separation and transfer time to the inspection device, preventing contamination on the film and avoiding pattern damage.

Furthermore, until now, the flexible OLED manufacturing process was discontinuous because the PI film separated from the glass substrate had to be re-inspected, which increased process time due to product return and lowered productivity.

On the other hand, the patented technology developed by Hansong Neotek eliminates the re-inspection process caused by pattern damage due to contamination, enhancing the efficiency of continuous inspection and reducing defect rates, thereby increasing the productivity of flexible OLEDs, according to the company.

A Hansong Neotek official stated, “This patented technology not only improves the manufacturing process of flexible OLEDs but also enhances productivity,” adding, “We expect continuous love calls from domestic and international global OLED panel customers and will strengthen related technical support.”

He continued, “Through continuous research and development, we plan to lead the flexible OLED laminate and inspection equipment market in the future,” and added, “Meanwhile, with the main business operating smoothly, we are making company-wide efforts to resume stock trading as soon as possible.”

Hansong Neotek has continuously supplied OLED equipment to global display companies such as BOE, LG Display, and CSOT based on excellent technology, including being the first in the world to develop a tensioner, a core piece of OLED process equipment.

Additionally, its secondary battery material specialized subsidiary, Shinhwa IT, is steadily continuing projects with several domestic and international battery companies. Hansong Neotek’s stock trading is currently suspended due to a refusal of opinion by the auditor in March.
