Abstract

RGB side-by-side and white OLED with color filter are two major technologies to manufacture AMOLED. The skill sets and considerations are much different with AMOLED manufacturing in the factory than with technical development in the laboratory. In this chapter, we discuss the manufacturing process flow, production equipment design, OLED evaporation, and encapsulation technology for mass production. The resolution requirement of display is getting higher and higher, and RGB side-by-side of AMOLED, which uses fine metal mask, is facing a far more difficult challenge than the white OLED with color filter approach is.
