Dupont want to introduce a new tool that can help to protect the layers of an OLED Display with ceramics instead of glass.
Ideally, the material could move toward commercialization in a few years.
To date, moisture has been a major stumbling block for both OLED and CIGS manufacturers: water vapor seeps in and defects and malfunctions often follow. The moisture problem for OLEDs is probably a harder one to fix, said Doyle.
At the moment Dupont use Drylox cover glass, a cost-effective and versatile encapsulation alternative, which simplifies manufacturing, lowers costs and enables thin displays. A single component lid with integrated getter, Drylox effectively adsorbs moisture and other contaminants in flat panel displays.
