LG Display has developed a new OLED production method that eliminates the use of fine metal masks (FMMs), potentially improving panel brightness, lifespan and power efficiency.
Called FMM-less Innovative Pixel Patterning, or FLiPP, the process uses photolithography and precision UV light to pattern RGB pixels. Rather than using a fine metal mask to deposit OLED materials, the process coats RGB pixels in sequence and removes unwanted material through UV etching.
