display technology

Light emitting diodes (LED) and organic LED (OLED) are characterized by compactness, long lifetime, high luminous density, and good energy efficiency. This development also revolutionizes display technology. By using LED as light source for today’s liquid crystal displays (LCD), more compact display systems with greatly improved energy efficiency and colour rendering become feasible. The next big step will be the replacement of LCD by OLED matrix displays. These developments lead to completely new design possibilities for lighting and display systems. For the knowledge workplace, this means moving beyond today’s screen-centric workplace.

The ultra-precise surface structuring by means of single crystal diamond tools can be applied for the flexible machining of optical components used in display or reflector-technologies, for light guiding elements or even for high precision mechanical or fluidical applications. By means of a sophisticated tuning of the machine, the tool and the process itself, an extreme precision in the sub-micron range, which is requested on behave of the applications, can be achieved on work pieces with a size of one square meter and more.
