Researchers at Cornell University have created a new photolithography platform that enables the direct patterning of chemically sensitive organic materials with a proprietary photoresist material. By leveraging the existing infrastructure of the flat panel display industry, Orthogonal's resist technology will enable the use of large scale equipment to manufacture OLED displays with economies of scale enjoyed by the current generation of flat panel display technologies, LCD and PDP. This will allow the lowering of both capital cost for OLED display manufacturers as well as variable costs as they can move to larger panel sizes that are not achievable with conventional patterning techniques.

In addition to enabling OLEDs, many additional organic electronic materials may be patterned using our process, with virtually no restrictions on molecular weight (polymers and small molecules can be easily patterned), deposition technique or resolution requirements. If you have demanding patterning needs, let us know your requirements and we can work with you to make devices.
