These systems, which are designated for delivery during 2005 to Quanta Display’s new Gen 6 fabrication facility, are in addition to the existing number of Orbotech systems currently utilized by the manufacturer for the production of in-demand thin film transistor liquid crystal display (TFT-LCD) products such as televisions, laptops, desktop monitors and PDAs.
This latest Gen 6 solution will incorporate Orbotech’s new approach of total yield management, in which results data from the AOI system is transformed into comprehensive yield information by the integrated EYES-2020 software to assist in continuous manufacturing process improvement.
Quanta Display, Inc. is a long-time customer and the first to implement our in-line inspection concept for improved efficiency in their manufacturing process, said Mr Eitan Oppenhaim, vice president of Orbotech’s Display Asia Pacific Division.
In addition, we are honored that QDI has signed an agreement with us to participate in the joint R&D of a new capability that will assist in the further automation of the LCD production process. We expect this will greatly contribute to reduced manufacturing costs and enhanced operational efficiency as glass sizes continue to grow, Oppenhaim concluded.
