by The Editorial Staff
THE SID 2016 International Symposium, Seminar, and Exhibition (Display Week 2016) will be held at the Moscone Convention Center in San Francisco, California, the week of May 22. For 3 days, May 24–26, leading manufacturers will present the latest displays, display components, and display systems. To present a preview of the show, we invited the exhibitors to highlight their offerings. The following is based on their responses.
A Novel Laser Processing Solution for Transparent Materials
3D-Micromac AG, the industry leader in laser micromachining, will introduce its FSL™ (Flow Supported Laser Ablation) technology at Display Week 2016. The sophisticated machining strategy is perfectly suited for the generation of structures such as taper-free holes or even holes with negative taper and columns with rectangular walls in glass, sapphire, and other transparent materials. Typical dimensions of those structures are in the range of a few 10 µm up to a few 100 µm. The machining, performed by an ultrashort-pulsed laser, is stress-free and without thermal impact. The achievable wall roughness is ~ 0.5 µm (Ra). The FSLA™ technology opens up new vistas for the production of shaped holes and nozzles and surface modifications in display glass or sapphire.
