Robust cutting technology for flexible thin glass (< 100 µm) and thin glass-polymer laminates with elevated edge quality (smooth, no chipping, good edge strength) to obtain bendable elements.
Details of the Technology Call
Glass rolls with about 20 m length and a thickness of 50 -100 µm are laminated with an adhesive tape. These thin glass-adhesive tape laminates are used to build glass-glass-encapsulated OLEDs in a roll-to-roll process. The next step for commercialization is to separate the roll into single functional elements. The combination of thin glass film and adhesive tape would deliver a perfect whole-in-one solution for the encapsulation of water sensitive organic materials.
To keep the bendability, the cutting process has to be very accurate and the resulting glass edge free of defects.
