Kateeva's Inkjet Printing System Wins Printed Electronics Award

NEWARK, Calif.– Kateeva’s YIELDjet^TM FLEX inkjet printing system was named the winner of the Technical Development Manufacturing Award at the Printed Electronics USA conference, held in Santa Clara, California, in November.

Presented annually by conference organizer IDTechEx, the award honors the most significant development of a manufacturing device process or production plant in the printed electronics industry over the previous 24 months. In particular, the award honors manufacturing developments that optimize the process of lab-scale or mass-scale production by improving productivity, quality, reliability, uniformity, or scale.

Kateeva’s YIELDjet FLEX system is a high-yield mass-production tool for the key organic layer deposition step in the OLED (organic light-emitting diode) Thin Film Encapsulation (TFE) market. Customers include the world’s largest flat panel display manufacturers located in Asia. It is reported to solve critical technical problems that previously made it economically impractical to mass produce flexible OLEDs.

"This is printed electronics in action, where inkjet printing is used to enable commercial consumer electronics devices today," said Raghu Das, CEO of IDTechEx, in a press release. "Kateeva has built a system that continuously provides uniform, reliable, and precise function required for the demanding display business."
