This enables the customer to manufacture optical films for the three most popular laptop display sizes: 13, 15 and 17 inches.
The rapid upgrade to the new T10 tool, which became available to order in late September, shows that the increased functionality of the new tool has been anticipated.
– Our technology will enable this customer to develop innovative solutions for displays, with possible benefits such as improved picture quality and reduced energy consumption, and offer them for integration in, for example, a wide range of laptop displays in different sizes. This will make the technology more attractive throughout the design and manufacturing chain. Over time, we thus expect that the T10 tool will generate more orders for our production systems, says TC TECH’s CEO Alexander Luiga.
In addition to the above-mentioned customer in Taiwan, other TC TECH customers and potential customers have also shown interest in the new T10 tool. The tool is now included as an integral part of the production systems offered in future sales processes.
