Different types of glass are crucial parts of display assemblies. As so-called “backplanes” they are situated behind the touch or cover glasses. Often the glasses used for backplanes have functional layers. These functional layers are typically applied in so-called large area coating systems. To achieve the best coating results it is desirable to cover areas as large as possible at once. Therefore, any separation, cutting, or forming processes should ideally be carried out at the end of the production chain. At this point, it is necessary to use a particle-free separation process that causes as little damage as possible.
Our lasers are capable of low-damage cutting of glasses coated with polymers (e.g. polyimide) or covered with transparent conductive layers (TCO). By using femtosecond lasers we can guarantee an extremely low-damage separation process – almost particle-free.
An additional benefit of laser compared to classical diamond cutting is the ability of hole drilling within the same machine.

As our laser process has been developed in-house, we can adapt it to the requirements of our customer’s production process. In addition, customization to the throughput demands of the customer is possible.
The optimized material flow in our systems offers the possibility to produce small quantities just as efficiently as mass production lots. Due to the short set-up times, our machines achieve low production costs per component.

Our systems for laser glass cutting are capable of processing all typical materials::

• CORNING (Willow, Eagle)
• NEG (OA10,11)
• ASHAI (AN100, WIZUS)
• Others
