Flat Panel Display Production:

Glass cutting is one of the important processes in liquid-crystal display (LCD) manufacturing. Glass cutting consists of two processes, scribing and breaking.  Scribe and break method for glass cutting is widely used to separate each LCD panel from a large mother substrate cell.

Fonon DSS has a patented method for the scribe and break process called Zero Width Laser Cutting Technology^TM (ZWLCT^TM). The ZWLCT^TM method incorporates cooling of the glass surface followed by controlled heating. Yield loss as a result of particulate damage is greatly reduced. ZWLCT^TM offers the most cost effective solution to operating costs, such as efficiency, and factory space.

Based on this new technology LCD production will be dramatically improved in terms of speed and quality. With this technology cutting speeds of one meter/second are normal and the break is totally clean. This process results in undamaged surfaces and high strength stress free edges. It is applicable to TFT LCD, OLED, LCD's, TN, STN, CSTN, TFT, PDP, VFD, E/L, FLCD, MD, PLED, LCOS.

The F470GF is the first in the world laser scribing system with simultaneous scribe and break capabilities. A state of the art new generation of glass scribing systems, it can operate as a standalone or a component for an inline system.  The system is based on Fantom™ technology and built from modern components allowing modular replacement and enhanced reliability.  The system does not have any external laser optics and does not require any field alignment. Direct drive 4 axis motion system and vision image recognition insures smooth integration into any manufacturing line.

Global TFT-LCD panel production capacity and the TFT-LCD supply chain are heavily concentrated in Taiwan, Korea, Japan, and China. FononDSS has distributors in this area to cover this market. Contact us to learn more about how we can make our machine work best on your application.
