Deposition systems aid OLED research
Temperature controlled evaporation source deposits sensitive materials used in the research and production of organic light emitting diodes and solar cells.
BOC Edwards has launched a new temperature controlled evaporation source for depositing the sensitive materials used in the research and production of organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) and solar cells The source gives electronics manufacturers and industrial researchers accurate control of the temperature profile, and therefore greater control of the deposition rate, reducing wastage of material, and associated costs

Lead-free soldering station comes with free tips
MR Technical Services is offering five free tips with every Quick 203H 90W soldering station purchased before the end of July 2008.
OLEDs are a key component of next generation display technology as they allow for lower power consumption with brighter output and improved viewing angles.
The current push for sustainable energy is leading the development of organic solar cells and the BOC Edwards sources offer researchers a range of cost-effective options for the development of these devices.
Available in two sizes, with 2 or 4cm2 charge capacity, the source body contains a heating element, a temperature sensor and an interchangeable crucible.
Operation is by either a single-channel or four-channel source controller, which uses temperature ramps and self-tuning control loops to allow users to accurately and easily define the source temperature profile.
The controllers operate the sources between 50 and 600C with an accuracy of +/-0.1C.
The sources, controllers and mounting hardware are available as packages which can be specified for new or existing BOC Edwards deposition systems.
A comprehensive range of crucible options is available to complement the sources.
