Multimillion Euro display deal signed
The production of flexible displays requires the ability to support flexible substrates, such as plastic, which lack the mechanical and thermal stability typically afforded by glass substrates.
EV Group (EVG) has received a multimillion-Euro order from a European plastic electronics manufacturer for the high-volume production of flexible displays The order will be installed at the customer's facility between now and mid-2008 and used in the development of flexible display modules used within thin, light and robust consumer electronics products, such as portable electronic readers

As a result, the fabrication of flexible displays places strict demands on processing equipment.
EVG addresses these challenges with its advanced processing systems, which provide special handling capabilities for processing fragile substrates in varying size and thickness.
High uptime and ease of maintenance contribute to increased performance and yield.
Moreover, the tools' ability to produce highly uniform coats at low material usage and improved repeatability equate to a low cost of ownership.
EVG reports that all of these advantages and performance capabilities, coupled with its comprehensive 24/7 service and support infrastructure, were critical factors behind this order win.
Commenting on today's announcement, Erich Thallner, CEO and founder of EVG, noted, "We're constantly looking at new opportunities and markets that will let us leverage our proven workhorse technology to enter promising new markets".
"The flexible display market continues to make significant strides and EVG is proud to be at the forefront of helping drive this technology into mainstream adoption".
"Today's order is testament to our ability to help customers reduce the time and cost it takes to get products to market by delivering highly integrated systems and customised solutions that allow them to realise significant growth opportunities".
"Moreover, it shows the value of R and D collaboration and how, by working in tandem with customers and other industry partners, we can move from vision to market fruition -- quickly and more cost-effectively".
