Manufacturing Methods and Engineering for TFT Addressed Display.
Abstract
This is the second quarterly report on Contract DAAB07-76-C-0027; Manufacturing Methods and Technology Evaluation for the fabrication of a thin film transistor based solid state display panel. Progress in all scheduled tasks was made this quarter; the fabrication of the engineering samples (ES) through the use of a dedicated mask system is proving troublesome because of material interactions consequent upon the use of the laboratory fabrication unit. Initial tests indicate that this specific problem will not be a factor in the pilot manufacturing machine. Displays were made in the ES format with an X-Y mask system. They had a similar thin film material layout to the pilot unit's requirements. The overall quality level was reasonably good and initial tests indicate the display should meet the required specifications. The computer controlled pilot manufacturing unit is operating at overall satisfactory levels and good progress at reducing the level of elemental short circuits was made. All the tooling to make the displays on this unit is now ready and first complete displays from the pilot line are expected soon. (Author)
