microLED

Mini and microLEDs are known for being energy-efficient, durable, very bright, and capable of integrating with sensors. These features make them important for emerging technologies, such as AR/VR and advanced automotive displays. In this context, DELO's innovative adhesive solutions offer an excellent alternative to traditional soldering methods. The unidirectional conductivity of the adhesives effectively prevents short circuits, allowing for greater flexibility in printing mask designs. This leads to improved manufacturing tolerance, enhancing process stability and improving the precision of adhesive application.

  • Precision: Unidirectional conductivity prevents shorts and reduces damage.  
  • Efficiency: Faster cycles suited for mass production.  
  • Consistency: Dipping ensures even layers with minimal waste.

AR/VR/MR

No matter how the future of AR, VR, and MR evolves, one thing is certain: the devices must be powerful, compact, and aesthetically pleasing. In this context, high-performance polymers are essential, serving as adhesives or optical materials. With a refractive index over 1.9, they raise the bar for optical efficiency in diffractive waveguides.

  • Optical Performance: High refractive index (>1.9) for superior clarity and light transmission.  
  • Durability: Strong adhesion, UV and temperature resistance, and reflow-resistant .  
  • Efficiency: Quick fixation with minimal shrinkage and low outgassing.  
  • Stability: Low thermal expansion and high glass transition temperature.
