A new AMOLED Research Centre (ARC) has been established at IIT Madras with the goal of promoting the advancement of next-generation display technology. This plant is a component of India’s effort to improve its display manufacturing skills, namely for Active Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode (AMOLED) screens, which are utilized in wearables, tablets, and smartphones.
In an effort to strengthen India’s technical infrastructure, the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), and Tata Sons have partnered to support the ARC.
Modern cleanrooms with “class 100” and “class 1000” ratings may be found in the ARC, which is housed under the Department of Electrical Engineering at IIT Madras. It has cutting-edge fabrication equipment and a novel pixel patterning technology created by researchers at IIT Madras.
The center will do research on OLED TVs, OLED lights, and organic photovoltaic devices in addition to AMOLED displays. This is in line with the overarching objective of making India’s semiconductor sector self-sufficient.
The ARC’s main goal is to create innovative manufacturing methods that could result in more effective production procedures. The “economies-of-speed” idea, which seeks to maximize manufacturing times while employing reduced mother-glass diameters, is one noteworthy strategy being investigated. This could make it possible to create modular micro-factories, which would increase the scalability and cost-effectiveness of display production.
The market for AMOLED displays is expected to rise dramatically from its present valuation of $15 billion. It is anticipated that ARC’s inventions will establish India as a competitive force in this growing market, meeting the needs of both domestic and foreign consumers for superior display technologies.
India’s skills in advanced display technology will be strengthened with the opening of the AMOLED Research Centre at IIT Madras, which will encourage
