NexTech Solutions, Inc. and FAS Holdings Group, LLC, jointly doing business as "NexTechFAS," are pleased to announce that it will be exhibiting at the 4th Global Plastic Electronics Conference and Showcase in Berlin Germany from October 27- 29, 2008. During the conference, they will be featuring their Advantage Series extrusion deposition (ED) system and the NexTStar automated optical inspection (AOI) tool. NexTechFAS is emerging as a significant supplier for turnkey and custom equipment solutions in the fast emerging flexible and OLED display as well as OLED lighting and Photovoltaic (PV) markets. The company's products have been recently integrated into the manufacturing lines of Plastic Logic in Dresden, a developer of flexible organic active matrix displays and RPO in Australia, a leading manufacturer of waveguide technology for flexible touch screen displays.
NexTechFAS offers its Advantage Series Extrusion Deposition (ED) systems as standalone units or fully automated, integrated process lines designed to meet the unique requirements of the flexible and OLED markets. The integrated coating process line uses the patented FASCoat technology, a high-performance deposition method which maximizes material use to over 95% and offers extremely high throughput compared to competing deposition technologies. The Advantage Series ED technology offers a cost effective solution capable of depositing a wide variety of process chemistries, including tough-to-coat OLED and PV materials which are often deposited at submicron thicknesses with stringent uniformity requirements.
