HÜTTINGER claims market leadership position in the flat panel display industry

28 million Euro contract makes it the world’s leader in critical coating processes for flat panel displays (FPD).

On February 22, HÜTTINGER signed a 28 million Euro contract with one of the world’s leading suppliers of flat panel display manufacturing equipment for process-enabling power supplies. This Japan based company provides the production systems used by almost all Asian manufacturers to fabricate LCD and Plasma displays for things like televisions and computer monitors. "Where ever you find a new flat panel display, most likely, HÜTTINGER technology was used to build it." states Dr. Dieter Pauschinger, President of HÜTTINGER. With this, its third consecutive multi-million Euro order, HÜTTINGER has now become the undisputed market leader for process power used in critical FPD coating processes. All this, in only two years, and in a market dominated by Asian players.

High power boosts flat panels
Today’s high resolution displays, with their stunning sharpness and clarity, depend on the precise deposition and selective removal of ultra-thin films. Performed in large scale vacuum chambers, HÜTTINGER’s power supplies create an electrically charged gas mixture, called a plasma, that enables these special processes. Manufacturers around the world trust HÜTTINGER’s technology and expertise for their most critical plasma processes.
