Heidelberg Instruments Reports Major Orders for the VPG+ 1400 FPD Volume Pattern Generator from Leading Asian Photomask Manufacturers

Date Announced: 07 Nov 2024

Heidelberg, Germany – Heidelberg Instruments has secured two major orders for its VPG+ 1400 FPD Volume Pattern Generator from leading photomask manufacturers in Asia, with a total order value between EUR 9 million and EUR 10 million. Deliveries are scheduled for 2025.

“These significant order intakes mark major milestones for the company, reinforcing our market position and driving further innovation and growth in the display technology sector”, says Alexander Forozan, VP of Global Sales and Business Development.

The VPG+ 1400 is Heidelberg Instruments’ largest system, specifically designed for large-format photomask patterning in the flat panel display (FPD) industry. It supports mask sizes up to 1400 x 1400 mm², making it ideal for various flat panel display generations (G4 to G8). The VPG+ 1400 sets a new standard for high-throughput photomask production, offering the precision and scalability required for large displays. Additionally, it delivers the accuracy needed to produce large-area halftone photomasks for flat panel displays.

Equipped with advanced metrology and alignment features, including Cognex AI-based image recognition, the system ensures precise alignment for multilayered masks. Its linear and nonlinear coordinate corrections further enable precise overlay across tools.

By addressing the diverse exposure needs of customers, Heidelberg Instruments' large-area VPG+ Volume Pattern Generators have proven to be valuable assets in display photomask production lines.
