OLED Fabrication

(above)OLED growth system viewed from lab entrance. The vacuum thermal evaporation system in the center of the photo is used to deposit metal films. It is connected to chambers for the deposition of organic material and Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) through a high vacuum transfer tube behind the chamber. A nitrogen glovebox connected to the system can be seen on the left.
