Dublin, Feb. 15, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Global Thin-Film Encapsulation (TFE) Market by Application (OLED Display, OLED Lighting, and Thin-Film Photovoltaic), Deposition Type (Inorganic ...

Thin-Film Encapsulation (TFE): A packaging technology that uses ultrathin barrier layers to protect sensitive organic electronic devices from moisture and oxygen-induced degradation.

Thin-film encapsulation is an emerging alternative for flexible device fabrication. Thin film encapsulants include aluminum oxide, tin oxide, titanium oxide, silicon oxide, and silicon nitride.

If the thin film encapsulation is damaged, the OLED is exposed to moisture and oxygen, and the life span of the product is drastically shortened. For this reason, ...

Where OLED panels typically use two glass substrates, hybrid OLED replaces the top one with a Thin-Film Encapsulation (TFE) layer. At the same time, the glass layer is etched to be even thinner ...

To do this, Samsung and LG would need to improve different aspects of the iPhone display hardware, including the thin-film encapsulation and under-panel camera hardware.

The second obstacle is the thin-film encapsulation tech. It protects the OLED from moisture and Oxygen. It’s developed by stacking an inorganic film and an organic film.

The new hybrid technology reportedly combines rigid OLED glass substrates with flexible OLED thin-film encapsulation (TFE), making the panels thinner than rigid OLED panels.

While it’s unclear how long it will take Samsung Display to improve thin-film encapsulation (TFE) and under-panel camera technologies, the company isn’t shy to reveal its latest discoveries.

A report from the Korean publication The Elec states that Samsung is planning to apply Color-filter-on-thin-film-encapsulation (CoE) technology to the Galaxy S26 Ultra, which will be released in 2026.
