LOPEC 2023: Ushio presents excimer surface pre-treatment and UV LED curing modules

Ushio is happy to announce its participation at LOPEC 2023, also known as the Large-area, Organic and Printed Electronics Convention. To one of the world’s leading platforms in the field of flexible & printed electronics, the Ushio team welcomes you to Messe München’s hall B0, booth 509, from 28 February to 2 March. Our experts will be on hand to discuss our latest technologies for surface pre-treatment and UV curing, and the enormous potential it holds for industrial production steps.

At LOPEC 2023, Ushio’s primary focus will be its range of excimer solutions: pre-treatment methods of thin surfaces in the context of printed electronics.

Excimer is a vacuum-ultraviolet (VUV) light source for surface activation and cleaning, and can be applied to a wide range of materials, such as glass, metals, or plastics. In contrast to other methods, excimer irradiation is particularly precise, uniform and gentle. This makes it especially suitable for sensitive surfaces, such as capacitive touch sensors, flexible printed circuits, stretchable sensors, lab-on-a-chip devices, smart labels etc.

Typical applications are found in a huge range of industries such as automotive, consumer electronics, medical & healthcare, scientific and many others.

This polymer substrate was masked with a metal Ushio stencil then had excimer light projected through onto the substrate. When water is sprayed on to the irradiated surface, the water clings to the Ushio logo with a surface contact angle of 0 degrees.
When sprayed with water, the polymer substrate demonstrates the excimer activated surface on the unmasked area.

A second focus will be on Ushio’s UV LED solutions, which are suitable for precise, fast curing of UV-drying inks, lacquers, and coatings. We present our new UV LED high power unit UniJet iIV series as well as the iC series, which generates a high radiation dose despite its compact size and is therefore ideally suited for many space-critical curing applications.

Ushio's new line of UniJet UV LED modules
Ushio’s refreshed line of UniJet UV LED modules can be linked together to create the ideal radiation field for your curing applications.

Visit LOPEC 2023 hall B0, booth 509 to find out more about how your business can benefit from our technologies – our team is looking forward to meeting you!
