Applied Komatsu Technology System Gets Grand Prize Award; Tokyo Flat Panel Technology Exhibition Chooses Latest AKT System for Excellence Award.KOBE, Japan--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 29, 1996--The AKT AKT Auto- ja Kuljetusalan Työntekijäliitto (Finnish Transport Workers Union) AKT Automatischer Kassentresor (German: automatic cash desk vault; used in german banks to secure money at counters) AKT Apprentice Knowledge Test 3500 PECVD PECVD Plasma-Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition system for manufacturing flat panel displays (FPDs) received the first-ever grand prize award for Advanced Display Technology of the Year. The award was administered by Display and Imaging, the science journal of Science Communications International, at the 6th Fine Process Technology, Japan, exhibition in Tokyo from July 3 to July 5, 1996. More than 23,000 visitors attended the exhibition. The system, made by Applied Komatsu Technology (AKT) Inc., was nominated from among many types of FPD (1) (Flat Panel Display) See LCD, plasma display, EL display, FED and flat panel display. (2) (Field Programmable Device) An umbrella term for all chips that can be programmed by the customer including SPLDs, CPLDs and FPGAs. See PLD. process equipment by the Selection Committee, headed by Dr. Iwao Oishi, professor of Electronics Engineering at the Tokyo Institute of Polytechnics. As part of the award ceremony, Dr. Hiraki Uchiike, associate professor of Hiroshima University, noted, "The AKT 3500 PECVD provides high uniformity, good film quality and higher throughput for array processing." Other recipients of the Grand Prize award were Hitachi, for super TFT (thin film transistor) technology in the display module division, and Fuji Film in the materials division. At the Fine Process Technology show, AKT exhibited its 3500-series process chamber modules for PECVD (plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is a chemical process used to produce high-purity, high-performance solid materials. The process is often used in the semiconductor industry to produce thin films. ), plasma Etch, and PVD PVD abbr. peripheral vascular disease PVD Peripheral vascular disease, see there (physical vapor deposition  This article or section is in need of attention from an expert on the subject.Please help recruit one or [ improve this article] yourself.

In a seminar presentation given at the exhibition, Mr. Tetsuo Iwasaki, AKT's president and chief executive officer, said that he believed the investment in TFT production equipment could increase from 1995's level of about $1.4 billion to about $2.4 billion by 2000. Applied Komatsu Technology Inc. is a global company focusing on TFT-LCD TFT-LCD Thin Film Transistor - Liquid Crystal Display manufacturing equipment, providing advanced technology solutions to TFT panel manufacturers worldwide.
