XMR takes AMLCD annealing to new 600mm X 720mm dimensions.FREMONT, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 5, 1997--XMR Inc., manufacturer of excimer laser A gas laser in which a very short electrical pulse excites a mixture containing a halogen such as fluorine and a rare gas such as argon or krypton. It produces a brief, intense pulse of ultraviolet light. systems, will announce its new AMLCD (Active Matrix LCD) See active matrix. annealing annealing (ənēl`ĭng), process in which glass, metals, and other materials are treated to render them less brittle and more workable. system, the ELA Noun 1. ELA - an extreme leftist terrorist group formed in Greece in 1971 to oppose the military junta that ruled Greece from 1967 to 1974; a revolutionary group opposed to capitalism and imperialism and the United States Revolutionary People's Struggle 9720, at the 1997 International Symposium for Information Display (SID) Seminar and Exhibition to be held May 10-16 in Boston. The new excimer laser annealing system is capable of annealing glass substrates with dimensions up to 600mm X 720mm. These significantly larger dimensions accommodate the annealing of six 13.3-inch panels, or screens, for notebook computers or four 17.1-inch screens for desktop monitors. Leonard Goldfine, XMR director of sales and marketing, said: "Typically annealing systems are developed in direct response to industry demand for substrate size, somewhat after-the-fact. Today, most systems are for substrates in the 370mm-470mm range. Our research has shown, however, that a huge demand lies ahead for a quantum leap to the next-generation thin-film transistor LCDs for advanced manufacturing in the 600mm-720mm range. We have this capability in the ELA 9720 and feel very confident in being able to stimulate this demand with the introduction of our new system." The ELA 9720 incorporates XMR's high-power, model 5300 industrial laser, a 200 watt xenon-chloride excimer laser which produces ultraviolet light Ultraviolet light A portion of the light spectrum not visible to the eye. Two bands of the UV spectrum, UVA and UVB, are used to treat psoriasis and other skin diseases. at 308nm. It is one of the highest powered, most stable excimer lasers commercially available today. XMR Inc. designs and manufactures production-level excimer lasers and laser-based systems. Its products include a powerful industrial laser, a semiconductor wafer laser annealing system, an AMLCD annealing system, and materials processing systems used in copper reflow (1) The process of heating and melting the solder that has been screen printed onto a printed circuit board in order to bond chips and other components to the board. Surface mount chips (SMT) use the reflow method. Contrast with wave soldering.
