Thin Film Users Group Meeting in San Jose, CA

May 16, 2013

Zoran Misetic and Tim Pearce were guest speakers at the April 30th meeting of the NCCAVS Thin Film Users Group in San Jose, CA.   Kurt J. Lesker Company® sponsored the lunch that day and Zoran kicked off the afternoon with his talk on KJLC®’s Global business presence. It was interesting that two speakers during this program mentioned that they used KJLC Systems to produce thin films. Withey Gaynor from Sinovia Technologies used our OLED tool in Germany and also Mike Lu, who spoke about Commercializing OLED lighting, mentioned that they used a KJLC tool at UDC. Tim Pearce presented a talk later in the program entitled, “OLED Applications Technology Introduction with the K J Lesker ‘SPECTROS’ Organic Materials High Vacuum Thin Film Deposition Systems.”  About 70 members of this Users Group were in attendance.
