UV-curable metal oxide inks
Phosio is developing UV-curable metal oxide precursors, allowing deposition at ultra-low temperatures (as low as 150°C)—a significant improvement over sol-gel methods. PhosioLux® products are compatible with various solution-based deposition techniques, such as spin coating, slot die coating, and ink jetting, enabling rapid deposition at a lower cost compared to vapor deposition methods. PhosioLux® products can be patterned with direct UV exposure or techniques like nanoimprint lithography. This platform technology finds applications in transistors, OLEDs, MicroLED, and AR/VR devices.
expand your optical design
Phosio has developed ink formulations compatible with NIL that are UV-curable, nanoparticle-free, and have very low viscosity. Phosio has demonstrated the ability to strictly control film index by precursor design – film refractive index can be tuned over the range, 1.30 ≤ n ≤ 2.35. Phosio films have negligible absorption, exhibit very low haze, and have superior thermal and chemical stability due to the inorganic nature of them.
make your display durable and bright
Revolutionize the OLED and Micro-LED encapsulation with Phosio coatings, a faster and cost-effective alternative to conventional ALD. Unlike the slow and expensive ALD, our innovative solution employs the efficient solution-based deposition technique. Composed of fully inorganic materials, our encapsulation layers not only ensure robust mechanical and thermal stabilities but also significantly enhance display brightness. The high refractive index of these layers (n up to 2.35), compared to conventional organic polymers, improves the efficiency of solid-state lighting devices, making Phosio coatings a game-changer in display technology.
Enabling smaller Augmented Reality devices with a better image quality
Phosio has developed and patented novel inorganic UV-cured precursors that yield tunable and high refractive-index (1.30 ≤ n ≤ 2.35) structures with high optical transmission across the entire visible spectrum with no yellowing issue. The coatings enable manufacturing display waveguides with minimum optical losses, enlarged field of view (FOV) and higher efficiency, which directly translates to smaller devices with better image quality.
PhosioLux™ Products
PhosioLux® products enhance your design capabilities to meet the demands of next-generation technology. Phosio pioneers the forefront of optics and electronics by producing transparent UV-curable metal oxide precursors. Our innovative manufacturing process allows us to create thinner, more efficient optical components for various engineering applications, such as OLED and MicroLED, Augmented Reality, Lidar, and Biochips. The breakthrough lies in our ability to directly pattern these precursors with UV exposure and fine-tune the dielectric constant, paving the way for the next generation of transparent transistors in the semiconductor industry.
Phosio’s core competence is in developing chemicals and processes for low temperature manufacturing of metal oxide that are UV curable, transparent, and robust. The capability to rapidly prototype and characterize enables us to customize our materials and process to quickly innovate and meet industry needs. We have leveraged the Advanced Technology and Manufacturing Institute (ATAMI) at Oregon State University to enhance our capabilities for R&D in our two departments. Our synthesis department has a wet chemistry lab, spin coating, inkjetting, NMR, and mass spectroscopy. Our metrology department has spectroscopic ellipsometry, transmission and reflection spectrophotometry, profilometry, SEM, and TEM.
