Application of Air Filtration in Display Panel Factories

Display panel manufacturing (LCD, OLED, Micro-LED, etc.) is one of the industries with the most stringent requirements for air cleanliness, in some aspects even surpassing semiconductor fabrication. Due to the large panel size, even minor defects can cause an entire panel to be scrapped or downgraded, directly impacting yield and profitability.


Whalesens Technology has long been dedicated to air filtration and cleanroom control, providing complete solutions for air filters and AMC (Airborne Molecular Contaminants) control to help the display panel industry achieve high yield and sustainable operations.

1. Principles of Air Filtration Applications


  • Preventing particulate contamination: Avoiding dead pixels, bright/dark spots, and non-uniform display issues.

  • Controlling AMC molecular contamination: Including siloxanes, VOCs, acidic/alkaline gases, which can cause optical haze, corrode electrodes, and accelerate OLED material degradation.

  • Meeting ultra-high cleanroom standards: ISO Class 5–3, and Class 1 in certain critical process steps.

  • Protecting precision equipment: Reducing contamination risks for high-value tools such as lithography, evaporation, and CVD/PVD equipment.

2. Technical Pathways for Solutions



(1) Large-Scale HVAC Cleanroom Systems


  • MAU (Make-Up Air Units) and RAU (Recirculation Air Units) with multi-stage filtration (pre, medium, high efficiency).

  • Chemical filtration modules: Activated carbon + specialty adsorbents for graded removal of acids, bases, and organics.

(2) Terminal FFUs + ULPA Full Coverage


  • Use of ULPA filters (U15/U16/U17).

  • Creation of unidirectional laminar flow, rapidly sweeping away contaminants.

  • FFU deployment can exceed tens of thousands of units, covering core clean zones.




(3) AMC (Airborne Molecular Contaminant) Control


  • Integrated chemical filtration FFUs: Removing both particles and AMC at the terminal stage.

  • POU (Point-of-Use) filtration: Additional chemical filters for sensitive tools like lithography or evaporation systems.

  • Source control: Comprehensive management of building materials, equipment, and personnel garments.

(4) Equipment Micro-Environments & Transfer Filtration


  • ULPA filters inside process equipment, maintaining local cleanliness levels higher than the cleanroom.

  • Substrate transport carriers with clean air or nitrogen purging, preventing contamination during transfer.




(5) Testing & Maintenance


  • PAO scanning: Ensures no leaks in ULPA/HEPA filters.

  • AMC online monitoring: Using IMS, CRDS-APIMS for real-time detection.

  • Efficient maintenance system: Smart monitoring + scheduled filter replacement.




3. Outcomes & Value


  • Maximized yield: Reduced pixel defects and display non-uniformities.

  • Support for advanced processes: OLED and Micro-LED mass transfer require extreme cleanliness.

  • Product performance assurance: Improved brightness uniformity, color accuracy, and lifespan.

  • Process stability: Reduced environmental variability.

  • ISO Class 3–5 compliance, with localized ISO Class 1 in critical steps.




4. Challenges & Optimization Directions


  • High cost: Significant CAPEX + OPEX.

  • Energy consumption: FFU systems account for large power usage.

  • AMC control complexity: Multi-source, multi-path contamination risks.

  • Maintenance workload: Continuous monitoring and replacement cycles.




5. Conclusion
