Roll-to-roll, sheet-to-sheet, additive equipment, yield engineering and capacity economics — the tools that turn materials into products.
Roll-to-roll hits its stride as toolmakers chase flexible-backplane volumes
R2R equipment spending is rising on the back of flexible display and sensor volume. We look at where the tool orders are landing, and why registration accuracy — not throughput — remains the industry's hard problem.
