Mycronic receives order for the new developed Prexision-80 mask writer

Täby, 8 September, 2014 - Mycronic AB (publ), has received order for a Prexision-80 (P-80) mask writer for display applications from a customer in Asia.

The P-80 mask writer, which was launched earlier this year, offers improvement in image quality. The machine is based on the field proven Prexision platform and provides a number of new technical features to facilitate higher performance, which improves production efficiency for mask makers and enables manufacturing of future display products. The P-80 is developed for a cost-effective production of the most advanced photomasks and will replace the P-8 as the most advanced mask writer.

“Mask makers as well as display makers are increasingly challenged to produce the most advanced products. With a continued trend towards higher resolution displays among others, mask complexity will continue to evolve. We have developed a new mask writer to meet these requirements and we have now received the first order,” says Magnus Råberg, Sr VP and General Manager Pattern Generators, of Mycronic AB. “The new features offered by the P-80 compared to its predecessor translate into higher yield at the mask maker, as well as at the display maker, through a significantly improved writing quality and by that a higher accuracy in production planning.”

The machine is scheduled for delivery during the first quarter 2015, which means the company’s assessment for sales in 2014, in the span of of SEK 1,150 -1,250 million, remains.
