Merck has opened a new production facility for liquid crystal window modules in Veldhoven, near Eindhoven, Netherlands. The investment of around € 15 million is a further step by Merck to expand its expertise as the market and technology leader in liquid crystals for displays by moving into other applications beyond televisions, laptops, smartphones, and tablet PCs.
Merck is the world’s first supplier of this window module technology, which in comparison with previous technologies, offers new application possibilities and regulation within seconds.
Deliveries to start in 2018
“This new facility is a milestone in our strategy to capture new attractive and future-oriented application fields for liquid crystals beyond displays. We recently started taking orders from customers for modules that will be ready for delivery as of early 2018. The industry interest in liquid crystal windows we’ve seen so far is very positive,” said Kai Beckmann, member of the executive board of Merck and CEO performance materials.
