TOYO Corporation Unveils Innovative Ion Impurity Measurement System

The patent-pending LT1000, supporting broad applications including
organic light-emitting diode (OLED) and smart window component analysis
for the display industry, will revolutionize measurement workflows

LOS ANGELES–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Display Week 2018 – TOYO Corporation, the leading test and
measurement company, today announced the new LT1000 Ion Impurity
Measurement System, the first laboratory instrument able to characterize
and quantify both organic and inorganic ion impurity in liquid-based
substances. The product is the culmination of over twenty years of
liquid crystal display (LCD) measurement research and development work
carried out by TOYOÔÇÖs engineering teams. The LT1000 provides measurement
performance, testing accuracy and material type support that far exceeds
any other solution available in the marketplace.

Existing impurity measurement methods are based on a chemical analysis
approach. They are designed to measure only impurity and operate only on
inorganic materials. The LT1000 probes organic and inorganic materials
by measuring their ion impurity, the most accurate and reliable
measurement method known. This ability paves the way for the testing of
newer sample types that feature organic materials. Hence, the instrument
can be used to not only test critical LCD components and subcomponents
but also OLED ones relied upon by the display industry.

Unlike some other techniques which measure in the parts per million
(ppm) range, the LT1000 measures in the parts per trillion (ppt) range,
providing for a million times better resolution.

The LT1000 also outclasses other solutions in performance. It can
conduct a complete measurement cycle in less than a second. In
comparison, traditional approaches can take upwards of 30 minutes. The
LT1000 is more than 1,800 times faster. In a lab setting, this
translates to accelerated research and development workflows. In a
production and manufacturing environment, the LT1000 makes high-volume
testing possible.

Key Advantages

• High Sensitivity: Detect even the lowest concentration of ion
  impurity
• Versatile: Supports quantitative organic and inorganic ion
  impurity measurement
• Performance: Extremely fast measurement cycles; less than one
  second (typical)
• Portable: Weighs less than 11 pounds (5 kgs)
• Technological Advance: High-resistivity dielectric material
  deployed on electrodes

The TOYO Corporation LT1000 Ion Impurity Measurement System will begin
sampling for select customers beginning in August 2018. It will be
generally available in October 2018. For pricing and further
