Product features
2D Code Overview

The two-dimensional code system is an automated identification technology based on data recovery technologies that are vital to digital data communication. The system’s high level of reliability has seen it established as a replacement for the incumbent technology, OCR, at just about every TFT panel and CF manufacturer in Japan, South Korea and Taiwan.
On the production line, it is used to mark products with 2D codes containing identification information used in product and process management. In subsequent processes, those codes are scanned and read, thus ensuring a uniform management system throughout the entire production line.
Advantages
- Less surface space taken up by code.
- High level of reading reliability.
- Error recovery technology makes it possible for damaged codes to be properly scanned.
Marking to Suit Products and Purposes
| Light-exposure marking | Used for LCDs, CF, organic EL displays and wafers. Marking is done by exposing the surface to UV light. |
|---|---|
| IGM | Used for PDPs and glass. Marking is done using the inner glass marking method. |
