9. Guideline to OLED Handling
A. Handling and Safety
1. Unpack packing box with care. Remove packing trays gently and carefully from packing box.
2. During unloading and handling, gloves are required to prevent finger cuts or possible shocks. Gloves
are also required to avoid fingerprints being left on the glass, and to keep moisture from causing corrosion
to the metal traces.
3. Handle panels with caution. Mechanical stress such as shocks and pressures on the panel surface
(active area, encapsulation glass cavity area) must be avoided to prevent cracking of the glass, delamination,
scratching of the film, and internal structure damage. Do not press or drop the panel.
4. During unloading and handling, panels should always be held from the side. Avoid direct contact with
metal contact pads or connector traces.
5. Protect the panel surface from scratches. Avoid direct contact on panel surface and do not stack panels
on top of each other.
6. Protect the corners and edges during handling, assembly or installation to prevent chipping or breakage
of glass.
7. Avoid contact with chemicals such as solvents.
8. Contact with water must be avoided to prevent damage of films and corrosion of metal traces. Water
drops must be wiped immediately.
9. To remove particle/foreign materials and surface stains, gently wipe the surface of the panel with non-
abrasive cloth.
10. In case of breakage, avoid direct contact with bare hands. Do not swallow particles, chips, or materials.
11. For interconnections, spring contacts are recommended. Soldering and other interconnecting
technologies which apply heat to the panel may cause damage, and are therefore not recommended.
12. Do not hold the panel on the surface . Hold the panel from the edge.
13. In case of connecting multiple panels, series connection is highly recommended. Panel to panel
uniformity problem can occur by parallel connection.
B. Storage and Operation
1. Store and operate OLED panels within the ranges specified in the product specifications on page 1.
Recommended temperature is at 25
°
C; Recommended relative humidity is below 60% (RH). (High
temperature and humidity can cause film degradation, bubble generation, and film delamination)
2. Store panels as delivered from LG Chem.
C. Disposition
Dispose OLED materials/panels/modules in accordance with each region's environmental laws and
regulations. If necessary, consult qualified agencies on industrial waste treatment.
