Linde recently announced that it has started up its new ASU to supply a combined 720 tons per day of high purity nitrogen to Shanghai EverDisplay Optronics (EDO) supporting its sixth generation AMOLED project.

Under the terms of the contract, Linde will also supply EDO with oxygen, helium, argon and hydrogen.
