In a levitation magnet system with large air gap, numerical method is needed because analytic method cannot consider the leakage flux properly. This paper conducted an optimal design of a levitation magnet system with large air gap which was used for an OLED system, where evolution strategy was adopted for optimal design algorithm. Levitation forces near the initial design were calculated first by using finite element method to reduce the computation time. During the optimization process, levitation forces of arbitrary dimension were obtained using the interpolation of the levitation forces which were calculated previously Weight of the maget system was chosen as the object function and it was used minimized.
