Abstract:
Embodiments of the disclosed subject matter provide a device that may have a first depositor that includes one or more delivery apertures surrounded by one or more exhaust apertures, where the one or more delivery apertures and the one or more exhaust apertures are enclosed within a perimeter of a boss that protrudes from a substrate-facing side of the one or more delivery apertures. The delivery channels for the one or more delivery apertures and exhaust channels for the one or more exhaust apertures may be routed orthogonally to each other. The one or more delivery apertures may be configured to permit jets of delivery gas pass through a lower surface of the first depositor. The lower surface of the first depositor may include the one or more exhaust apertures to remove surplus vapor from a delivery zone. Embodiments may also provide a method of forming a print head.
Abstract:
A novel thin film encapsulated OLED panel architecture and a method for making the panels with improved shelf life is disclosed. The OLED panel consists of a plurality of OLED pixels; each OLED pixel is individually hermetically sealed and isolated from its neighboring pixels. The organic stack of the OLED pixel is contained within its own hermetically sealed structure, achieved by making the structure on a barrier coated substrate and using a first barrier material as the grid and a second barrier for encapsulating the entire OLED pixel. The first barrier material provides the edge seal while the second barrier disposed over the pixel provides protection from top down moisture diffusion. By isolating and hermetically sealing individual pixels; any damage such as moisture and oxygen ingress due to defects or particles, delamination, cracking etc. can be effectively contained within the pixel thereby protecting other pixels in the panel.
Abstract:
OLED panels and techniques for fabricating OLED panels are provided. Multiple cuts may be made in an OLED panel to define a desired shape, as well as the location and shape of external electrical contacts. The panel may be encapsulated before or after being cut to a desired shape, allowing for greater flexibility and efficiency during manufacture.
Abstract:
Thin film permeation barrier systems and techniques of fabricating the same are provided. The barrier system includes a hybrid layer, such as a layer containing SiOxCyHz, and an inorganic layer.

Abstract:
Sources, devices, and techniques for deposition of organic layers, such as for use in an OLED, are provided. A vaporizer may vaporize a material between cooled side walls and toward a mask having an adjustable mask opening. The mask opening may be adjusted to control the pattern of deposition of the material on a substrate, such as to correct for material buildup that occurs during deposition. Material may be collected from the cooled side walls for reuse.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the disclosed subject matter provide a micronozzle array including a linear array having a plurality of depositors connected in series, where a first depositor of the plurality of depositors may border a second depositor on a least one side boundary. The micronozzle array may include plurality of orifice arrays, where a width of each orifice in the plurality of orifice arrays is 20 μm or less in a minor axis of its cross section to flow, to regulate flow through a delivery gas distribution channel. The micronozzle array may include a plurality of exhaust distribution channels, where the delivery gas distribution channel and at least one of the plurality of exhaust distribution channels have separate fluid communication with each of the plurality of depositors.
Abstract:
A deposition nozzle is provided that includes offset deposition apertures disposed between exhaust apertures on either side of the deposition apertures. The provided nozzle arrangements allow for deposition of material with a deposition profile suitable for use in devices such as OLEDs.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the disclosed subject matter provide an apparatus having a device with a micronozzle array disposed on a micro-fabricated fluidic die. The device may include a first gas distribution plate and a second opposing plate, where the micro-fabricated fluidic die is disposed between the first gas distribution plate and the second opposing plate, wherein the first gas distribution plate is irreversibly joined to the micronozzle array with a seal that is gas-tight, and where the first gas distribution plate includes a plurality of sealed flow paths. A manifold may be reversibly joined to the first gas distribution plate, where the micro-fabricated fluidic die and the first gas distribution plate and the second opposing plate are disposed between the manifold. A thermally conductive plate may have at least one window that provides a clearance fit for the device across a range of motion relative to the thermally conductive plate.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the disclosed subject matter provide systems and methods of depositing a film on a selective area of a substrate. A first jet of a first material may be ejected from a first nozzle assembly of a jet head having a plurality of nozzle assemblies to form a first portion of a film deposition on the substrate. A second jet of a second material may be ejected from a second nozzle assembly of the plurality of nozzle assemblies, the second nozzle assembly being aligned with the first nozzle assembly parallel to a direction of motion between the plurality of nozzle assemblies and the substrate, and the second material being different than the first material. The second material may react with the first portion of the film deposition to form a composite film deposition on the substrate when using reactive gas precursors.
