    摘要: Embodiments of methods and apparatus for micro-printing films are disclosed. According to various embodiments, the printing apparatus includes printheads with ink-jets for dispensing droplets of ink formed from a carrier liquid and a print material. The printheads also include thermal-jets for depositing the print material onto a substrate from the droplets of ink dispensed by ink-jets. The droplets of ink dispensed by ink-jets flow into micro-structures on the thermal-jets and the thermal-jets are heated to evaporate the carrier liquid and to vaporize and direct the print material onto a substrate. The printing apparatus further includes a control unit that is configured to automatically adjust an output from one or more printheads based on one or more measured quantities.

    摘要: The disclosure generally relates to a method and apparatus for depositing a substantially solid film onto a substrate. The solid film can be an Organic Light-Emitting Diode (“OLED”). In one embodiment, the disclosure relates to using a material supply, a rotating or moving mechanism having at least one transfer surface which is supplied with film material in one orientation and delivers film material to the substrate at a second orientation such that film material delivered to the substrate deposits in substantially solid form. The delivery to the substrate can be performed without the transfer surface materially contacting the substrate. The film material can be deposited on the transfer surface in either solid form or in liquid form (e.g., as a mixture of carrier liquid and dissolved or suspended film material).

    摘要: A thermal printhead die is formed from an SOI structure as a MEMS device. The die has a printing surface, a buried oxide layer, and a mounting surface opposite the printing surface. A plurality of ink delivery sites are formed on the printing surface, each site having an ink-receiving and ink-dispensing structure. An ohmic heater is formed adjacent to each structure, and an under-bump metallization (UBM) pad is formed on the mounting surface and is electrically connected to the ohmic heater, so that ink received by the ink-delivery site and electrically heated by the ohmic heater may be delivered to a substrate by sublimation. A through-silicon-via (TSV) plug may be formed through the thickness of the die and electrically coupled through the buried oxide layer from the ohmic heater to the UBM pad. Layers of interconnect metal may connect the ohmic heater to the UBM pad and to the TSV plug.
