    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: 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 relates to a method and apparatus for preventing oxidation or contamination during a circuit printing operation. The circuit printing operation can be directed to OLED-type printing. In an exemplary embodiment, the printing process is conducted at a load-locked printer housing having one or more of chambers. Each chamber is partitioned from the other chambers by physical gates or fluidic curtains. A controller coordinates transportation of a substrate through the system and purges the system by timely opening appropriate gates. The controller may also control the printing operation by energizing the print-head at a time when the substrate is positioned substantially thereunder.

    摘要: A laser scanning device is disclosed which includes a spinner, one light spot misalignment detector and a beam misalignment corrector. The spinner scans a light beam across a scanning line. The detector is located generally at a beginning of the scanned line and measures an initial misalignment of the light spot in a cross-scanning direction. The corrector dynamically corrects, during scanning along said scanning line, the scanning misalignment of the light beam in accordance with at least the initial misalignment. The corrector includes a pre-positioner which determines an offset for the initial misalignment, a pyramidal error estimator which estimates a first portion of the misalignment due to pyramidal error and a wobble estimator which estimate a second portion of the misalignment caused by wobble. The estimations are summed together and used for correcting the misalignment.

    摘要: The present teachings relate to various embodiments of a gas enclosure system that can have various components comprising a particle control system that can provide a low-particle zone proximal to a substrate. Various components of a particle control system can include a gas circulation and filtration system, a low-particle-generating motion system for moving a printhead assembly relative to a substrate, a service bundle housing exhaust system, and a printhead assembly exhaust system. In addition to maintaining substantially low levels for each species of various reactive species, including various reactive atmospheric gases, such as water vapor and oxygen, for various embodiments of a gas enclosure system that have a particle control system, an on-substrate particle specification can be readily met. Accordingly, processing of various substrates in an inert, low-particle gas environment according to systems and methods of the present teachings can have substantially lower manufacturing defects.
