Abstract: A coating can be provided on a substrate. Fabrication of the coating can include forming a solid layer in a specified region of the substrate while supporting the substrate in a coating system using a gas cushion. For example, a liquid coating can be printed over the specified region while the substrate is supported by the gas cushion. The substrate can be held for a specified duration after the printing the patterned liquid. The substrate can be conveyed to a treatment zone while supported using the gas cushion. The liquid coating can be treated to provide the solid layer including continuing to support the substrate using the gas cushion.

Abstract: This disclosure provides a high precision measurement system for rapid, accurate determination of height of a deposition source relative to a deposition target substrate. In one embodiment, each of two transport paths of an industrial printer mounts a camera and a high precision sensor. The cameras are used to achieve registration between split transport axes, and the positions of the high precision sensors are each precisely determined in terms of xy position. One of the high precision sensors is used to measure height of the deposition source, while another measures height of the target substrate. Relative z axis position between these sensors is identified to provide for precise z-coordinate identification of both source and target substrate. Disclosed embodiments permit dynamic, real-time, high precision height measurement to micron or submicron accuracy.

Abstract: Apparatus and techniques for use in manufacturing a light emitting device, such as an organic light emitting diode (OLED) device can include using one or more modules having a controlled environment. The controlled environment can be maintained at a pressure at about atmospheric pressure or above atmospheric pressure. The modules can be arranged to provide various processing regions and to facilitate printing or otherwise depositing one or more patterned organic layers of an OLED device, such as an organic encapsulation layer (OEL) of an OLED device. In an example, uniform support for a substrate can be provided at least in part using a gas cushion, such as during one or more of a printing, holding, or curing operation comprising an OEL fabrication process. In another example, uniform support for the substrate can be provided using a distributed vacuum region, such as provided by a porous medium.
Abstract translation: 用于制造发光器件(例如有机发光二极管(OLED))器件的装置和技术可以包括使用具有受控环境的一个或多个模块。 受控环境可以保持在大气压或大气压以上的压力。 这些模块可以被布置成提供各种处理区域并且便于打印或以其他方式沉积OLED器件(例如OLED器件的有机封装层(OEL))的一个或多个图案化的有机层。 在一个示例中,可以至少部分地使用气垫来提供对基底的均匀支撑,例如在包括OEL制造工艺的一个或多个印刷,保持或固化操作期间。 在另一个实例中,可以使用诸如由多孔介质提供的分布式真空区域来提供对基底的均匀支撑。

Abstract: A method of forming a material layer on a substrate comprises loading a substrate into a printing zone of a coating system using a substrate handler, printing an organic ink material on a substrate while the substrate is located in the printing zone, transferring the substrate from the printing zone to a treatment zone of the coating system, treating the organic ink material deposited on the substrate in the treatment zone to form a film layer on the substrate, and removing the substrate from the treatment zone using the substrate handler.
