摘要:
A method and apparatus for delivering solvent free marking material to a receiver is provided. A printhead includes a discharge device having an inlet and an outlet with a portion of the discharge device defining a delivery path. An actuating mechanism is moveably positioned along the delivery path. A material selection device has an inlet and an outlet with the outlet of the material selection device being connected in fluid communication to the inlet of the discharge device. The inlet of the material selection device is adapted to be connected to a pressurized source of a thermodynamically stable mixture of a fluid and a marking material, wherein the fluid is in a gaseous state at a location beyond the outlet of the discharge device.

A method produces patterned deposition on a substrate (14) from compressed fluid. A delivery system (12) cooperates with a controlled environment (30, 100, 200) retaining a substrate (14) for receiving precipitated functional material 44 along a fluid delivery path (13) from the delivery system (12). A mask (22) is arranged in close proximity to the substrate (14) for forming the patterned deposition on the substrate (14).

A system (10) produces patterned deposition on a substrate (14) from supercritical fluids. A delivery system (12) cooperates with a partial enclosure environment (30, 100, 200) retaining a movable substrate (14) for receiving precipitated functional material (44) along a fluid delivery path (13) from the delivery system (12). A shadow mask (22) is arranged in close proximity to the movable substrate (14) for forming the patterned deposition on the movable substrate (14).

A method and an apparatus for continuously delivering a solvent free marking material to a receiver includes a printhead with a discharge device is provided. The discharge device has an outlet and is in fluid communication with a pressurized reservoir of a thermodynamically stable mixture of a compressed fluid solvent and a marking material. The marking material becomes free of the solvent after ejected through the discharge device. A deflection mechanism is positioned relative to the outlet of the discharge device. The deflection mechanism is adapted to selectively deflect the marking material away from a first path to a second path. A gutter is positioned at an end of the first path, and the solvent free marking material is collected by the gutter. A receiver transporting mechanism is positioned at an end of the second path and the receiver transporting mechanism is adapted to provide a receiver to allow solvent free marking material be deposited on the receiver.

A method and apparatus for printing and coating includes providing a pressurized source of a thermodynamically stable mixture of a solvent and a marking material. A printhead is connected to the pressurized source. The printhead is configured to produce a first shaped beam of the marking material and a second shaped beam of the marking material. The marking material can be different marking materials or the same marking material.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for delivering a functional material to a receiver includes a pressurized source of solvent in a thermodynamically stable mixture with a functional material. The solvent is in a liquid state within the pressurized source. A discharge device having an inlet and an outlet is connected to the pressurized source at the inlet such that the thermodynamically stable mixture is ejected from the outlet. A receiver having a back is positioned a predetermined distance from the outlet of the discharge device. The solvent of the thermodynamically mixture evaporates at a location beyond the outlet of the discharge device and a predetermined amount of the functional material contacts the receiver at a predetermined distance from the back of the receiver.

An apparatus and method of delivering a functional material is provided. The apparatus includes a pressurized source of fluid in a thermodynamically stable mixture with a functional material. A discharge device having an inlet and an outlet is connected to the pressurized source at the inlet. The discharge device is shaped to produce a collimated beam of functional material, where the fluid is in a gaseous state at a location before or beyond the outlet of the discharge device. A beam control device is positioned proximate to the outlet of the discharge device such that the collimated beam of functional material is controlled after the collimated beam of functional material moves through the outlet of the discharge device.
