Abstract: This invention relates to a process for forming a continuous pattern on a substrate with a liquid media. Upon the deposition of the liquid media on the substrate, a portion the continuous pattern is evaporated upon contact with the substrate.

Abstract: An electronic device includes an array. In one embodiment, a process for forming an electronic device includes the array, which includes electronic components, can include printing one or more layers as a series of segments onto a workpiece. In one embodiment, a process includes printing a layer onto the workpiece and at least one exposed portion of the chuck. In still another embodiment, a printing head is greater than 0.5 mm from the workpiece. In a further embodiment, “hybrid” printing can be used to help form a thicker layer having a relatively thinner width. In a further embodiment, processes can be used to reduce the likelihood of a stitching defect, nonuniformity of a layer across an array, or a combination thereof. A printing apparatus can be modified to achieve more flexibility in liquid compositions, temperatures or other conditions used in printing a layer.

Abstract: An electronic device includes a printed layer. In one embodiment, a process for forming the electronic device includes placing a workpiece over a chuck within a printing apparatus. A temperature difference is established between the workpiece and a liquid composition. The process further includes continuously printing the liquid composition over the workpiece. A viscosity of the liquid composition is allowed to increase at a rate significantly higher than an ambient viscosity increase rate. In another embodiment, the workpiece is allowed to cool to a temperature significantly below an ambient temperature before printing occurs. In still another embodiment, a printing apparatus is used for continuously printing the liquid composition over the workpiece. The printing apparatus includes the chuck, a printing head, a container, a feed line, and a first temperature-adjusting element thermally coupled to the chuck, the printing head, the container the feed line, or a combination thereof.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a containment structure (230) for an organic composition (240) is provided. The containment structure (230) includes an undercut layer (210) and an overlying layer (220), wherein the undercut (210) and overlying (220) layers define a volume for receiving the organic composition (240) in liquid form.
