  • ORGANIC VAPOR JET PRINTING SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20230189626
    Abstract: Devices for deposition of material via organic vapor jet printing (OVJP) and similar techniques are provided. The depositor includes delivery channels ending in delivery apertures, where the delivery channels are flared as they approach the delivery apertures, and/or have a trapezoidal shape. The depositors are suitable for fabricating OLEDs and OLED components and similar devices.

  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF MODULATING FLOW DURING VAPOR JET DEPOSITION OF ORGANIC MATERIALS
    Publication number: 20230183852
    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosed subject matter provide methods and systems including a nozzle, a source of material to be deposited on a substrate in fluid communication with the nozzle, a delivery gas source in fluid communication with the source of material to be deposited with the nozzle, an exhaust channel disposed adjacent to the nozzle, a confinement gas source in fluid communication with the nozzle and the exhaust channel, and disposed adjacent to the exhaust channel, and an actuator to adjust a fly height separation between a deposition nozzle aperture of the nozzle and a deposition target. The adjustment of the fly height separation may stop and/or start the deposition of the material from the nozzle.

  • Methods of modulating flow during vapor jet deposition of organic materials
    Patent number: 11591686
    Abstract: Methods of modulating flow during vapor jet deposition of organic materials are provided. A method may include ejecting a vapor entrained in a delivery gas from a nozzle onto a substrate upon which the vapor condenses. A confinement gas may be provided that has a flow direction opposing a flow direction of the delivery gas ejected from the nozzle. A vacuum source may be provided that is adjacent to a delivery gas aperture of the nozzle. The method may include adjusting, by an actuator, a fly height separation between a deposition nozzle aperture of the nozzle and a deposition target.

  • Apparatus and method to deliver organic material via organic vapor-jet printing (OVJP)
    Patent number: 11121322
    Abstract: Systems and arrangements of OVJP deposition devices are provided, in which one or more organic material crucibles are directly attached to an injection block and a print head without the need for external delivery components such as feedtubes. Each crucible may be hermetically sealed until it is attached to the injection block, allowing for a single device to provide for storage, transport, and deposition of the organic material.
