Abstract: In vapor deposition applications, especially OLED mass production, where it is necessary to measure and/or control the deposition rate of evaporation sources within specific tolerances, a measurement system is adapted to use robust and accurate optical thickness measurement methods at high and low rate sources, so that the thickness of a layer deposited on a substrate can be measured and controlled. A first evaporation source (11) deposits a layer of material on a substrate (20). A mobile element (41) is provided, On which a film is deposited from a second evaporation source (12b) in a deposition location (D1). Subsequently the mobile element is conveyed to a measurement location (D2) where the thickness of the film is measured by a thickness detector (45). The measurement apparatus is arranged to control the deposition of the first evaporation source in dependence on the thickness of the film deposited on the mobile element.

Abstract: A method for deposition of at least one electrically conducting film on a substrate, wherein the method includes the steps of: selecting a layer of a film material, wherein the layer includes a mask on a front side, and wherein the layer and the mask are one piece; positioning the front side of the layer upon the substrate; applying at least one laser pulse onto a back side of the layer, so as to melt and to vaporize at least parts of the layer such that melt droplets are propelled toward and deposited upon the substrate; and forming the film, wherein at least one slot of the mask limits the distribution of the melt droplets.

Abstract: Luminous units of this kind have light members in the form of incandescent lamps, whose contacts are connected electrically conductive with an electrical connector via an intermediate or contact plate. The contact plate must be fastened separately, owing to which manufacture and assembly are complicated and costly. In order to avoid this, the luminous unit has a light member holder, which is connected with the light member and has a coupling piece for the electrical connector. The coupling connection permits a simple and reliable electrical connection between the light member and the electrical connector. The contacts of the light member have contact pins, which are lengthened by lengthening pins. These allow the contact pins to be directly connected with the electrical connector.
