Abstract: A method for manufacturing a functional layer includes introducing a substrate into a process chamber; generating a plasma by a DC plasma cascade source; depositing a first deposition material on the substrate under the influence of the plasma. At the same time, a second deposition material is applied to the substrate with a second deposition process. The functional layer has no catalytic function.

Abstract: Described is a method for manufacturing a display including a substrate on which a structure, such as, for instance, a matrix structure in relief, is provided, which structure bounds a number of areas, wherein, with the aid of an inkjet printhead, substantially in each area an amount of liquid is deposited, wherein with the aid of at least one sensor a measurement is performed on the substrate to determine the position of a respective area, and on the basis of the thus determined position the printhead is controlled to deliver an amount of liquid at the correct place. Also described is an apparatus for carrying out the method, a substrate for use in the method and a display obtained with the method.

Abstract: A system for treating substrates, provided with at least one processing chamber to treat at least one substrate with a vacuum process, wherein said processing chamber is provided with a substrate access closable by a closing body, wherein the system is provided with a conveying device which is at least arranged to move said closing body, wherein said conveying device is arranged to convey a mask, intended to at least partly cover said substrate during said vacuum process, at least between a position outside the processing chamber and a position inside the processing chamber. It is advantageous when at least said substrate holder is provided with positioning means to position the substrate holder and the mask relative to each other. The invention further provides a use of such a system.

Abstract: An injection molding apparatus provided with a central control and with a screw which extends in a cylinder, which cylinder is provided with a filing opening and with a nozzle, the screw being drivingly connected with two controllable electric motors such that a movement in rotational and/or axial sense can be imposed on the screw, the driving connection comprising a number of cylindrical planetary rollers accommodated for rotation in a planetary cage such that the planetary rollers can be engaged from a space located radially outside the planetary cage and a space located radially within the planetary cage, the planetary cage being connected to the screw in a manner secured against rotation, while a first drive part connected with a rotor of the first electric motor, is provided with a first engaging surface facing radially inward which engages the planetary rollers from the space located radially outside the planetary cage, while a second drive part, connected with a rotor of the second electric motor is pr

Abstract: A method and apparatus for at least partly covering at least one electronic component with compound, the apparatus being provided with a first mold half and a second mold half, the first mold half being moveable relative to the second mold half, while means are provided for placing an electronic component on a mold half for inclusion of this component in a mold cavity defined by the two mold halves, the first mold half being provided with a number of actuators with the aid of which the position of the first mold half relative to the second mold half is continuously and accurately regulable, while the distance between the two mold halves is continuously regulated and, if desired, adjusted during the two mold halves being moved towards each other and during their being held in a position when moved towards each other.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a polymer OLED, wherein after the application of a number of active layers onto a substrate to form the OLED, these active layers are encapsulated with at least one sealing, wherein prior to the application of the sealing, the OLED is heated for some time, as a result of which volatile substances present in the active layers evaporate from the OLED, and subsequently the respective sealing is applied. Optionally independently of the heating of the OLED prior to the application of the sealing, the sealing can be formed by at least a UV-setting resist layer which is applied with one of the following techniques; printing, such as inkjet printing, screen printing, tampon printing, offset printing and the like, or a mechanical coating technique, such as spray coating, curtain coating, spin coating and the like.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a catalyst, wherein a substrate (I) is introduced into a processing chamber (2, 102); wherein at least one plasma (P) is generated by at least one plasma cascade source (3, 103); wherein at least one deposition material (A, B) is deposited on the substrate (1, 101) under the influence of the plasma (P). The invention further provides an apparatus for manufacturing a catalyst, the apparatus being provided with at least one plasma cascade source (3, 103) for generating at least one plasma (P), the apparatus comprising means for bringing deposition material (A, B) into each plasma (P), the apparatus being further provided with substrate positioning means (8, 118) to bring and/or keep at least a part of a substrate (1, 101) in such a position in a processing chamber (2, 102) that the substrate (1, 101) makes contact with the plasma (P).

Abstract: A method for connecting a conductive metal strip, or tab, to a solar cell, which solar cell is provided with metal attachment points, in which a tab is placed at a respective attachment point, wherein the connection between the respective attachment point and the tab is realized by a non-contact connecting technique. The invention also relates to an apparatus for manufacturing solar panels, preferably using the method, wherein the apparatus is provided with: a tabbing station in which solar cells are provided with tabs; a stringing station in which the solar cells provided with tabs in the tabbing station are placed next to each other on a translucent plate and where suitably chosen tabs of the solar cells are interconnected; and a laminating station in which the plate with solar cells coming from the stringing station is provided with at least one layer for covering the solar cells.
