  • Patent number: 8699002
    Abstract: A laser irradiation device and a method of manufacturing an organic light emitting diode display device using the same. The laser radiation device prevents the scattering of the laser light into portions of the donor substrate that correspond to non-transmissive regions of a mask pattern. To reduce the scattering, the mask pattern is designed so that 1) non-transmissive regions of a surface of the mask pattern that faces the laser source have a reflective layer, 2) the surface of the mask pattern that faces the laser source is oriented to have a certain angle with respect to the laser beam axis, and 3) a surface of the mask pattern that faces the donor substrate has an anti-reflective layer. Each of these design aspects of the mask pattern prevents laser light from being scattered and prevents irradiating portions of the donor substrate that corresponds to a non-transmissive region of the mask pattern.

  • Patent number: 8617329
    Abstract: Provided is a method of fabricating an organic light emitting display. The method includes forming an organic layer pattern on a substrate by irradiating a predetermined region of a donor substrate with a laser beam using a laser irradiation apparatus, the laser irradiation apparatus having a spatial light modulator (SLM). The spatial light modulator is used to form the organic layer pattern using the LITI method. Accordingly, it is possible to adjust various types of incident light to homogeneous and to have a desired profile. Therefore, there is provided a method of fabricating an organic light emitting display which is capable of forming an organic layer pattern without using a mask.

  • Patent number: 8613989
    Abstract: A laser induced thermal imaging (LITI) apparatus and a method of making an electronic device using the same are disclosed. The LITI apparatus includes a chamber, a substrate support, a contact frame, and a laser source or oscillator. The LITI apparatus transfers a transferable layer from a film donor device onto a surface of an intermediate electronic device. The LITI apparatus uses a magnetic force to provide a close contact between the transferable layer and the surface of the intermediate device. The magnetic force is generated by magnetic materials formed in two components of the LITI apparatus that are spaced apart interposing transferable layer and the surface of the intermediate device. Magnets or magnetic materials are formed in the two following components of the LITI apparatus: 1) the intermediate device and the film donor device; 2) the intermediate device and the contact frame; 3) the substrate support and the film donor device; or 4) the substrate support and the contact frame.
