Publication number: 20190022999Abstract: A method for embossing a nanostructure, formed on a nanostructure punch, into a punch surface of a curable material which has been applied to a substrate. The method includes the following steps, especially following sequence: alignment of the nanostructure relative to the punch surface, embossing of the punch surface by a) prestressing of the nanostructure punch by deformation of the nanostructure punch and/or prestressing of the substrate by deformation of the substrate, b) making contact of a partial area of the punch surface with the nanostructure punch and c) automatic contacting of the remaining surface at least partially, especially predominantly, by the prestressing of the nanostructure punch and/or the prestressing of the substrate.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 25, 2018Publication date: January 24, 2019Applicant: EV GROUP E.

Publication number: 20190023003Abstract: Inkjet printing system for processing substrates including a chuck for placement of a substrate and an inkjet printing head with at least one nozzle. Each chuck has chuck reference marks, each of which is associated with an associated camera. An electronic controller assembly is configured to take a set of images each instance a substrate having substrate reference marks has been placed on a chuck, with each image containing a chuck reference mark and a substrate reference mark. For each image, the position of the chuck relative to the camera and the position of the substrate relative to the camera is determined. Subsequently, the substrate position relative to the chuck is calculated and based thereon the firing of the at least one nozzle is timed and the movement of the printing motion assembly is controlled so that the liquid drops are accurately positioned on the substrate.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 20, 2017Publication date: January 24, 2019Applicant: MEYER BURGER (NETHERLANDS) B.V.Inventors: Johan VERHEIJEN, Laurentius Hendrikus Adrianus VAN DIJK
