  • Patent number: 10192478
    Abstract: Pixel locations in an addressable display are defined by metal landings on a top surface of a flexible substrate, such as by depositing a metal film and etching the film. The substrate surface may be hydrophobic so that the hydrophobic surface is exposed between the metal landings. The substrate has conductive vias that connect the metal landings to traces on a bottom surface of the substrate for connection to addressing circuitry. LED ink is then blanket-printed over the top surface and cured to electrically connect bottom electrodes of the LEDs to the metal landings. LEDs that fall between the landings are ineffective. A dielectric layer is blanket-printed which exposes the top electrodes, and a transparent conductor layer is blanket-printed over the LEDs to connect all LEDs associated with an individual pixel location in parallel. Accordingly, all printed steps can be performed without any alignment.

  • Patent number: 9961782
    Abstract: A printer deposits material onto a substrate as part of a manufacturing process for an electronic product. At least one mechanical component experiences mechanical error, which is mitigated using transducers that equalize position of a transported thing, e.g., to provide an “ideal” conveyance path; a substrate conveyance system and/or a printhead conveyance system can each use transducers in this manner to improve precise droplet placement. In one embodiment, errors are measured in advance, with corrections being “played back” during production runs to mitigate repeatable transport path error. In a still more detailed embodiment, the transducers can be predicated on voice coils, which cooperate with a floatation table and floating, mechanical pivot assembly to provide frictionless, but mechanically-supported error correction.

  • Patent number: 9040969
    Abstract: The organic electroluminescence display device has a laminated portion on a base substrate. The device may have a cavernous portion formed by exploding a part of the laminated portion in a screening processing. A protective layer is formed to cover a whole surface of a wall defining the cavernous portion. Therefore, substances contained in the air are prevented from contacting to an organic electroluminescence layer at least partially defining the cavernous portion. Therefore, even if moisture is contained in the air, it is possible to prevent moisture from being absorbed by the organic electroluminescence layer. Moreover, since moisture is not absorbed by the organic electroluminescence layer, it is possible to reduce irregular spot on the device. In addition, it is possible to reduce a short circuit at an open defective portion.

  • Publication number: 20150104564
    Abstract: The invention allows evaporation materials discharged from evaporation sources to deposit on a substrate with a desired pattern, while eliminating the need for the conventional strip-shaped shadow mask, and enables correction of the effects due to the substrate being displaced during conveyance. In the apparatus for manufacturing an organic EL device, a first drive section rotates a roller at a specific rotational speed, thereby conveying the substrate that is in contact with the roller. This apparatus performs deposition of evaporation materials discharged from evaporation sources on the substrate with such conveyance. In this apparatus, a shielding section is driven by a second drive section so as to pivot around an axis of the roller at a specific pivot speed, thereby shielding and unshielding the substrate. The second drive section changes the pivot speed of the shielding section so that it is different from the rotational speed of the roller.

  • Patent number: 8932666
    Abstract: A method is for producing an active matrix organic EL display element by an inkjet method to eject droplets (12) of a liquid via an ejection hole of a nozzle so as to form an organic EL layer. The liquid contains an organic EL layer material. An electrostatic attraction type inkjet apparatus (15) is used whose ejection hole (1b) has a diameter smaller than a diameter of the droplets (12). The droplets are ejected from the nozzle of the electrostatic attraction type inkjet apparatus (15) in such a manner that each of the droplets is 1 pl or less in amount. With this arrangement, the landed droplet dries quickly, and movement of the landed droplet is restricted. This makes it possible to form an organic EL layer accurately with low cost.
