The specific embodiment
The invention provides a kind of device that is applicable to that look China ink bubble removes in the organic electroluminescent element ink-jet processing procedure.Mainly between ink feed groove and ink gun, add a dashpot and with the adjustable exhaust outlet unit of bleeding, make ink in leaving standstill herein, the bubble in the ink is risen by buoyancy and discharges, or provides a reduced pressure atmosphere by bleeding, and forces bubble to discharge.Contact the preferable height that is higher than pipeline between this dashpot and this ink gun of ink height in this dashpot again with air for fear of the ink of discharging by dashpot.The employed ink kind of above-mentioned processing procedure is unrestricted, and being preferably with water, dimethylbenzene, toluene and methyl phenyl ethers anisole is the ink of solvent.Ink transport pipeline kind used in the present invention is unrestricted, and preferable have at least one switch between ink feed groove and dashpot, and has at least one switch between dashpot and the ink gun, with the discharging of control ink.The present invention more can optionally comprise at least one pressue device, provides pressure that ink is injected this dashpot or this ink gun.Dashpot of the present invention can optionally comprise a plurality of demarcation strips, and this dashpot is isolated into several open chamber, to increase the chance that ink flows, helps to remove bubble.
The present invention also provides a kind of organic electroluminescent element ink-jet processing procedure to remove the method for bubble, cooperates an ink discharge device to use, and its operating procedure is as follows: at first, provide as mentioned above a look China ink bubble to remove device and use.Afterwards, close the switch between dashpot and the ink gun, and ink is drained in this dashpot by this ink feed groove, and open the unit of bleeding, the bubble in the ink is extracted out.Now is closed the switch between ink feed groove and the dashpot, continues to bleed.After treating that ink in the dashpot is removed bubble fully, close the unit of bleeding, and open the switch between dashpot and the ink gun, the ink of removing bubble is drained in this ink gun by this dashpot, carry out ink-jet.
For more understanding technology contents of the present invention, be described as follows especially exemplified by the number preferred embodiment.
Embodiment 1
Please refer to Fig. 2, remove the schematic diagram of the preferable example of device for organic electroluminescent element ink-jet processing procedure look China ink bubble of the present invention.This device comprises the feed-line 240 of an ink feed groove 210, a dashpot 220, an ink gun 230, a connection ink feed groove 210 and dashpot 220, and the feed-line 250 of a connection dashpot 220 and ink gun 230; Wherein, this dashpot 220 is between ink feed groove 210 and this ink gun 230; And the horizontal level of this feed-line 240 is higher than feed-line 250.Above-mentioned dashpot 220 tops have an adjustable opening 221, and with the usefulness of supplied gas discharge, and these switch 221 places add the unit 270 of bleeding.This feed-line 240 has a switch 241 near dashpot 210 places, and this feed-line 250 also has a switch 251 near dashpot 210 places, continues or suspend the control of carrying for ink.
The look China ink bubble of present embodiment removes method as shown in Figure 6.When carrying out the ink-jet processing procedure, close switch 251 earlier, and open switch 241 and 221, ink is discharged by ink feed groove 210, be delivered to dashpot 220 via feed-line 240; At this moment, the ink that is given off by ink feed groove 210 still contains numerous air-bubble, therefore is disposed to dashpot 210 earlier, and opens the unit 270 of bleeding, and the bubble in the ink is extracted out.Be noted that the liquid level of dashpot ink inside must be higher than pipeline 250, so, just can avoid having air to enter in the feed-line 250 again when ink is fills up to ink gun.Afterwards, close switch 241 again, continue to bleed, the bubble in the ink can be removed fully.After treating that bubble in the ink is removed fully, close air extractor 270 and switch 221, and open switch 251, the ink that utilizes pressue device (not showing on the figure) will remove bubble injects ink gun 230, carry out the ink-jet processing procedure, ink evenly is sprayed on the substrate 260.
Just can fully the bubble in the ink be removed in this way, not have the situation that ink gun is blocked by bubble, ink can evenly be sprayed on the substrate.
Embodiment 2
Please refer to Fig. 3, remove the schematic diagram of another preferable example of device for organic electroluminescent element ink-jet processing procedure look China ink bubble of the present invention.This device comprises an ink feed groove 310, a three way type dashpot 320, an ink gun 330, and the feed-line 340 of a connection ink feed groove 310, dashpot 320 and ink gun 330; Wherein, this dashpot 320 is between this ink feed groove 310 and this ink gun 330.Above-mentioned dashpot 320 tops have an adjustable opening 321, with the usefulness of supplied gas discharge; And this switch 321 adds a bleed unit 360 or connect a nitrogen environment (on the figure show).
When carrying out the ink-jet processing procedure, ink is discharged by ink feed groove 310, is delivered to dashpot 320 via feed-line 340; At this moment, open switch 221 simultaneously, treat can discharge thus after bubble rises to liquid level, open the switch 321 on the dashpot 320 and the unit 360 of bleeding this moment, ink just can stay in earlier in the dashpot 320, and can directly not drain into ink gun.The ink that stay in the dashpot 320 this moment still contains numerous air-bubble, therefore, is statically placed in this and makes bubble have the enough time to be risen by buoyancy, and cause a subnormal ambient by bleeding, and forces bubble acceleration discharge in the ink.After treating that bubble in the ink is discharged fully, close on the dashpot 320 switch 321 with bleed unit 360, at this moment, the ink of having removed bubble just can continue to inject ink gun 330, and ink evenly is sprayed on the substrate 350.
Embodiment 3
Please refer to Fig. 4, remove the schematic diagram of another preferable example of device for organic electroluminescent element ink-jet processing procedure look China ink bubble of the present invention.Present embodiment is roughly as embodiment 1, and difference is that dashpot 220 inside are provided with several demarcation strips 225, and dashpot 220 is separated into several open chamber, increases the chance that ink flows, to help to remove bubble.
Embodiment 4
Please refer to Fig. 5, remove the schematic diagram of another preferable example of device for organic electric-excitation luminescent ink-jet processing procedure look China ink bubble of the present invention.Present embodiment is roughly as embodiment 3, and difference is in dashpot 220 tops and is provided with several unit 270 of bleeding, and has more quickened the discharge of bubble in the ink.
As shown in the above description, device utilization used herein is provided with a dashpot between ink feed groove and ink gun, an environment that removes bubble is provided, can control and make the ink transport of removing bubble to ink-jet place, do not have bubble and block the nozzle of ink gun, and cause the phenomenon that ink-jet is inhomogeneous or drop deformation spreads, OLED ink-jet process quality is significantly promoted, and then panel defect is reduced, making yield increases.In addition, apparatus and method used in the present invention just removed the bubble in the ink to ink gun in filling ink, therefore, just can omit the step of the ink discharge that will contain bubble when carrying out the ink-jet processing procedure, need not spend over head time, can control the processing procedure required time fully; Also do not need to expend ink more and remove bubble on the ink gun, quite save processing procedure must ink and cost of manufacture.
It should be noted that above-mentioned many embodiment give an example for convenience of explanation, the interest field that the present invention advocated should be as the criterion so that claim is described certainly, but not only limits to the foregoing description.
