The specific embodiment
Hereinafter with reference to relevant drawings, the look China ink ink-jet temperature control equipment according to a kind of organic electroluminescent element of the utility model embodiment is described.
As shown in Figure 1, the utility model provides a kind of look China ink ink-jet temperature control equipment 1 of organic electroluminescent element, and look China ink ink-jet temperature control equipment 1 comprises an inkjet ink chamber 11, an ink gun 12 and a thermostat unit 13.Wherein, inkjet ink chamber 11 has an accommodation space, and inkjet ink chamber 11 is communicated with and is provided with an ink container (not being shown among the figure), is provided with a pedestal 111 in the accommodation space, pedestal 111 is a good thermal conductor, and pedestal 111 is provided with a substrate 2 (being shown in Fig. 2) of putting an organic electroluminescent element; Ink gun 12 and pedestal 111 are relative and establish, and ink gun 12 is communicated with ink container (not being shown among the figure), and ink gun 12 has most jet orifice 121, and ink can be sprayed towards pedestal 111 directions; Thermostat unit 13 is connected with pedestal 111, and provides a heating cooling source to regulate the temperature of pedestal 111.
In present embodiment, have a plurality of keepers 1111 on the surface of pedestal 111, these keepers 1111 are positioned substrate 2 (being shown in Fig. 2) on the pedestal 111, to reduce the possibility of substrate 2 (being shown in Fig. 2) displacement.Wherein, these keepers 1111 are inhaled the hole for vacuum.
Please refer to Fig. 1 again, present embodiment more comprises a vacuum unit 14, inhales the hole with this equal vacuum and is communicated with, and so that the air in the pedestal 111 is extracted out, makes a plurality of vacuum suctions hole of pedestal 111 have suction.
In addition, as shown in Figure 2, substrate 2 is an electrode base board.Wherein, this electrode base board is a tin indium oxide (ITO) substrate or an aluminum zinc oxide (AZO) substrate.Certainly, electrode base board also can be the substrate that a surface is formed with metal.
The ink gun 12 of present embodiment has most jet orifice 121, and ink gun 12 is with the direction ejection of ink towards pedestal 111, be used to form an organic electric-excitation luminescent layer on the substrate 2, as electron injecting layer, electron transfer layer, organic luminous layer, electric hole transport layer and electric hole implanted layer etc.
The size of ink gun 12 and jet orifice 121 thereof and its shape are along with the character of the pattern magnitude of required printing and the luminescent material loaded, and be different as solution viscosity, granular size etc.Employed alignment so also changes along with the required precision of luminous pattern, and for example: it aims at precision more than 5 microns mechanical registeration, and its aligning precision of optical alignment is more than 1 micron.
Moreover thermostat unit 13 is connected with pedestal 111, and provides a heating cooling source to regulate the temperature of pedestal 111.In present embodiment, the adjustment temperature range of thermostat unit 13 is about-20 ℃ to 200 ℃.Certainly, the adjustment temperature range of thermostat unit 13 also can be with the need and appropriate change.Simultaneously, can also control the humidity in the inkjet ink chamber 11 separately, make inkjet ink chamber 11 can not produce the dewfall of aqueous vapor.
At this, thermostat unit 13 comprises a heating cooler 131 and a temperature controller 132.Owing to be provided with at least one comb 1112 in the middle of the pedestal 111, heating cooler 131 carries a fluid in comb 1112, in order to change the temperature of pedestal 111.For example: fluid can be a water, and heating cooler 131 can utilize the water of carrying different temperatures in comb 1112, regulates the temperature of pedestal 111; In addition, heating cooler 131 can also be a heater coil, and it converts electric energy to the form of heat, so that the rising of temperature is provided.
In addition, temperature controller 132 is a thermocouple (thermal couple).Thermocouple, has disturbed external noise and has eliminated when two groups of data are carried out differential operational with differential voltmeter temperature indicating degree, and therefore stability is better than other temperature sensor (as resistance thermometer or thermistor).Certainly, temperature controller 132 can also replace by other temperature sensor.
In the utility model, with the pedestal cooling, so that the temperature of substrate 2 is lower than predetermined temperature.At this, predetermined temperature is room temperature (being about 25 ℃).Because solvent evaporation rate at room temperature is exceedingly fast in the ink droplet 3,, in the time of can making ink droplet 3 on dripping to substrate 2, reduce the speed of solvent evaporates, so that ink droplet 3 formed films are more smooth so before ink droplet 3 drips to substrate 2, earlier substrate 2 is lowered the temperature (<25 ℃).
For example, weight concentration be poly (3,4)-ethylendioxythiophene (PEDOT) of 3wt% when temperature is 18 ℃, its contact angle is 7.51 °; When temperature was 28 ℃, its contact angle was 9.22 °; When temperature was 36 ℃, its contact angle was 11.86 °.By above-mentioned data as can be known, when temperature was high more, the contact angle between substrate 2 and the ink droplet 3 was big more; Otherwise the contact angle between substrate 2 and the ink droplet 3 is more little.
As shown in Figure 3A, when the temperature of substrate 2 was higher than room temperature, ink droplet 3 was bigger with the contact angle θ of substrate 2, makes that ink droplet 3 formed films are more inhomogeneous; In addition, shown in Fig. 3 B, when the temperature of substrate 2 was lower than room temperature, ink droplet 3 was less with the contact angle θ of substrate 2, makes that ink droplet 3 formed films are comparatively even.At this, the relation of the temperature of substrate 2 and contact angle θ is relevant with the material of ink droplet 3.
The look China ink ink-jet temperature control equipment of organic electroluminescent element of the present utility model has thermostat unit, and it uses the change flowability of ink droplet on substrate and the homogeneity of film forming in order to regulate the temperature of pedestal.Compared with prior art, before the ink droplet contact substrate, utilize thermostat unit to reduce the temperature of substrate, when making ink droplet on dripping to substrate, the contact angle between ink droplet and the substrate diminishes, and then improves the uniformity of ink droplet film forming.In addition, after the ink droplet planarization that drops on the substrate, can utilize thermostat unit that base-plate temp is raise, substrate is heated up rapidly, allow solvent volatilize fast simultaneously, reduce the flowability of ink droplet, and then increase the homogeneity of film forming, also can increase the luminous efficiency of element.Moreover, have a plurality of keepers on the pedestal, can to reduce the situation that displacement substrate takes place, reduce the situation that ink droplet flows in picture element with substrate orientation in certain position.
Above-mentioned is specific embodiment only, and is not to be restricted person.Anyly do not break away from spirit of the present utility model and category, and, all should be contained in the utility model claim institute restricted portion its equivalent modifications of carrying out or change.
