Abstract
Description
The present invention relates to an organic thin film evaporation source (surface source) and a surface evaporation deposition apparatus for a large area substrate used in a top-down evaporator for mass production of a large-area (5th to 10th generation) organic thin film OLED A first step of vapor-depositing an organic thin film on the lower surface of the metal surface, heating the back surface of the metal surface with a surface heater, and re-evaporating the organic thin film to form a vertical gas beam, And thus the deposition phenomenon is reduced, thereby making it possible to produce a high-resolution organic device. Especially, it prevents the deflection of a large-area substrate and effectively mass-produces a high-resolution organic thin film, and is a key process for producing a flexible OLED device and an OLED TV at a high speed. will be.
The OLED display is not only a post LCD display but also a surface emitting device for illumination, and its energy efficiency and low cost have been proved worldwide. As a key process technology of an OLED light emitting device, a thermal evaporation deposition process in which an organic light emitting material is vaporized by vaporization and deposited on a glass substrate in a high vacuum state to produce an organic thin film is mainly used.
The thermal evaporation process is a source for evaporating organic matter. The substrate tray for fixing the evaporation source and the substrate, which is a gas induced evaporation device by thermal radiation, and the open mask and the shield mask device for producing the shape of the thin film, And used in the chamber.
Especially recently, in order to lower the unit cost of the OLED product, there has been a need for a technique of manufacturing a larger size of a substrate, followed by cutting a small piece into several pieces. For example, if an organic thin film is formed by depositing a 5th generation or a 10th generation substrate and cut into 2 inch or 4 inch or 55 inch or 65 inch depending on the application, the productivity is improved and the manufacturing cost is lowered. However, recently, in order to mass-produce high-resolution (75 inches or more) large-sized OLED TVs, a glass substrate having a size of 8th generation (2200 mm × 2500 mm) or more is used. At this time, large substrate deflection is serious, In this case, the degree of deterioration due to the mask is significant, and the productivity is significantly reduced.
According to a linear large-area organic device mass production equipment by a top-down thermal induction deposition, which is a patent for a conventional cotton evaporation evaporator (registration number: 1012061620000), primary deposition is performed on a metal surface from a cylindrical evaporation source, The thin film is evaporated downward and surface deposition is attempted on the substrate. According to this patent, when a cylindrical source is used, the material utilization rate is lowered, it can be applied only to a small substrate, and an apparatus for cooling the heated metal surface is installed outside the chamber, which is very inefficient because of a long cooling time. In addition, if mass production equipments are proposed to be in-line type and the back substrate must wait until the previous substrate deposition is completed, or if a problem occurs in one chamber of the line, the production of all in-line equipment should be stopped . That is, it is necessary to improve the material utilization ratio of the surface evaporation evaporator, the productivity improvement, the in-situ cooling of the metal surface, and the structure of the deposition chamber suitable for a large area.
In order to solve the above problem, in the present invention, an organic material is deposited on a large metal surface by using a stationary bottom-up linear organic evaporation source, and a surface source structure for roller transport for smooth transfer of surface sources will be developed. In particular, the metal surface will be scanned for a fixed evaporation source to maximize the material utilization efficiency, and an in-situ cooling plate will be constructed to rapidly heat the metal surface. In addition to the inline type OLED type, it is possible to achieve high productivity of organic devices by devising a cluster type which has already been proved in the mass production of OLEDs. In addition to the top-down type, a variety of designs of a bottom- .
According to the present invention, since a linear evaporation source is used, the distance between the metal surface and the evaporation source is kept very small, so that the material usage rate is remarkably improved, the heated metal surface source is easily cooled, Due to the formation of the gas beam, the sharpening phenomenon is remarkably reduced. In addition, the cluster type mass production equipment can be configured to minimize the idle time of the substrate, thereby reducing the TACT time and improving the flexibility of the process operation of the equipment during the process of the substrate, It has the effect of improving the productivity and reducing the cost.
