Inkjet printing system for manufacturing thin film transistor array
View Patent ↗An inkjet printing system according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes an inkjet printing chamber depositing ink on a substrate, and a drying chamber spaced from inkjet printing chamber by a predetermined interval and drying the ink by regulating a vapor pressure of a solvent of the ink deposited on substrate. The drying chamber is provided separately, and the vapor pressure of the solvent within the drying chamber is regulated, so that the drying speed of the ink is regulated so as to improve the crystallinity of the organic semiconductor.
1. An inkjet printing system, comprising:
an inkjet printing chamber depositing ink on a substrate; and
a drying chamber spaced from the inkjet printing chamber by a predetermined interval and drying the ink by regulating a vapor pressure of a solvent of the ink,
wherein a vapor pressure regulating device regulates the vapor pressure of the solvent of the ink is installed in the drying chamber, and
the vapor pressure regulating device sprays the solvent of the ink into the drying chamber to regulate the vapor pressure of the solvent of the ink.
2. Inkjet printing system of claim 1 , wherein a vapor pressure detector detects the vapor pressure within the drying chamber is further installed in the drying chamber.
3. Inkjet printing system of claim 2 , wherein a stage to which substrate is mounted, an inkjet head depositing the ink on substrate, and a transfer device moving inkjet head to a predetermined position are installed in inkjet printing chamber.
4. Inkjet printing system of claim 1 , wherein the solvent is an organic solvent.
5. Inkjet printing system of claim 4 , wherein the organic solvent is one of mesitylen and tetralin.
