Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to be suitable for the printing fluid of fluid-jet printing.The invention further relates to the method for making such printing liquid and the method for using the fluid-jet printing of printing liquid.
Background technology
Fluid-jet printing, what more be widely known by the people is its traditional name-spray ink Printing, is used at present much with relative high precision liquid to be printed in the on-chip application.One of these application are exactly to make polymer LED (Poly-LED) indicating meter.
Polymer led display comprises a large amount of photodiodes, and wherein each photodiode (being commonly referred to LED) comprises a folded independent stratum that is dissolved in the solvent in the pixel, and wherein, pixel is to have the limited zone of specifying size in advance.The little ink droplet that discharges from printhead is used to substrate to provide to comprise the described layer of solvent and the material of layer.
By the drying of spray ink Printing structure (for example pixel of polymer led display), described solvent is volatilized, causes the bed thickness of this structure to change usually.These variations can be small scale (for example, in pixel), and embody to some extent on the bigger yardstick (for example, on the substrate).
But the ink jet printing process that such use tradition ink is finished has a very little processing window, because the subtle change of any for example evaporation rate all will cause local bed thickness profile varying on the substrate.Such variation is difficult to avoid in the evaporation rate, and will often occur in practice.
In nearly all electronics, on big scale, require bed thickness even.On little yardstick, also require bed thickness constant usually.This is illustrated in, and bed thickness must be constant in the print structure.But, utilize traditional printed liquid, be difficult to obtain the constant bed thickness.
Summary of the invention
An object of the present invention is to provide the printing liquid that is suitable for fluid-jet printing, wherein the homogeneity of the thickness of printable layer is improved.For this reason, provide the printing that is suitable for fluid-jet printing liquid according to claim 1.
By test and Digital Simulation, the inventor has proved the printing liquid that comprises the particle with two kinds of particle size distribution by use, can print bed thickness layer more uniformly.
The migration of quality takes place in causing the evaporable drying, and this may cause the layer thickness distribution height of print structure or line inhomogeneous.Mass transfer comprises two main processes.First process is the convection current of ink to wire, causes (being also referred to as " coffee ring " effect) by volatilization, and wherein wire is the boundary line that is defined as between the zone that comprises ink and the extraneous zone that does not comprise ink.Second process is the diffusion of particle away from wire, and is the highest in the concentration of wire place particle.Therefore, there are two kinds of drying modes.
In first kind of pattern, convection current accounts for leading, and causes the bed thickness profile that two protuberances are arranged near wire.In second kind of pattern, diffusion accounts for leading, and the bed thickness profile has the shape of enclosed globe shade.
When drying process is between these two kinds of patterns, can obtain flat and bed thickness profile that uniform thickness is arranged.But its shortcoming is that such process has very little processing window, because the subtle change of any for example evaporation rate will cause local bed thickness profile varying on the substrate.
The invention solves this problem, wherein, provide a kind of ink with two kinds of particle size distribution.Macroparticle is with convection current dominant pattern drying, and small-particle is with diffusion dominant pattern drying.By the suitable mixing of sized particles, obtain the homogeneous thickness profile.
Independent claim have defined this aspect of the present invention and other aspects.
Appended claims have defined advantageous embodiment of the present invention.
