INKJET PRINTING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17853693 titled 'INKJET PRINTING APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an inkjet printing apparatus that can create a material layer on a substrate. The apparatus consists of a stage, an ink-receiving member, and an inkjet head. The stage supports the substrate, while the inkjet head overlaps with either the stage or the ink-receiving member. It can provide a first set of ink to the substrate and a second set of ink to the ink-receiving member when the substrate is on the stage.

The inkjet printing apparatus forms a material layer on a substrate.
It includes a stage that supports the substrate.
An ink-receiving member is present.
An inkjet head overlaps with either the stage or the ink-receiving member.
The inkjet head provides a first set of ink to the substrate.
It also provides a second set of ink to the ink-receiving member when the substrate is supported by the stage.

Potential Applications

Manufacturing of electronic components
3D printing
Fabrication of thin films
Printing of circuit boards

Problems Solved

Efficient and precise deposition of materials on a substrate
Simultaneous printing on the substrate and ink-receiving member
Versatile printing capabilities for different applications

Benefits

Improved accuracy and precision in material deposition
Increased efficiency in printing processes
Versatility in printing different materials and substrates
Cost-effective manufacturing of electronic components and thin films

Original Abstract Submitted

An inkjet printing apparatus may form a material layer on a substrate. The inkjet printing apparatus includes a stage, an ink-receiving member, and an inkjet head. The stage may support the substrate. The inkjet head overlaps at least one of the stage and the ink-receiving member, may provide a first set of ink to the substrate, and may provide a second set of ink to the ink-receiving member when the substrate is supported by the stage.
