FILM FORMING APPARATUS AND ARTICLE MANUFACTURING METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18512296 titled 'FILM FORMING APPARATUS AND ARTICLE MANUFACTURING METHOD
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a film forming apparatus that forms a film on a substrate using a curable composition. The apparatus includes a dispenser, a reference part, a sensor, and a controller to evaluate the state of the curable composition.
- Dispenser with an end face and discharge outlet for the curable composition.
- Reference part to arrange the curable composition on the substrate.
- Sensor to detect the curable composition adhering to the end face.
- Controller to evaluate the state of the curable composition based on sensor measurements.
Potential Applications
The technology can be applied in industries such as electronics, automotive, and medical devices for precise film formation processes.
Problems Solved
1. Ensures accurate and uniform film formation on substrates. 2. Minimizes wastage of curable composition by evaluating its state during the dispensing process.
Benefits
1. Improved quality control in film forming processes. 2. Increased efficiency and cost-effectiveness in production. 3. Enhanced reliability of the film forming apparatus.
Potential Commercial Applications
Optimizing Film Formation Process for Enhanced Product Quality
Possible Prior Art
There may be prior art related to film forming apparatuses used in various industries, but specific examples are not provided in the patent application.
What are the key components of the film forming apparatus described in the patent application?
The key components of the film forming apparatus are the dispenser, reference part, sensor, and controller.
How does the apparatus evaluate the state of the curable composition during the film forming process?
The apparatus evaluates the state of the curable composition by detecting the composition adhering to the end face using a sensor and measuring the lower end of the reference part to compare the results.
Original Abstract Submitted
A film forming apparatus forms, on a substrate, a film formed of a cured product of a curable composition. The apparatus includes a dispenser including an end face where a discharge outlet for discharging the curable composition is arranged, and a reference part having a lower end lower than the end face, and configured to discharge the curable composition downward from the discharge outlet so as to arrange the curable composition on the substrate, a sensor configured to detect the curable composition adhering to the end face, and a controller configured to evaluate a state of the curable composition adhering to the end face based on a result obtained by measuring the lower end using the sensor and a result obtained by measuring the end face using the sensor.
