METHOD OF MEASURING THE DISCHARGED AMOUNT OF DROPLETS AND A METHOD OF MANUFACTURING AN ORGANIC ELECTROLUMINESCENCE APPARATUS, CAPABLE OF MEASURING THE DROPLET AMOUNT OF A FUNCTIONAL LIQUID BY A DROPLET DISCHARGING APPARATUS

摘要

PURPOSE: A method of measuring the discharged amount of droplets and a method of manufacturing an organic electroluminescence apparatus are provided to measure the discharged amount of droplets from a droplet discharging apparatus at high precision regardless of the concentration of a solid component or the transpiration of a solvent.;CONSTITUTION: A method of measuring the discharged amount of droplets is as follows. The amount of droplets of a functional liquid discharged by a droplet discharging apparatus(2), which introduces the functional liquid including a solid component and the solvent, is measured. A droplet of the functional liquid lands on a test surface(11) by the droplet discharging apparatus. On the test surface, the solvent is transpirated from the droplet(M) and is changed to a solid dot(D). During a drying process, following the transpiration of the solvent from the droplet, the droplet is deposited/contracted. The area of the solid dot is narrower than the landing area of the droplet.;COPYRIGHT KIPO 2011
