Producing repetitive coatings on a flexible substrate

摘要

Apparatus for use in making a device by forming repetitive sequences of coatings on a flexible substrate including defining a path for the flexible substrate; the flexible substrate being disposed about at least a portion of the path; a first deposition source for depositing material located around the path periphery and in cooperative relationship with the surface of the disposed flexible substrate; actuable means effective when actuated for moving the flexible substrate around at least more than one revolution around the path; and actuating the actuable means and the first deposition source so that at least two separate material coatings are provided on the substrate by the deposition source.
