Elongated thermal physical vapor deposition source with plural apertures for making an organic light-emitting device

摘要

An elongated thermal physical vapor deposition source for vaporizing organic materials in forming an OLED on a structure includes an elongated container for receiving vaporizable organic material, and an elongated vaporization heater sealingly disposed over the container. The vaporization heater includes a plurality of vapor efflux apertures formed along an elongated direction of the heater, and arranged to provide improved uniformity of vapor efflux of vaporized organic material along the elongated direction of the source.
