Claim:
1. A method for providing a substrate coating, comprising: transferring a substrate to an enclosed ink jet printing system, wherein the enclosed ink jet printing system is configured to deposit a patterned organic material in a deposition region over at least a portion of an active region of a light-emitting device fabricated upon the substrate; printing organic material over the deposition region of the substrate using the enclosed printing system; transferring the substrate with the patterned organic material deposited thereon to an enclosed curing module, wherein the enclosed curing module is configured to provide an ultraviolet treatment to treat the organic material deposited on the substrate to form a solid organic film layer; supporting the substrate in the enclosed curing module using a pressurized gas cushion distributed between the substrate and a substrate support apparatus, the pressurized gas cushion being sufficient to float the substrate above the substrate support apparatus; and treating the organic material deposited on the substrate with an ultraviolet treatment using the enclosed curing module to form an organic film layer.
