Abstract:
1. A method for printing an organic material on a substrate, the method comprising the steps of: providing a housing comprising: receiving the substrate at the substrate-receiving region; transporting the substrate to the substrate-processing region; sealing the substrate-processing region; providing the substrate-processing region with an inert-gas environment; floating the substrate in the substrate-processing region, wherein the substrate is floated using a gas bearing comprising a plurality of gas ports and vacuum ports; while floating the substrate, printing a quantity of the organic material with the at least one print-head having at least one nozzle onto a portion of the substrate; and, transporting the substrate out of the substrate-processing region.
