Abstract:
1. An organic thin film deposition device, comprising: a vacuum chamber; first and second substrate arrangement devices arranged in the vacuum chamber, and in which first and second substrates arranged; first and second masks respectively located on the first and second substrate arrangement devices, and having openings formed therein; a first rotating shaft for operating so as to switch the first substrate arrangement device together with the first mask into a horizontal posture to be horizontal, and to switch the first substrate arrangement device together with the first mask into a standing posture to be arranged in a standing manner; a second rotating shaft for operating to place the second substrate arrangement device together with the second mask into the horizontal posture to be horizontal, and to switch the second substrate arrangement device together with the second mask into the standing posture to be arranged in a standing manner, first and second organic vapor discharging devices, provided in the vacuum chamber, and for discharging an organic material vapor from discharging openings provided in first and second organic vapor discharging planes; a mask moving device; and a substrate moving device, wherein the first and second substrates are configured to change their posture between the horizontal posture and the standing posture in a state of being sandwiched respectively by the first and second substrate arrangement devices and the first and second masks, due to operation of the first and second rotating shafts, wherein the first and second organic vapor discharging planes are configured to face respectively the first and second masks which have switched into the standing posture, and to let the organic material vapor discharged from the discharging openings of the first and second organic vapor discharging planes pass through the openings of the first and second masks to reach film formation planes of the first and second substrates, and wherein the first substrate arrangement device in the horizontal posture and the second substrate arrangement device in the horizontal posture are made into the horizontal posture at a same position horizontally, wherein when the second substrate arrangement device is switched into the standing posture and the first substrate arrangement device is switched into the horizontal posture, the mask moving device and the substrate moving device are arranged at a position below the first substrate arrangement device made into the horizontal posture, the first mask on the first substrate arrangement device is lifted up by the mask moving device which is lifted up, and the first substrate on the first substrate arrangement device is lifted up by the substrate moving device which is lifted up, wherein when the first substrate arrangement device is switched into the standing posture and the second substrate arrangement device is switched into the horizontal posture, the mask moving device and the substrate moving device are arranged at a position below the second substrate arrangement device made into the horizontal posture, the second mask on the second substrate arrangement device is lifted up by the mask moving device which is lifted up, and the second substrate on the second substrate arrangement device is lifted up by the substrate moving device which is lifted up.
