Abstract:
1. A coating apparatus comprising: a chamber device defining two separated coating chamber sections, two coating channels, two coating slots, and a transportation channel; the coating chamber sections and the coating channels being alternately arranged substantially along a height direction of the chamber device; the coating slots communicating each coating channel to an adjacent coating chamber section; the transportation channel extending substantially along the height direction of the chamber device to intersect the coating slots and the coating chamber sections to divide each coating chamber section into two coating chambers, and the transportation channel communicating with the two coating channels; and a transporting device comprising a carrying board and an a driver; the carrying board being movably received within the transportation channel and defining a receiving groove for receiving a substrate; the driver being configured to drive the carrying board to move along the transportation channel and to rotate the carrying board to move into or out of the coating channels; when the carrying board is moved in one of the coating channels, the receiving groove faces and aligns with a corresponding coating chamber via a corresponding coating slot; wherein the chamber device comprises a chamber body and a chamber door; the coating chambers, the coating channels, the transportation channel, and the coating slots being defined in the chamber body, the chamber door being hinged to the chamber body to open or close the coating chambers; wherein the chamber body comprises a front surface; the chamber door being configured for covering the front surface; the coating chambers, the coating channels, and the transportation channel, being defined in the front surface.
