Abstract:
1. A method for producing a large area electronic device by printing a plurality of features of the large-area electronic device on a substrate using a digital lithography system including a first ejector and a second ejector, the method comprising: moving the first ejector over a first selected region of the substrate, and inducing the first ejector to print at least a portion of a first selected feature of the plurality of features onto the first selected region; moving the first ejector from the first selected region of the device area to an associated test region, and inducing the first ejector to print at least a portion of a test pattern onto the associated test region, wherein the test region is remote from the first selected region; determining whether said test pattern was either successfully printed or unsuccessfully printed in the associated test region; when successful printing of the associated test pattern is determined, moving the first ejector over a second selected region of the substrate, and inducing the first ejector to print a second selected feature of the plurality of features onto the second selected region; and when unsuccessful printing of the associated test pattern is determined, moving the second ejector over the first selected region, and inducing the second ejector to print the first selected feature onto the first selected region.
