Abstract:
Disclosed is an ejection volume compensation method of an inkjet printer for manufacturing an organic electroluminescent device pixel. The inkjet printer includes a plurality of nozzles and is configured to perform a plurality of print processes for the same pixel location. A target ejection volume for the next print process is selected so that an average of the target ejection volume and an actual ejection volume for the previous print process is equal to an ideal ejection volume. Also disclosed are an ejection volume compensation device for use with the inkjet printer, an inkjet printing device, and a non-transitory machine readable medium.

Claim (Index 1):
An ejection volume compensation method of an inkjet printer for manufacturing an organic electroluminescent device pixel, the inkjet printer comprising a plurality of nozzles and configured to perform a plurality of print processes for a same pixel position, the method comprising:\n correcting respective ejection volumes of respective ones of the plurality of nozzles assigned for a first one of the plurality of print process to fall within a tolerance range around respective first target ejection volumes by adjusting respective drive signals for driving the respective nozzles assigned for the first print process to eject; deriving respective second target ejection volumes of respective ones of the plurality of nozzles assigned for a second one of the plurality of print processes from the corrected ejection volumes of the respective nozzles assigned for the first print process, wherein the second target ejection volume of each of the respective nozzles assigned for the second print process is selected such that an average of the second target ejection volume and the corrected ejection volume of a corresponding one of the respective nozzles assigned for the first print process equals an ideal ejection volume; and correcting respective ejection volumes of the respective nozzles assigned for the second print process to fall within the tolerance range around the respective second target ejection volumes by adjusting respective drive signals for driving the respective nozzles assigned for the second print process to eject.
