Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A thin film forming apparatus includes: a thin film source including a thin film on one surface of the thin film source to be transferred to a substrate; and a light emitter configured to apply light energy to the thin film source to transfer the thin film to the substrate.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of forming a thin film, the method comprising: arranging a thin film source to face a substrate, the thin film source comprising a thin film on one surface of the thin film source; arranging a mask between the thin film source and the substrate; and transferring the thin film through an opening of the mask to the substrate by applying light energy to the thin film source. 2. A method of forming a thin film, the method comprising: arranging a thin film source to face a substrate, the thin film source comprising a thin film on one surface of the thin film source; interposing a mask between the substrate and the thin film source for patterning the thin film; and transferring the thin film to the substrate by applying light energy to the thin film source. 3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising pressing the thin film source toward the substrate by a transparent window. 4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising transferring the thin film to the substrate a plurality of times while moving the thin film source. 5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the thin film source comprises a roll, and the moving of the thin film source comprises releasing the roll at one end and winding the roll at another end. 6. The method of claim 4 , wherein the thin film source is movable in forward, backward, left, and right directions along a plane facing the substrate. 7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the thin film comprises material to from an organic light-emitting layer of an organic light-emitting display apparatus. 8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the transferring of the thin film to the substrate comprises forming the organic light-emitting layer of the organic light-emitting display apparatus.
