A method for depositing an OLED emissive layer, includes: providing an OLED substrate having at least one discernible feature; providing a beam of light which is transversely and angularly movable; providing an unpattemed donor element including emissive material and having an energy absorbing layer, arranged so that when the donor element is properly positioned relative to the OLED substrate, the beam of light can be absorbed by the energy-absorbing layer to heat the emissive material and cause its transfer; detecting the location of the discernible feature on the OLED substrate relative to the position of the beam to determine the position and orientation of the OLED substrate relative to the beam; angularly moving the beam and then moving the beam in a raster fashion, in accordance with the detected position and orientation of the OLED substrate, and changing the timing of actuation of the light beam as it is moved to different transverse positions. |
