Abstract
A screen printing method and a printing device thereof are revealed. The printing device consists of a printing table, a screen and a printing head. The printing head includes at least one driving member that moves upward and downward so as to drive at least one squeegee moving upward and downward. By precise control of relative distance between the screen and a printed substrate on a surface of the printing table, the squeegee applies a constant pressure to the screen for printing under the condition that the screen doesn't contact with the printed substrate. As to the printed substrate made from fragile and compact materials such as silicon wafer, the thickness and evenness of the ink are precisely controlled.
Claims13
A non-contact screen printing method comprising the steps of:
- providing a printing table with a printing table surface for being disposed with a printed substrate;
- providing a screen arranged between a squeegee and the printing table surface so that ink on the screen passes through the screen to be printed on the printed substrate over the printing table surface;
- setting a certain distance between the screen and the printed substrate over the printing table surface;
- providing a printing head having at least one driving member and at least one printing squeegee and the driving member drives the squeegee to move downward;
- the squeegee presses against and applies a preset constant pressure to the screen;
- by driving of the printing head, the squeegee applies the preset constant pressure forcing ink through the screen to be printed on the printed substrate;
- wherein by the certain distance set between the screen and the printed substrate over the printing table surface in combination with the preset constant pressure from the squeegee to the screen, the screen doesn't contact with the printed substrate.
A screen printing device comprising:
- a printing table with a printing table surface for setting a printed substrate;
- a screen with a frame arranged between the printing table surface and a squeegee and a certain distance is set between the screen and the printed substrate on the printing table surface so as to make ink pass through to be printed on the printed substrate;
- and
- a printing head with at least one driving member that moves upward and downward so as to drive at least one squeegee moving upward and downward and applying a constant pressure to the screen;
- wherein the screen doesn't contact with the printed substrate during printing processes due to the certain distance set between the screen and the printed substrate on the printing table surface.
