Abstract
A facility for depositing a film of ordered particles onto a moving substrate, the facility configured to allow deposition, onto the substrate, of a film of ordered particles escaping from a particle outlet of a transfer zone having a first width. The facility further includes an accessory device in a form of a deposit head, provided to seal the particle outlet and configured to allow the deposition, onto the substrate, of a film of ordered particles escaping from an end of a particle transfer channel of the deposit head, the end having a second width strictly lower than the first width.
Claims10
A facility for depositing a film of ordered particles onto a substrate, or a moving substrate, the facility comprising:
- a transfer zone including 1) a particle inlet, 2) a particle outlet spaced apart from the particle outlet, and 3) two side rims facing each other, said two side rims retaining a carrier liquid on which the ordered particles float, said particle outlet having a first width;
- an accessory device in a form of a deposit head, having 1) a planar platform connected to the particle outlet of the transfer zone and 2) side flanks extending from the platform, said platform and the side flanks forming a particle transfer channel of the deposit head;
- and
- said accessory device configured to allow deposition, onto the substrate, of a film of the ordered particles escaping from an end of the particle transfer channel of the deposit head, the end of the particle transfer channel of the deposit head having a second width smaller than the first width of the particle outlet of the transfer zone.
