Embodiments of the disclosed subject matter provide a system having at least one carrier gas source, at least one heated container that includes organic material, and a jet array print head that includes a plurality of apertures to print lines on a substrate, and that is connected to a vacuum source. The system includes a pair of gas bearing plates, with a top gas bearing plate and a bottom gas bearing plate, each having a plurality of pressure apertures and vacuum apertures. The top gas bearing plate applies a uniform force to a top surface of the substrate, and the bottom gas bearing plate applies a uniform force to a bottom surface of the substrate. The top gas bearing plate includes a slot configured for the print head to fit within. The vacuum apertures are arranged perpendicular to a direction of travel of the substrate.

Gas bearing plate with integrated OVJP vacuum source

Systems and methods for depositing materials on a substrate via OVJP are provided. A float table and grippers are used to move and position the substrate relative to one or more OVJP print bars to reduce the chance of damaging or compromising the substrate or prior depositions.
