Abstract
An assembly for depositing material onto a substrate includes a reservoir containing the material. The reservoir also includes a nozzle through which the material is jetted and formed into droplets. The droplets travel through flight paths prior to deposition onto the substrate. The assembly includes a charging ring for inducing an electrical charge to one or more of the droplets and a plurality of deflection plates for controlling the flight paths of the droplets. In addition, the assembly also includes a droplet manipulating device configured to manipulate the droplets at least one of during the flight paths and after deposition of the droplets onto the substrate.
