The substrate needs to be cleaned to remove dirt and impurities on the surface to ensure the cleanliness of the substrate. The cleaning methods include ultrasonic cleaning, chemical cleaning and physical cleaning. The appropriate cleaning method is selected according to the substrate material and the degree of surface contamination. The cleaned substrate should reach a certain cleanliness index to ensure the smooth progress of subsequent processes and the quality of the product; Step 2: In OLED displays, thin film preparation is one of the key processes, involving the preparation and stacking of multiple functional films, followed by the synthesis and purification of organic light-emitting materials, which are key components of OLED displays. Then, the organic light-emitting materials, electron transport layers, electron injection layers, anodes, and cathode layers are deposited layer by layer on the substrate through thin film deposition technology to form the basic structure of the OLED display.
