Abstract: Disclosed herein are a secondary battery configured to be prevented from catching fire or exploding in a critical situation such as overcharging and a method of preventing the secondary battery from catching fire or exploding. Since a separator including a low melting point material is used, a short circuit in the battery occurs when the battery is abnormally heated, and the resistance of an electrode is increased when the temperature of the battery increases to a predetermined temperature or higher. As a result, a positive temperature coefficient (PTC) material is operated at a stable State of Charge (SoC). Consequently, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of a thermal runaway phenomenon of the battery.

Abstract: Example embodiments relate to a method of forming a three-dimensional micro pattern or a multi-step pattern using a nano imprinting process and a method of manufacturing a mold to form such a pattern. A molding polymer may be patterned in a one-step shape on a substrate having UV barrier patterns, thereby easing the manufacture of a mold for multi-step imprinting and simplifying the formation of a multi-step pattern using the one-step shaped mold by avoiding the repetition of more complicated processes. Consequently, it may be possible to form a relatively large-area micro pattern, a relatively large-area pattern usable in flat panel displays, and a nano pattern having a size of several tens of nanometers in a semiconductor process, thereby contributing to the reduction of process costs, the reduction of process time, and the improvement of production yield.

The black matrix may have a fine line width of a nano level by imprinting and printing. Further, since the black matrix is formed by the roll to roll method, material costs may be reduced and the color filter may be manufactured at a relatively high speed.
