    Abstract: The present invention relates to a touch sensor having an antenna. The touch sensor comprises: a touch sensor part including a sensing electrode part; and an antenna part formed on the touch sensor part. The antenna part is formed in a state of being insulated from the sensing electrode part on the sensing electrode part composing the touch sensor part. According to the present invention, even when mounting the antenna on a display region in which a touch sensor is installed, noise due to interference between a touch sensor signal and an antenna transmission/reception signal can be minimized.

  • Patent number: 10444624
    Abstract: A thermal frame of an imprinting apparatus has an motor and a cooling element. A metrology frame of the imprinting apparatus is coupled to an output end of the motor and receives an imprinting mold. Thermal isolation is provided between the motor and the metrology frame. Thermal sensors are disposed at locations of the frames. A digital controller applies a control signal for controlling a driving signal of the cooling element to maintain a thermal balance, such as thermal equilibrium, of heat flow between the frames. The digital controller uses output of the thermal sensors to identify transfer functions of heat flow used to calculate the control signal. The feedforward design avoids the very low control bandwidth that limits the performance of typical feedback designs.
