Abstract: Provided is a method for not only reducing peeling in a post-process of a common layer (HTL) but also increasing display reliability and lifespan by implementing a colored pattern having a constant roughness value on an electrode substrate, wherein the method is also for ensuring vivid colors and increasing display reliability and lifespan by implementing a colored pattern having a low moisture content on an electrode substrate, thereby minimizing the generation of moisture in the panel state.

Abstract: The present disclosure is not only to ensure vivid colors but also to increase display reliability and lifespan by implementing a colored pattern with low outgas amount and moisture content on an electrode substrate; in other words, since it may cause a decrease in luminance and a decrease in lifespan due to pixel shrinkage if the amount of outgas in the panel after post-heat treatment is 15 ppm or more, or the moisture content is 50 ppm or more, the present disclosure is to minimize the generation of outgas and the moisture content in the panel state by maintaining sufficient heat and time and generating sufficient fume in the post-heat treatment step in order to minimize the outgas amount and moisture content after completing the post-heat treatment process by including a colorant according to the present disclosure.

Abstract: Provided is a method for ensuring vivid colors and increasing display reliability and lifespan by implementing a colored pattern with high optical density on an electrode substrate, where the method uses a pigment dispersion in which a pigment having a size of 100 nm or less is used in order to increase the optical density and reduce roughness after completing the post-heat treatment process by including a colorant according to the present disclosure, and the method can minimize the reduction in the lifespan due to moisture in the panel state by minimizing the moisture content after completing the post-heat treatment process.

Abstract: Disclosed are a method of preventing overheating of a fuser assembly and an apparatus using the same. The method of preventing overheating of a fuser assembly includes inspecting whether a temperature of a fuser assembly is higher than a predetermined temperature. If the temperature of the fuser assembly is higher than the predetermined temperature it is determined whether there is a print command. A print sheet is passed through the fuser assembly, and conveyed to a predetermined location when there is no print command. The temperature is again inspected if there is no print command. If the temperature is lower than the predetermined temperature it is determined whether a predetermined time has lapsed. The temperature is again inspected if the predetermined time did not lapse.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for controlling the temperature of a heat roller and an image forming apparatus based on the same. The image forming apparatus of the present invention includes: a heat roller for heating a printing paper having a toner image formed thereon to completely fuse the toner image to the printing paper; a heat lamp for heating the heat roller; and a controller for controlling the driving of the heat lamp, whereby the heat roller is maintained at a designated target temperature level during a pre-printing period. As such, it becomes possible to prevent a problem with the fusing process caused by low temperature of the heat roller during the pre-printing period for subsequent printing.
