  • Patent number: 12365190
    Abstract: A method for forming a resist fine pattern uses inkjet printing for printing an ink along a path to form a resist fine pattern on a substrate having the same surface energy. The method includes an ejecting step of simultaneously discharging a photocurable resist ink and a partition-forming ink that are spaced from each other on the front side and the rear side of the path and applying the light energy to the discharged photocurable resist ink. The intensity of light is set so that, as the photocurable resist ink is semi-cured and is ejected on the substrate in a gelatinous state, the ink forms a boundary that is vertical with respect to the partition-forming ink ejected on the substrate and the spreading of the photocurable resist ink is prevented, and the photocurable resist ink is cured after both the photocurable resist ink and the partition-forming ink are completely ejected.

  • Publication number: 20250058569
    Abstract: In a method for forming a thick layer of a thickness on a substrate by using an inkjet printing apparatus comprising a head module for ejecting an ink, a dot print layer is formed such that dot-shaped arrays are formed at predetermined intervals in order to prevent ink droplets, which are deposited on the substrate, from pulling each other, ink is ejected in an amount enabling a thick coating of uniform thickness to be overlapped and printed on the dot print layer, thereby forming a thick print layer with the thickness.

  • Patent number: 11718093
    Abstract: An inkjet printing method may includes a dot pattern printing process of printing a dot pattern group by discharging ink at a preset position of a surface of an object using a nozzle group for forming a dot pattern so that dropped droplets are not in overlap with each other, a connection pattern printing process of printing a connection pattern group by discharging ink at a position between neighboring patterns using a nozzle group for forming a connection pattern so that the same attractive force acts to the neighboring patterns dropped on the surface of the object, and a finishing printing process of finishing a coating of the surface of the object by discharging ink to an area except for neighboring dropped droplets using a nozzle group for finishing so that the same attractive force act to the dropped droplets that are dropped on the surface of the object.

  • Publication number: 20230156925
    Abstract: A method for forming a conductive fine pattern according to an embodiment forms a conductive fine pattern on a substrate having identical surface energy by using inkjet printing for printing ink along a path. The method includes a droplet ejection process of simultaneously performing, discharging photocurable ink at the front side of the path, discharging volatile ink containing minute metal particles at the rear side of the path, and applying light energy to the discharged photocurable ink. The light energy is configured to have a light intensity such that: the photocurable ink is semi-cured and ejected in a gel state on the substrate, and thus forms a boundary with liquid volatile ink ejected on the substrate; and the photocurable ink is completely cured after the ejection of both the photocurable ink and the volatile ink is completed.
