  • Publication number: 20100139513
    Abstract: A method for forming fine patterns includes (S1) closely contacting a cliche-forming film to a hard mold concavely patterned, thereby making a disposable cliche; (S2) coating an elastic blanket cylinder with ink or resin; (S3) compressing the elastic blanket cylinder to the disposable cliche to remove ink or resin on a surface of the elastic blanket cylinder at a portion contacting with a relatively protruded embossed portion of the disposable cliche; and (S4) transcribing ink or resin remaining on the surface of the elastic blanket cylinder to a substrate. This method allows simple and fast works and greatly reduces costs by adopting a disposable cliche that may be easily installed and removed. Also, this method may be effectively utilized to form a fine pattern of an electronic device or a display device such as color filter and electrode.

  • Publication number: 20100126367
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for etching glass or metal using a negative photoresist and a method for fabricating a cliche using the same. In the method for etching glass or metal according to the present invention, since adhesion strength between the negative photoresist and the metal or the metal oxide is excellent, the photoresist layer is not corroded by the metal or metal oxide etching solution, it is unnecessary to produce an inverse photomask, the fabrication process is simple, and a low resolution light source such as mixed wavelength type light source is capable of being used, thus, economic efficiency is ensured.

  • Publication number: 20100089262
    Abstract: A method of printing fine patterns prints a fine pattern on a substrate using an elastic mold with an intaglio pattern. This method includes applying a fine pattern printing ink to a surface of a patterned elastic mold; removing the ink applied to an embossed portion of the elastic mold by closely adhering an ink removing unit having a polymer resin or an organic compound with a surface energy from <a surface energy of the ink?2 erg/cm2> to <the surface energy of the ink+erg/cm> to the surface of the elastic mold and then detaching the ink removing unit therefrom; and closely adhering the elastic mold to a substrate to transcribe the printing ink thereto. This method allows forming a fine pattern with good quality since the ink applied to the embossed portion of the elastic mold may be effectively removed during a gravure process.

  • Publication number: 20100064939
    Abstract: A siloxane based coating composition having excellent dyeability, abrasion resistance, glossiness and transparency, a preparation method thereof, and an optical lens coated by the coating composition are suggested. The siloxane based coating composition includes organo silane compound, inorganic oxide (H-index filler), solvent and a dyeing improving material. The dyeing improving material adopts nitric acid, hydrochloric acid, phosphoric acid, sodium nitrate, potassium nitrate, silver nitrate, or the like. The siloxane based coating composition shows excellent dyeability owing to the dyeing improving material, excellent abrasion resistance owing to the organo silane compound, and excellent glossiness and transparency, so it may be applied as a coating film on a surface of a plastic lens such as optical lens, industrial safety lens and leisure-purpose goggle that require high transparency.

  • Publication number: 20100028540
    Abstract: A method for forming a black matrix includes (S1) applying a black matrix-forming ink to an intaglio-patterned elastic mold; (S2) removing an ink applied to an embossed portion of the elastic mold; (S3) transcribing the ink remaining in an intagliated portion of the elastic mold to a substrate; and (S4) curing and drying the ink transcribed to the substrate. The step (S2) may be performed in a way of closely adhering a surface of an ink removing unit having a surface energy from <a surface energy of the ink?2 erg/cm2> to <the surface energy of the ink+8 erg/cm2> to the embossed portion of the elastic mold and then taking away the ink removing unit from the embossed portion. This method allows forming a black matrix in a simple and economic way by applying the gravure process.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a coating composition that can provide structural materials having hydrophilicity, excellent self-cleaning property and long service life. The present invention also discloses a method for preparing the composition, a substrate, such as a film or structural exterior material like vinyl sidings, with the applied coating composition, and a method to prepare a substrate with the coating composition. The coating composition has hydroxy group-containing inorganic particles that improve the initial hydrophilicity of conventional coating agents. Additionally, by using two types of inorganic particles having different particles diameters, the coating composition can form a hydrophilic coating layer having a contact angle with water of 30° or less.

  • Patent number: 7470954
    Abstract: A method and resultant device, in which metal nanoparticles are self-assembled into two-dimensional lattices. A periodic hole pattern (wells) is fabricated on a photoresist substrate, the wells having an aspect ratio of less than 0.37. The nanoparticles are synthesized within inverse micelles of a polymer, preferably a block copolymer, and are self-assembled onto the photoresist nanopatterns. The nanoparticles are selectively positioned in the holes due to the capillary forces related to the pattern geometry, with a controllable number of particles per lattice point.
