  • Patent number: 8865114
    Abstract: Provided are methods for producing nanostructures and nanostructures obtained thereby. The methods include heating a certain point of a substrate dipped into a precursor solution of the nanostructures so that the nanostructures are grown in a liquid phase environment without evaporation of the precursor solution. The methods show excellent cost-effectiveness because of the lack of a need for precursor evaporation at high temperature. In addition, unlike the vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) process performed in a vapor phase, the method includes growing nanostructures in a liquid phase environment, and thus provides excellent safety and eco-friendly characteristics as well as cost-effectiveness. Further, the method includes locally heating a substrate dipped into a precursor solution merely at a point where the nanostructures are to be grown, so that the nanostructures are grown directly at a desired point of the substrate. Therefore, it is possible to grow and produce nanostructures directly in a device.

  • Publication number: 20130341532
    Abstract: A system and method for curing ink are provided. The ink curing system includes: at least one laser generator that generates laser beams of different wavelength bands having selectivity of a depth direction toward a plurality of layers in order to cure the plurality of layers that are printed as a multilayer in a thickness direction of a substrate on the substrate; and a controller that controls operation of the laser generator. Thereby, even if a layer is formed as a multilayer, because a curing time, a curing degree, and strength on a layer basis can be applied while being efficiently adjusted, a phenomenon in which a printing quality failure occurs can be reduced remarkably more than the conventional art, and because a curing time can be shortened, productivity can be improved according to decrease of a tack time.
