  • Patent number: 8678299
    Abstract: A hollow actuator-driven droplet dispensing apparatus may include an elastic tube having an elastic body, defining a storage space therein, and extending a predetermined length, and a hollow actuator fitted around the elastic tube so as to generate a force and a displacement in the longitudinal direction when an electric field is applied. The hollow actuator is expanded or contracted in the longitudinal direction of the elastic tube when the external voltage is applied, thereby reducing or enlarging the volume of an inner space of the elastic tube. The droplet dispensing apparatus can press the elastic tube to expand or contract the volume of the inner space of the tube using the hollow actuator capable of quickly generating a displacement in response to an application voltage so that a fixed amount of content can be discharged out and taken into the tube.

  • Patent number: 7879536
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method for forming a pattern, comprising: attaching a single-layer or multi-layer dry film resist made of a semi-solid or solid material to part or all of the surface of a substrate; exposing the dry film resist to light either by irradiating a focusable energy beam directly onto the resist or by projecting a specific wavelength range of light onto the resist, to form a region to be filled with a functional material; charging the functional material into the formed region using a method such as inkjetting; drying the functional material; and removing the dry film resist, thus obtaining the desired pattern.

  • Publication number: 20090097995
    Abstract: A syringe pump is disclosed, which uses the linear actuator applying a linear motion of a piezoelectric linear motor in moving the piston, such that suction and exhaustion of the fluid can be performed more precisely through controlling of power supply with respect to the piezoelectric linear motor. The syringe pump includes a cylinder which includes a receiving space, a piston which is mounted in the cylinder to pump liquid or powder in and out of the cylinder, and a piezoelectric linear actuator which moves the piston in a reciprocating manner. In addition, the piezoelectric linear actuator comprises a piezoelectric linear motor.
