Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of preparing a photochromic film or plate comprising printing a photochromic substance in the unit of an independent spot on a part or the whole of a basic material and forming a protective layer on the basic material, on which the photochromic substance is coated, so as to protect the photochromic substance. According to the present invention, the photochromic substance is printed in the unit of an independent spot so that the printed unit spots are isolated from each other, thereby prolonging the life of the photochromic substance.

Abstract: Provided is a spin coating apparatus having a ring-shaped or polygonal auxiliary member for use in manufacture of a coated substrate via spin coating, wherein the auxiliary member is positioned adjacent to the side of a substrate for coating, within a range of a spaced distance of 0.03 to 0.8 mm and a range of a height deviation of less than 0.1 mm, upon mounting the substrate. When a surface of a substrate for coating is spin coated with a coating agent using the apparatus of the present invention, it is possible to eliminate or effectively reduce a ski-jump phenomenon at end portions of a coated substrate occurring when spin coating is performed, thereby resulting in uniform coating of a coating solution on the substrate, and it is also possible to effectively decrease contamination of the substrate for coating due to inflow or stay of the remaining coating agent.

Abstract: A suspension assembly installed on an end of a swing arm and elastically biasing a slider with a read/write head toward a surface of a disk in a disk drive. The suspension assembly includes a load beam coupled to the one end of the swing arm, a flexure coupled to the load beam and supporting the slider, and a hook limiter having a fixed end fixed to the flexure, and a free end extending toward a front end of the load beam and spaced a predetermined distance from the load beam.

Abstract: There is provided an apparatus for optical disc spin-coating, comprising a cap having a tapered protruding portion or a recess in its central lower portion; a turntable for rotation that has a tapered recess or protruding portion formed in an end of its central axis that is inserted into a center hole of an optical disc, wherein the tapered recess or protruding portion of the turntable is coupled with the tapered protruding portion or recess of the cap in a convexo-concave structure; and a vacuum hole formed in an optical disc support of the turntable. When the cap is eccentrically placed on the optical disc, the cap can be easily attached. In addition, the cap can be easily detached from the optical disc by using vacuum pressure. As a result, the operability and manufacturing efficiency can be increased.

Abstract: An air bearing slider of a disk drive for moving a read/write head to a desired position on a disk by being lifted above a surface of the disk includes a body having a surface facing the disk. A first rail base protrudes from the surface of the body facing the disk and has a U shape open to a trailing end portion of the body. A first positive pressure generating rail portion protrudes from the first rail base and includes a cross rail separated from a leading end portion of the first rail base and extending in a first direction perpendicular to a direction in which air enters and a pair of side rails extending from both ends portion of the cross rail in a second direction parallel to the direction in which air enters. A negative pressure cavity is defined by the first rail base. A second rail base protrudes from the surface of the body facing the disk adjacent to the trailing end portion of the body. A second positive pressure generating rail portion protrudes from the second rail base.

Abstract: A hard disk drive having an air flow accelerator for improving taking-off and landing of a slider on a surface of a disk. The hard disk drive includes a spindle motor and a disk for storing data which is rotated by the spindle motor. The slider includes a magnetic head for recording and reproducing data and is mounted on a pivotable actuator. The air flow accelerator is provided within an inner circumference of the disk and rotates together with the disk. The device may be formed integral with a disk clamp, the spindle motor, a disk spacer, the disk, or as a separate member. At least one blade extends in a radial direction from a center of rotation of the disk with the blade being curved in a direction opposite a rotation direction of the disk. The accelerated air flow restricts damage of the magnetic head and the disk.

Abstract: A suspension and an actuator with the same for a hard disk drive. A suspension includes a load beam having one end portion coupled to a swing arm and another end portion from which a dimple protrudes in a direction toward a disk, and a flexure having one end portion fixed to a surface of the load beam opposing the disk and another end portion in contact with the dimple. A part of the another end portion of the load beam from the dimple in a direction away from the one end portion is bent in a direction opposite to a protruding direction of the dimple, so as to widen a space between the another end portion of the load beam and the another end portion of the flexure.

Abstract: A head parking ramp for a hard disk drive (HDD). The head parking ramp is designed to park a read/write head off a disk of the HDD when the disk stops rotating. The head parking ramp includes a fixed part fixed to a base member, a support part having a support surface and supporting an end-tab, and a flexure limiter limiting a vertical movement of a flexure due to an external shock. Among both longitudinal ends of each of top and bottom surfaces of the flexure limiter facing the flexure, first inclined surfaces are formed on at least the ends opposite to the disk. Accordingly, even though the flexure contacts the flexure limiter when an actuator is assembled with the ramp, the flexure is prevented from being deformed.
