A high-sensitivity sensor containing cracks is provided. The high-sensitivity sensor is obtained by forming microcracks on a conductive thin film, which is formed on top of a support, wherein the microcracks form a micro joining structure in which the microcracks are electrically changed, short-circuited or open, thereby converting external stimuli into electric signals by generating a change in a resistance value. The high-sensitivity sensor can be useful in a displacement sensor, a pressure sensor, a vibration sensor, artificial skin, a voice recognition system, and the like.

The present invention relates to an optical film comprising a substrate on which an array of structures is formed, wherein a material having a different refractive index, absorbancy or reflectivity from that of a surface of the structures is partially coated on the surface of the structures, and a manufacturing method thereof. Specifically, the optical film according to one embodiment of the present invention may have a different transparency depending on the direction or can transmit light asymmetrically. Further, the optical film may be applicable to image devices, which need to change brightness or images depending on the angle of view or to display three-dimensional images.

Provided is a method of forming a nanostructure having a nano-sized diameter and a high aspect ratio through a simple and economical process. To form the nanostructure, a polymer thin film is formed on a substrate and a mold is brought to contact the polymer thin film. Then, a polymer patterning is formed to contact the background surface of an engraved part of the mold, and then the polymer pattern is extended out by removing the mold out of the polymer thin film. The nanostructure forming method of the present research can reproduce diverse cilia optimized in the natural world. Also, it can be used to develop new materials with an ultra-hydrophobic property or a high adhesiveness. Further, it can be applied to a nanopattern forming process for miniaturizing electronic devices and to various ultra-precise industrial technologies together with carbon nanotube, which stands in the highlight recently.
