A substrate aligning unit includes a first driving roll, a second driving roll, a web guider, an encoder roll, and a controller. The first driving roll transfers a substrate in a first direction. The second driving roll is disposed spaced apart from the first driving roll in the first direction and transfers the substrate in the first direction. The web guider controls a position of the substrate in a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction. The encoder roll senses the position of the substrate to generate a sensing signal. The controller controls the first driving roll, the second driving roll, and the web guider based on the sensing signal.

Substrate aligning unit, substrate processing apparatus having the same, and method of aligning substrate using the same

The present invention relates to a clich&#xe9;, a manufacturing method of a clich&#xe9;, and a pattern formed by a roll printing method to prevent deteriorations due to sagging and a disconnection of an end portion or a rounded angular portion, the clich&#xe9; having a surface formed with a groove, wherein the end portion of the groove has a narrower width than the width of the center portion of the groove.

Clich&#xe9;, method of manufacturing clich&#xe9;, and pattern formed by roll printing method

A roll-to-roll printing system includes driven rolls to apply a feeding force to a flexible substrate so that the flexible substrate is fed from an unwinder to a rewinder, nip rolls respectively disposed above two opposite end portions of each of the driven rolls to pressurize two opposite side portions of the flexible substrate, nip roll driving motors connected to the nip rolls to rotate the nip rolls, and a control unit to receive information regarding change of torque values of the nip roll driving motors and control tension of the flexible substrate based on the information.

Roll-to-roll printing system

A printing plate cleaning apparatus may include a cleaning chamber configured to receive a printing plate to be cleaned, a nozzle supporter in the cleaning chamber, and/or a unified nozzle unit that includes a cleaning nozzle unit and a rinsing nozzle unit unified as a body and attached to the nozzle supporter. The cleaning nozzle unit may include a cleaner nozzle configured to inject cleaner to the printing plate and/or a first suction nozzle suctioning waste. The rinsing nozzle unit may include a rinsing liquid nozzle configured to inject rinsing liquid to the printing plate and/or a second suction nozzle suctioning the waste. A printing plate cleaning apparatus may include the cleaning chamber, a cleaning nozzle unit in the cleaning chamber, and/or a rinsing nozzle unit in the cleaning chamber. The cleaning and rinsing nozzle units may be configured to move together with each other in the cleaning chamber.

Cleaning apparatuses for printing plates and printing apparatuses including the same

According to example embodiments, a roll printing apparatus includes a cleaning device in which a cleaning nozzle unit and a spray nozzle unit are integrated so that both a reverse offset process and a cliche cleaning process may be achieved in the roll printing apparatus. The roll printing apparatus may include a base plate, a blanket roll to transfer an ink material to a cliche and a substrate, a blanket roll supporter located on the base plate to support the blanket roll, a cliche table located on the base plate to fix and move the cliche, a substrate table located on the base plate to fix the substrate, and the cleaning device installed on the base plate to clean the cliche. The cleaning device may include a cleaning nozzle unit to spray a cleaning solution and a spray nozzle unit to spray DIW, which are integrated.

Roll printing apparatus

Disclosed is a substrate alignment apparatus capable of performing coarse and fine alignments of a substrate in a progressing route to remove or reduce an alignment error between the substrate and a pattern roll. The coarse alignment may be performed by moving a frame using a stage when the alignment error is relatively large, and the fine alignment may be performed by moving subsidiary rollers of a roller unit relative to a main roller of a roller unit when the alignment error is relatively small. An example substrate alignment apparatus may include a frame and a roller unit rotatably fixed to the frame to support a substrate, wherein the roller unit includes a main roller, and at least one subsidiary roller fixed to the main roller such that the at least one subsidiary roller can move relative to the main roller to align the substrate.

High speed and fine substrate alignment apparatus in roll to roll system

A method of forming a pattern and a manufacturing method of a liquid crystal display includes forming the pattern with a thin thickness by coating a pattern material on a printing roll using a nozzle, removing a surplus portion of the pattern material from the printing roll by using a plate, and transferring the pattern material remaining on the printing roll to a substrate to form the pattern.

Method for forming pattern and method for manufacturing liquid crystal display device

In forming a pattern on a substrate with reduced pattern error using a mold having an area smaller than an area of the substrate, a first resin pattern is formed on at least a first of a plurality of regions of an etching object layer by imprinting resin applied to the etching object layer using a first mold The etching object layer is then etched using the first resin pattern as an etching mask. A second resin pattern is formed on at least a second of the plurality of regions by imprinting resin applied to the etching object layer using a second mold. The etching object layer is again etched using the second resin pattern as an etching mask.

Nano-imprint lithography methods

Disclosed herein is a roll-to-roll patterning apparatus and a patterning system using the same. The patterning system may include a supply roll to supply a film member, a recovery roll to recover the film member, and a roll-to-roll patterning apparatus forming a coating on the film member. The roll-to-roll patterning apparatus may include a pattern roller, a plurality of press rollers, and an alignment roller. The pattern roller may include an outer peripheral surface with a first pattern. The plurality of press rollers may press a film member against the pattern roller to form a second pattern on the film member. The alignment roller may be spaced apart from the pattern roller and may be arranged at an upstream position in a movement direction of the film member. The alignment roller may align the film member entering a region between the pattern roller and the plurality of press rollers.
