Abstract:
A method of forming a pattern by using an imprint process includes: forming an adhesion promoting layer only in a pattern formation region on a substrate; coating a resin to cover the substrate and the adhesion promoting layer; transferring a pattern of a stamp mold to the resin covering the substrate and the adhesion promoting layer, by pressing the stamp mold onto the resin; irradiating ultraviolet light onto the resin covering the substrate and the adhesion promoting layer, to cure the resin and form a pattern of the cured resin to correspond to the pattern of the stamp mold, on the substrate; and detaching the stamp mold from the substrate, to leave a portion of the cured resin pattern only on the adhesion promoting layer on the substrate and to remove a remaining portion of the cured resin pattern from the substrate.

The 2D/3D switchable backlight unit includes: a light source unit; a first light guide plate, within which light from the light source unit is totally internally reflected; and a plurality of refraction patterns, each having a trapezoidal form. The light source unit may include a first light source and a second light source.
Abstract:
A patterning method using an imprint mold, to form an imprinted pattern structure, includes providing a resist layer from which the pattern structure will be formed, performing a first imprint process on a first area of the resist layer by using the imprint mold to form a first pattern of the pattern structure through deformation of the resist layer in the first area, and performing a second imprint process on a second area of the resist layer by using the imprint mold to form a second pattern of the pattern structure through deformation of the resist layer in the second area. The first and second areas are overlapped with each other in a third area of the resist layer, and the performing the second imprint process deforms a first portion of the first pattern in the third area to form the second pattern
Abstract:
An imprinting apparatus includes: a coating unit which coats a substrate with ink including a photocurable resin in a diluent; a pressing unit which presses the ink with an imprint stamp including an uneven pattern; and a light source which irradiates light to the ink, which is in a pressed state, and cures the photocurable resin. The coating unit, the pressing unit and the light source move relative to the substrate in a processing direction. The coating unit is located ahead of the pressing unit in the processing direction.
