20150208487 | LIGHTING SWITCH APPARATUS AND LIGHTING SWITCHING METHOD - Disclosed herein are a lighting switch apparatus and a lighting switching method, which can perform lighting control by blocking or passing light from a lighting device using a user's hand motion while the user may make input to a lighting switch by means of a capacitive touch on the lighting switch. The lighting switch apparatus includes a capacitive touch sensing unit for recognizing a user's touch. A hand motion visible light receiving unit receives visible light from a lighting device depending on motion of the user's hand. A control unit generates a touch-based lighting control signal based on results of touch recognition, controls the hand motion visible light receiving unit so that the user's hand motion-based signal is output based on the results of touch recognition, and generates a lighting control command by combining the lighting control signal with the user's hand motion-based signal. | 07-23-2015 |

20120031290 | CLICHE, METHOD OF MANUFACTURING CLICHE, AND PATTERN FORMED BY ROLL PRINTING METHOD - The present invention relates to a cliché, a manufacturing method of a cliché, 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 cliché 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. | 02-09-2012 |
20120033172 | METHOD FOR FORMING PATTERN AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY DEVICE - 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. | 02-09-2012 |
20120058273 | INK COMPOSITION, AND METHOD OF FORMING PATTERN, COLOR FILTER AND METHOD OF PREPARING COLOR FILTER USING THE SAME - An ink composition, and a method of forming a pattern, a color filter and a method of manufacturing the color filter using the same. The ink composition includes a binder resin, a multifunctional monomer having an ethylenic unsaturated double bond, a coloring agent, a polymerization initiator containing a certain positive ion and a solvent. Therefore, the composition has excellent coating property and chemical resistance and also an improved adhesion to a printing member, and thus the ink composition may be useful in forming a precise micropattern using a roll printing method, particularly a reversed printing method. | 03-08-2012 |
20120231567 | METHOD OF FORMING METAL PATTERN AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING DISPLAY SUBSTRATE HAVING THE SAME - A method of forming a metal pattern includes forming a precursor layer including a metal precursor on a substrate, irradiating a light on the precursor layer to form a metal seed layer having a predetermined pattern, and electroless-plating the metal seed layer to form a metal pattern layer. | 09-13-2012 |
20130126578 | SUBSTRATE ALIGNING UNIT, SUBSTRATE PROCESSING APPARATUS HAVING THE SAME, AND METHOD OF ALIGNING SUBSTRATE USING THE SAME - 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. | 05-23-2013 |
