Printing plate, method of manufacturing of printing plate and liquid crystal display device using the same
View Patent ↗A printing plate to form a precise pattern, a method for manufacturing the printing plate, and a method for fabricating an LCD device using the printing plate in which the printing plate includes a substrate having at least one trench and sidewall elements formed at an inner perimeter of the at least one trench.
1. A printing plate for roll printing, the printing plate comprising:
a substrate having a trench, the trench comprising an inner trench surface having a vertical cross sectional shape of a semicircle;
a sidewall element comprising a first sidewall surface and a second sidewall surface different from the first sidewall surface,
wherein the first sidewall surface is directly contacted to the inner trench surface, and the second sidewall surface is disposed substantially perpendicular to a surface of the substrate.
2. The printing plate of claim 1 , wherein the sidewall element comprises photoresist.
3. The printing plate of claim 1 , further comprising a mask layer formed on the sidewall elements and on a surface of the substrate adjacent to the trench.
4. The printing plate of claim 3 , wherein the mask layer comprises a single-layered structure comprising one of chrome Cr, molybdenum Mo, copper Cu or indium-tin-oxide ITO.
5. The printing plate of claim 3 , wherein the mask layer comprises a dual-layered structure comprising one or more of chrome Cr, molybdenum Mo, copper Cu or indium-tin-oxide ITO.
6. The printing plate of claim 1 , wherein a top surface of the sidewall element is the same plane with the surface of the substrate.
