Abstract

A method for inkjet printing includes providing a light blocking member pattern including a plurality of openings at positions corresponding to pixels, dripping a dummy ink drop on the light blocking member pattern by using an inkjet printer, providing a CCD (charge-coupled device) image for the dripped dummy ink drop, representing the CCD image on rectangular coordinates, calculating a central point under an x-axis and a y-axis of the CCD image, calculating an escape value as a deviation of the central point under the x-axis and the y-axis in the CCD image from a reference point established by the inkjet printer, calculating a time adjustment value of the ink drip based on the escape value, and controlling the time for the ink drip for each nozzle of the inkjet printer by the time adjustment value of the ink drip.

Claims (31)

1. A method for inkjet printing, the method comprising:

providing a light blocking member pattern including a plurality of an opening at positions corresponding to pixels of a display device;

establishing a reference point for a drip of a dummy ink drop based on the openings;

dripping the dummy ink drop on a portion of the light blocking member pattern not including the openings, by using an inkjet printer;

providing a charge-coupled device image of the dripped dummy ink drop;

representing the charge-coupled device image on rectangular coordinates;

calculating a central point on an x-axis and a central point on a y-axis of the charge-coupled device image;

calculating an escape value as a distance the central point on the x-axis and the central point on the y-axis of the charge-coupled device image of the dripped dummy ink drop is deviated from the reference point, which is established by the inkjet printer;

calculating a time adjustment value of an ink drip on the basis of the escape value; and

controlling a time of the ink drip for each nozzle of the inkjet printer by the time adjustment value of the ink drip.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein

the dripping a dummy ink drop on the light blocking member pattern by using the inkjet printer is executed at substantially a same time or under the substantially a same condition as a process of disposing a color filter ink in the openings by inkjet printing.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein

the calculating a time adjustment value of an ink drip on the basis of the escape value includes:

dividing the distance on the y-axis by a moving speed of the each nozzle of the inkjet printer when a proceeding direction of the inkjet printer is substantially parallel to y-axis.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein

the reference point for the drip of the dummy ink drop established by the inkjet printer is determined with reference to a coordinate value of an edge or a center of an opening.

5. A method for inkjet printing, the method comprising:

establishing an ink drip position by an inkjet printer based on pixels of a display device;

dripping a dummy ink drop using the inkjet printer;

determining coordinates of a position of the dripped dummy ink drop;

calculating an escape value as a deviation of the dripped dummy ink drop from the established ink drip position;

calculating a time adjustment value of an ink drip on the basis of the escape value; and

controlling a timing of the ink drip for each nozzle of the inkjet printer on the basis of the time adjustment value of the ink drip.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein:

the calculating a time adjustment value of an ink drip on the basis of the escape value includes:

dividing the value of a y-axis direction by a moving speed of the nozzle of the inkjet printer, when a printing direction of the inkjet printer is parallel to the y-axis direction.

7. The method of claim 6 , further comprising,

before the dripping a dummy ink drop using the inkjet printer;

providing a light blocking member pattern including a plurality of openings corresponding to positions of pixels of a display device,

wherein the established ink drip position is determined with reference to a coordinate value of an edge or a center of the openings.
