Abstract

Disclosed are a printing plate and a mirror thereof, the printing plate including: printing portions for transferring an immersed solution, the printing portions being formed flat and arranged at regular intervals on one side of an upper part of the printing plate; and non-printing portions corresponding to a remaining area other than the printing portions, the non-printing portions being formed with at least two concavities and convexities respectively and arranged at regular intervals on the other side of the upper part of the printing plate.

Claims (23)

1. A printing plate comprising:

printing portions for transferring a solution, the printing portions each being formed smoothly so as to not include any bumps, the printing portions being arranged at regular intervals on an upper part of the printing plate; and

non-printing portions corresponding to a remaining area of the printing plate other than an area where the printing portions are disposed, the non-printing portions each being formed with a plurality of concavities and a plurality of convexities, the non-printing portions being arranged at regular intervals on the upper part,

a distance between adjacent ones of the convexities of the non-printing portions being smaller than a total length of one of the printing portions.

2. The printing plate as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the concavities and the convexities of the non-printing portions are formed in any one of a triangular shape, a quadrangular shape, and a semicircular shape.

3. The printing plate as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a surface energy of the concavities and the convexities of the non-printing portions is determined by any one of

the sizes of the concavities and the convexities of the non-printing portions,

the shapes of the concavities and the convexities of the non-printing portions,

the depths of the concavities and the convexities of the non-printing portions, and

the spacings of the concavities and the convexities of the non-printing portions.

4. The printing plate as claimed in claim 3 , wherein a material of the printing plate includes at least one of silicon, glass, quartz, organic materials, inorganic materials, and polymers.

5. The printing plate as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising an embossment and an intaglio forming a step height therebetween.

6. The printing plate as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the non-printing portions are formed in the embossment, and the printing portions are formed in the intaglio.

7. The printing plate as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the printing portions are formed in the embossment, and the non-printing portions are formed in the intaglio.

8. The printing plate as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the printing plate is used in any one of a gravure printing apparatus, a screen printing apparatus, and a micro-contact printing apparatus.

9. The printing plate as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the printing portions are arranged at the regular intervals on one side of the upper part, and the non-printing portions are arranged at the regular intervals on another side of the upper part.

10. The printing plate as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a surface of the printing plate is furthest away from each of the non-printing portions and the printing portions, the printing portions each being a distance from the surface, that is a smallest distance therebetween, that is equal to or greater than a distance from the surface to the non-printing portions.

11. The printing plate as claimed in claim 1 , wherein along a straight line, each of the printing portions is disposed between two of the non-printing portions.

12. A printing plate comprising:

printing portions for transferring a solution, the printing portions being formed smoothly so as to not include any bumps, the printing portions being arranged at regular intervals on an upper part of the printing plate; and

non-printing portions corresponding to a remaining area of the printing plate other than an area where the printing portions are disposed, the non-printing portions each being formed with a plurality of concavities and a plurality of convexities, the non-printing portions being arranged at regular intervals on the upper part,

a surface of the printing plate being furthest away from each of the non-printing portions and the printing portions, the printing portions each being a distance from the surface, that is a smallest distance therebetween, that is equal to or greater than a distance from the surface to the non-printing portions.

13. The printing plate according to claim 12 , wherein a distance between adjacent ones of the convexities of the non-printing portions being smaller than a total length of one of the printing portions.
