  • For mass production of electronic devices, the processing of the printing roll is one of the most important key technologies for printed electronics technology. A roll of printing process, the gravure printing that is used to print the electronic device is most often used. The indirect laser processing has been used in order to produce printing roll for gravure printing. It consists of the following processing that is coating of photo polymer or black lacquer on the surface of printing roll, pattering using a laser beam and etching process. In this study, we have carried out study on the coating and etching for $25{\mu}m$ line width on the printing roll. To do this goals, a $4{\mu}m$ coating thickness and 20% average coating thickness of the coating homogeneity of variance is performed. The factors to determine the thickness and homogeneity are a viscosity of coating solution, the liquid injection, the number of injection, feed rate, rotational speed, and the like. After the laser patterning, a line width of $25{\mu}m$ or less was confirmed to be processed through etching and the chromium plating process.

  • The polarizer is an important optical element used in a variety of applications. Nano-wire grid polarizers in the form of sub-wavelength metallic gratings are an attractive alternative to conventional polarizers, because they provide high extinction ratio. This study has been carried out to fabrication of the 17inch area size nano-wire grid polarizer(NWGP) The master for NWGPs with a pitch of 200nm and the area size $730mm{\times}450mm$ were fabricated using laser interference lithography and aluminum sputtering and wet etching. And The NWGP fabrication process was using by the Roll to-Roll UV imprinting and was applied to flexible PET film. The results were a transmission of light (Tp) 46.7%, reflectance (Rs) 40.1% and Extinction ratio of above 16 for the visible light range.

  • The roll-to-roll (R2R) fabrication method to make micro-scale pillar arrays for biomimetic functionalization of surfaces is presented. Inspired by the micro-structure of plants in nature, a surface with a synthetic micro-scale pillar array is fabricated via maskless photolithography. After the surface is SAM (self-assembled monolayer) coated with trichlorosilane in a vacuum desiccator, it displays a hydrophobic property even in R2R replicas of original substrate, whose properties are further characterized using various pitches and diameters. In order to perform a comparison between the original micro-pattern and its replicas, surface morphology was analyzed using scanning electron microscopy and wetting characteristics were measured via a contact angle measurement tool with a $10{\mu}L$ water droplet. Efficient roll-to-roll imprinting for a biomimetic functionalized surface has the potential for use in many fields ranging from water repelling and self-cleaning to microfluidic chips.

  • Currently, active research is being performed on printing of electronic devices such as RFID devices, flexible displays, solar cells, and e-paper. This technique has several advantages over existing technologies such as lithography and etching. In particular, RFID devices, flexible displays, solar cells, and e-paper require flexibility and a mass production system. Thus, attention is being focused on the roll-to-roll process. High quality should be guaranteed in the roll-to-roll printed electronics systems, and good thickness and roughness qualities must be ensured. Experimental design was applied to this problem to analyze the main effects and interaction effects of various factors. Matching technology between the nip roll characteristics and the quality of the print pattern in roll-to-roll printed electronics systems was proposed to improve the printing quality.

  • It is essential to predict the deformed roll profile for the prediction of the strip profile in rolling process. The work roll of the Sendzimir mill has a small diameter in comparison to a barrel length, so that it is well deformed by the rolling pressure. Also it has a complex roll system, so it is difficult to analyze the roll deflection. In this paper, 3D finite element method is used for the analysis of the roll deflection of the Sendzimir due to the contact between rolls. But it takes much time to get the results, so that the on-line model to evaluate the radial deformation of a roll is developed on the basis of the finite element method.

  • This study proposes a method for identifying correlations between tension and drop height for sessile droplets in a roll-to-roll processing system. The effect of tension and drop height on the contact angle of a sessile droplet is presented. Design of experiment (DOE) methodology and statistical analysis are used to define a correlation between the process parameters. The contact angle is decreased while increasing tension and drop height. The influence of the tension is less significant on the contact angle compared with the effect of the drop height. However, tension should be considered as a major parameter because it is not easy to fix with roll eccentricity and compensating speed of the driven roll. The results of this study show that the effect of tension on the contact angle of a sessile droplet is more important than drop height because the drop height is fixed when the process systems are determined.

  • The purpose of this study is to produce a side impact beam with high tensile steel using a roll forming process. The door side impact beam plays an important roll in a car because it protects passengers from external crash. The roll forming process is a continuous bending process wherein a long metal sheet is bended as it continuously passes several rolls. The characteristic of this study is that an impact beam is produced by a continuous process using a ultra high strength steel without a hardening heat treatment. A model was determined by analysing plasticity of a cross section shape considering high strength. Design parameters of the impact beam was determined by crash-analysing the model. Workpiece products were manufactured by designing dies for roll forming and setting them up in a following process line. Results of a bending test and a FEM analysis was considered and reviewed.

  • This study was investigated the effect of carbon on the micro-structure and hardness of ductile cast iron roll with internal curing capacity. Spheroidal graphite existed at roll body with rapid cooling, but granular graphite existed at roll neck with slow cooling. The volume fraction of graphite increased at roll body with rapid cooling, That of roll neck with slow cooling decreased, but graphite size increased. The volume fraction of cementite decreased, but volume fraction increased. The cementite size was larger at roll neck than roll body. The hardness was decreased at roll body and roll neck due to volume fraction of cementite. The hardness of roll body was higher than roll neck.
