摘要:
A method for fabricating a microstructure array, such as a microlens array, and a mold for forming the microlens array, includes the steps of forming an array of microstructures with a curved profile in a discrete form on a substrate, and uniformly forming a continuous layer on the substrate and the discrete microstructures. Optically-unusable regions between the discrete microstructures, such as microlenses, can be readily reduced or eliminated by forming the continuous layer until flat portions between the microstructures disappear.

In a method of fabricating an array of microstructures, a substrate with an electrically-conductive portion is provided, an insulating mask layer is formed on the electrically-conductive portion of the substrate, a plurality of openings are formed in the insulating mask layer to expose the electrically-conductive portion, and a first plated or electrodeposited layer is deposited in the openings and on the insulating mask layer by electroplating or electrodeposition. A second plated layer is further formed on the first plated or electrodeposited layer and on the electrically-conductive portion by electroless plating to reduce a size distribution of microstructures over the array.

Disclosed herein is a process for producing a printed substrate, comprising a step of applying droplets of a liquid containing a material for a desired component to be formed on a substrate to the surface of the substrate to form the component on the substrate, wherein the process comprises, prior to the step of applying the droplets to the substrate surface, a step of subjecting the substrate to a surface treatment in such a manner that the contact angle of the droplet applied with the surface of the substrate falls within a range of from 20° to 50°.

In a method for fabricating an array of microstructures, a substrate with an electrically-conductive portion is provided, an insulating mask layer is formed on the electrically-conductive portion of the substrate, a plurality of openings are formed in the insulating mask layer to expose the electrically-conductive portion, and a first plated or electrodeposited layer is deposited in the openings and on the insulating mask layer by electro- or electroless-plating, or electrodeposition. At least a surface of the first plated or electrodeposited layer is made electrically conductive. After that, the insulating mask layer is removed, and a second plated layer is formed on the first plated or electrodeposited layer and on the electrically-conductive portion by electroplating to firmly fix the first plated or electrodeposited layer to the substrate.

A method for manufacturing a structure by using a silicon mold, in which disturbances in arrangement due to charges are reduced, can be provided.The method for manufacturing a structure includes the steps of forming a recessed portion in a silicon substrate, cleaning, drying, or conveying the silicon substrate while charges of a plurality of portions sandwiched between the recessed portion are removed, and filling a metal into the recessed portion of the silicon substrate subjected to the cleaning, drying, or conveying.
摘要:
A process for producing a liquid composition including a pigment and a stimuli-responsive dispersant, the pigment being contained in the liquid composition in a dispersed state, the process including (1) obtaining a solution dissolving the pigment in a first solvent and (2) mixing the solution with a second solvent, wherein the stimuli-responsive dispersant is contained in at least one solvent of the first and second solvents. The first solvent is an aprotic solvent. The second solvent is water or an aqueous solution.
摘要:
A pigment ink composition has high transparency and good color characteristics such as a high OD that are not inferior to those of dyes, even though pigment particles are used, and also has good weatherability and remaining ability on the coating and printing medium surface that are inherent to pigment particles. The pigment ink composition contains pigment particles including at least needle pigment particles, a dispersant, and a solvent. The needle pigment particles have a needle shape with an aspect ratio of at least 3, an average aspect ratio of at least 5 and at most 7, an average short dimension of at least 20 nm and at most 30 nm, and a distribution of short dimension with a standard deviation of 2.0 nm or less. The needle pigment particles are covered with the dispersant.
摘要:
A process for preparing a pigment dispersion, which comprises mixing a first solvent composed of an organic solvent in which a pigment has been dissolved with a second solvent which lowers the solubility of the pigment in the presence of a dispersant, thereby precipitating and dispersing particles of the pigment in a mixed solvent, wherein a pigment derivative to which a hydrophobic substituent having affinity for the first solvent has been bonded is used as the pigment.
