FIGs. 1 to 5 sequentially show methods for manufacturing a filter 100 for shielding electromagnetic interference according to an embodiment of the present invention. The filter 100 for shielding electromagnetic interference can be manufactured by using an offset printing device 500. The method for manufacturing the filter 100 for shielding electromagnetic interference will be
sequentially explained below with reference to FIGs. 1 to 5.
Firstly, FIG. 1 schematically shows a process in which a conductive paste 10a is discharged from a dispenser 51. An upper enlarged circle of FIG. 1 shows a magnified surface of a gravure roll 55 while a lower enlarged circle of FIG. 1 shows a surface contour of the gravure roll 55.
As illustrated in FIG. 1, the offset printing device 500 includes the dispenser 51, a doctor blade 53, the gravure roll 55, and a blanket roll 57. The offset printing process using the offset printing device 500 includes an off process and a set process. A conductive paste 10a is removed from the gravure roll 55 in the off process. The removed conductive paste 10a is coated on a glass substrate 20 in the set process. The dispenser 51 discharges the conductive paste 10a with a predetermined time interval. The conductive paste 10a discharged from the dispenser 51 is received in a groove 551 formed in the gravure roll 55. The conductive paste 10a may contain organic materials with elasticity, conductive metal, flux, binder and so on. Materials with a boiling point not less than 200 °C may be used as a flux and a glass frit may be used as a binder. The organic materials may contain acrylate resin, acryl resin, polyester, polyurethane, an oligomer, and so on. The organic materials are removed during plasticizing of the glass substrate 20. The conductive paste 10a may further contain a black pigment.
Since the conductive metal can absorb electromagnetic interference passing through the filter 100 for shielding electromagnetic interference, the effect of shielding electromagnetic interference is excellent. Silver, copper, nickel, or alloys thereof can be used as the conductive metals Since the above conductive metals have good electrical conductivity, they can effectively shield the electromagnetic interference.
As illustrated in the upper enlarged circle of FIG. 1, grooves 551 are formed on a surface of the gravure roll 55. The grooves 551 include first and second groove portions 5511 and 5513. The first and second groove portions 5511 and 5513 cross each other. The first and second groove portions 5511 and 5513 meet each other to form an angle αl. The angle αl may be in a range of 60 degrees to 120 degrees. If the angle αl is too large or too small, an opening ratio of the shielding member 10 (shown in FIG. 6) may become too small since a distance between the first and second groove portions 5511 and 5513 becomes too small. More preferably, the angle αl may be in a range of 80 degrees to 100 degrees. In this case, a distance between the first and second groove
portions 5511 and 5513 can be suitably maintained. In addition, most preferably, the angle αl is substantially 90 degrees.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the mesh-shaped shielding member 10 (shown in FIG. 6) is manufactured by using a gravure roll 55 (shown in FIG. 3) in which a mesh-shaped groove 551 is formed. If a rotating direction of the gravure roll 55 and a direction along which the groove 551 extends cross each other at a right angle, the conductive paste 10a received in the groove 551 is not removed well from the groove 551.
That is, since the conductive paste 10a is little influenced by a rotating power of the gravure roll 55, it is not easy to remove the conductive paste 10a from the gravure roll 55. On the contrary, if the rotating direction of the gravure roll 55 is the same as a direction along which the groove 551 extends, the conductive paste 10a can be removed well from the groove 551 by rotating power of the gravure roll 55. As illustrated in an upper enlarged circle of FIG. 1, the first groove portions 5511 neighboring each other and the second groove portions 5513 neighboring each other meet with each other to form a polygon 111. The polygon 111 substantially has a square shape. In this case, the shape of the shielding member 10 (shown in FIG. 6) is optimized, and thereby an effect of shielding electromagnetic interference can be maximized.
Lengths of the four edges forming the polygon 111 are substantially the same. Since lengths of the four edges are substantially the same, the shape of the shielding member 10 is regular. As a result, since the intensity of light emitted through an opening 105 (shown in FIG. 6) corresponding to the polygon 111 is uniform, a uniform image can be displayed. Meanwhile, the polygon 111 is shown to have a square shape in the enlarged circle of FIG. 1, this is merely to illustrate the present invention and the present invention is not limited thereto. Therefore, a polygon 111 with a different shape such as a rectangle, a lozenge shape, and so on can be formed. As illustrated in the upper enlarged circle of FIG. 1, a resolution of the display can be enhanced by forming a width W of the first groove portion 5511 be small and then maximizing the opening ratio. For this, the width W of the first groove portion 5511 may be over 0 and not more than 5OjMn. In this case, the shielding member 10 (shown in FIG. 6) formed by the first groove portion 5511 cannot be observed with a naked eye. If the width W of the first groove portion 5511 is too large, resolution of the display is deteriorated since an opening ratio is reduced. More specifically, the width W of the first groove
portion 5511 is preferably in a range of 15μm to 30/im.
Meanwhile, an average pitch P of the first groove portion 5511 may be over 0 and not more than 500μm. If the average pitch P of the first groove portion 5511 is too large, the electromagnetic interference may not be absorbed but is discharged outside since the shielding member 10 is not densely formed. As a result, an effect of shielding electromagnetic interference is reduced. More specifically, the average pitch P of the shielding member 10 is preferably in a range of 200μm to 400j«m.
If the groove is formed only along a direction corresponding to a rotating direction of the gravure roll, it is impossible to form a mesh-shaped shielding member as in the embodiment of the present invention. That is, the mesh has a rectangular shape. The conductive paste is difficult to transfer to the blanket roll since a groove should also be formed along a direction perpendicularly crossing the rotating direction of the gravure roll. As illustrated in the lower enlarged circle of FIG. 2, the first and second groove portions 5511 and 5513, which extend along an oblique direction and cross each other, are formed in the gravure roll 55. Therefore, since the groove portion is not formed along a direction perpendicular to a rotating direction of the gravure roll 55, the conductive paste 10a can be effectively transferred to the blanket roll 57.
The first groove portion 5513 extending along an oblique direction forms an angle α2 with a contact line J that is formed by the gravure roll 55 and the blanket roll 57 meeting each other. Here, the angle α2 may be in a range of 20 degrees to 70 degrees. If the angle α2 is too large or too small, the groove portion is formed along a direction immediately beside a direction to be parallel to the contact line J, and thereby the conductive paste 10a cannot be effectively transferred to the blanket roll 57. More specifically, the angle al may be in a range of 35 degrees to 55 degrees.
Next, FIG. 2 schematically shows a process of removing an overflowed conductive paste 10a from the groove 551.
As shown in FIG. 2, since an amount of the conductive paste 10a received in the groove 551 is large, the conductive paste 50a may overflow outside of the groove 551. Therefore, the overflowed conductive paste 10a is removed by the doctor blade 53 while the gravure roll 55 rotates along a direction indicated by an arrow (counterclockwise direction). Since the doctor blade 53 contacts an outer surface of the gravure roll 55, the conductive paste 10a that has overflowed outside of the groove 551 can be effectively removed.
Therefore, the conductive paste 10a can be suitably filled in the groove 551 of the gravure roll 55 without overflowing of the conductive paste 10a.
FIG. 3 schematically shows a process of transferring the conductive paste 10a received in the groove 551 to the blanket roll 57. As illustrated in FIG. 3, the blanket roll 57 is located opposed to the gravure roll 55. The blanket roll 57 rotates in a direction (clockwise direction) to be opposite to a rotating direction of the gravure roll 55. As a result, the conductive paste 10a received in the groove 551 is transferred to the blanket roll 57 when the gravure roll 55 meets the blanket roll 57. Therefore, the conductive paste 10a is attached to an outer surface of the blanket roll 57.
FIG. 4 schematically shows a process in which the blanket roll 57 coats the conductive paste 10a on the glass substrate 20.
As illustrated in FIG. 4, the blanket roll 57 coats the conductive paste 10a on a glass substrate while moving on the glass substrate 20 along a direction indicated by an arrow. Therefore, the mesh-shaped conductive paste 10a is formed on the glass substrate 20 for forming the shielding member 10 (shown in FIG. 1).
FIG. 5 schematically shows a process in which the glass substrate 20 coated with the conductive paste 10a is plasticized. The conductive paste 10a may also be dried before undergoing the plasticizing process.
As illustrated in FIG. 5, the glass substrate 20 is loaded into a heating furnace 90 to be heated at a temperature of a range of 500 °C to 540 °C, and thereby organic materials contained in the conductive paste 10a are removed as indicated by arrows. If the heating temperature of the glass substrate 20 is less than 500 ° C, organic materials contained in the conductive paste 10a are not removed well, and thereby electrical conductivity of the manufactured shielding member is too low. Therefore, the shielding member cannot perform the electromagnetic interference shielding function. On the contrary, if the heating temperature of the glass substrate 20 is over 540 ° C, shock resistance of the glass substrate 20, mostly formed of reinforced glass, is reduced. In an embodiment of the present invention, the glass substrate 20 is plasticized at a relatively Io w temperature. Since the shielding member is formed of a single layer, the glass substrate 20 can be plasticized at a relatively low temperature and the shock resistance of the glass substrate 20 can be maintained by preventing reinforcement of the glass substrate 20 from being reduced.
As described above, the glass substrate 20 is heated to remove the organic materials and the shielding member can be directly formed. That is, a
filter for shielding electromagnetic interference of a single layer is directly formed without performing other processes such as etching of the conductive paste 10a. Therefore, manufacturing cost of the filter for shielding electromagnetic interference can be reduced since the process is simple. Since an offset printing method used in manufacturing of the filter for shielding electromagnetic interference according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a plasticizing process, a resin substrate, which is vulnerable to heat, cannot be used in the offset printing method. Therefore, the glass substrate 20 is used instead of the resin substrate. Since other contents of the offset printing method can be understood by those skilled in the art, detailed description thereof is omitted.
When a filter for shielding electromagnetic interference is manufactured by using a photolithography method instead of an offset printing method, a copper film is firstly attached to a resin film. Next, a dry film resist is laminated on the copper film, and an exposing process, a developing process, an etching process, and an exfoliation process are performed to form a pattern. Therefore, the manufacturing process is complicated and the productivity is not good.
In addition, when a filter for shielding electromagnetic interference is manufactured by using a plating method, desired electric conductivity should be obtained by forming a pattern on the resin film and plating copper thereon. However, wasted liquid occurring during the plating causes environmental pollution.
A pattern cannot be directly formed on the glass substrate by using the above-described photolithography method or a plating method. For example, a mother substrate that is wound in a form of a roll is submerged in a plating bath of the plating method. However, since the glass substrate cannot be wound in a form of a roll, it is impossible to form a shielding member by plating a glass substrate. In addition, when the glass substrate is used, the process is complicated since the pattern should be attached to the glass substrate. The offset printing method can solve the above problem. That is, since the shielding member 10 of a single layer is directly formed on the glass substrate 20 in the offset printing method, the process is simplified to reduce manufacturing cost. On the contrary, since the shielding member formed of a plurality of layers is formed in a non-electrolytic plating method and so on, the manufacturing cost is high. Further, since harmful materials are not discharged in the offset printing method, pollution does not occur.

100 for shielding electromagnetic interference is magnified to be shown in an enlarged circle of FIG. 6.
As illustrated in FIG. 6, the filter 100 for shielding electromagnetic interference includes the glass substrate 20, the shielding member 10, an edge layer 30, and a ground member 40. The shielding member 10 is connected to the ground member 40 to be grounded. Therefore, the shielding member 10 can absorb electromagnetic interference to be removed. As a result, the shielding member 10 functions as a filter for shielding electromagnetic interference. The edge layer 30 is formed along an edge of the glass substrate 20, and the grounding member 40 is located at both ends of the glass substrate 20 along an x-axis direction in order to ground the shielding member 10. As illustrated in the enlarged circle of FIG. 6, the shielding member 10 is formed to be mesh-shaped. The filter 100 for shielding electromagnetic interference is mainly used in a display device. Accordingly, the shielding member 10 is formed to be mesh-shaped in order to display an image emitted from the display device to the outside. Since the shielding member 10 has openings 105, an image can be seen through the openings 105 while electromagnetic interference is shielded.
FIG. 7 shows a display device 200 provided with the filter 100 for shielding electromagnetic interference of FIG. 6. An enlarged circle of FIG. 7 shows an internal sectional structure of the display device 200. As shown in FIG. 7, the filter 100 for shielding electromagnetic interference is fixed on a display panel 600 by using a supporting member 110. Therefore, the filter 100 for shielding electromagnetic interference can be stably received in the display device 200.
An enlarged circle of FIG. 7 shows a plasma display panel as the display panel 600. The plasma display panel shown in the enlarged circle of FIG. 7 is merely to illustrate the present invention and the present invention is not limited thereto. Therefore, other display panels in which it is necessary to use the filter for shielding electromagnetic interference can be also used.
The display panel 600 includes first and second substrates 610 and 620, display electrodes 680, address electrodes 640, sidewalls 660, a phosphor layer 670, a dielectric layer 630, a protective layer 635, and a black layer 651. An internal space of the display panel 600 is filled with a discharge gas. The first
and second substrates 610 and 620 are opposed to each other. The side walls 660 form a plurality of discharge cells and a phosphor layer is formed in the discharge cells. The dielectric layer 630 protects the address electrodes 640 and the display electrodes 680 from electrons. The protective layer 635 protects the dielectric layer 630 located thereon.
When a voltage is applied to the address electrodes 640 and the display electrodes 680, a discharge occurs between the address electrodes 640 and the display electrodes 680. Ultraviolet rays generated by the discharge collide with the phosphor layer 670 and then visible rays are emitted therefrom. Meanwhile, the black layer 651 is formed on the sidewalls 660 to improve the contrast ratio. The black layer 651 is located between the first and second substrates 610 and 620. Since the black layer 651 is located on the sidewall 660 that does not emit light, it can reduce a loss of light emitted from the phosphor layer 670. As shown in the enlarged circle of FIG. 7, the filter 100 for shielding electromagnetic interference is located on the display panel 600. Therefore, the filter 100 for shielding electromagnetic interference can shield electromagnetic interference emitted from the display panel 600. Since the shielding member 10 contacts the second substrate 620 to be opposed thereto, it is not exposed to the outside. Therefore, the shielding member 10 can be prevented from being harmed and the appearance is prevented from being deteriorated due to the shielding member 10.
The present invention will be explained in detail with reference to the exemplary examples below. The exemplary examples are merely to illustrate the present invention and the present invention is not limited thereto. Exemplary Example 1
A conductive paste containing a high molecule resin at 7wt%, butylcarbitol acetate (BCA) at 7wt%, glass powder at 4wt%, silver at 80wt%, and a dispersion agent at 2wt% was manufactured. Here, the molecular weight of the high molecule resin was 25,000, where a ratio of weight of methyl acrylate (MA), butyl methacrylate (BM), hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA), and methyl methacrylate (MMA) was 30:20:10:40. The glass powder was a Bi- based glass powder and an average particle size thereof was 1.5/λπ. The silver had a sphere shape and the average particle size thereof was 1.0//m. An organic dispersion agent containing an amine group was used as the dispersion agent.
Exemplary Example 2
A conductive paste was manufactured by using a black pigment as a
mixture thereof without using a dispersion agent. The conductive paste contained glass powder at 3wt%, silver at 78wt%, and black pigment at 5wt%. A Co-based black pigment was used as the black pigment. The remaining experimental conditions were the same as those of the above-described Exemplary Example 1.
Exemplary Example 3
A conductive paste was manufactured without using a black pigment. The remaining experimental conditions were the same as those of the above described Exemplary Example 2 except for using BCA at 12wt%. Experimental Results
A mesh-shaped conductive paste was formed on the glass substrate by using an offset printing device that is the same as that shown in FIG. 1.
FIG. 8 is a photograph showing a state in which the above-described conductive paste was formed on the glass substrate. The left photograph of FIG. 8 shows a 200X enlarged conductive paste, while the right photograph of FIG. 8 shows a 1200X enlarged conductive paste. The width of the conductive paste was 20μm and the pitch thereof was 300/ira. Next, the conductive paste formed on the glass substrate was maintained at 500 °C for 15 minutes during a plasticizing process, and thereby organic materials were vaporized. FIG. 9 is a photograph showing a state in which a shielding member having undergone the plasticizing process was formed on the glass substrate. The left photograph of FIG. 9 shows a 200X enlarged shielding member, while the right photograph of FIG. 9 shows a 1400X enlarged shielding member. The width of the conductive paste was reduced to 15/im after the conductive paste had undergone the plasticizing process, and the pitch of 300 μm was maintained without a change.
Performance of the filters for shielding electromagnetic interference that were manufactured according to the above-described first to third exemplary examples was estimated. The estimations are shown in Table 1 below. [Table 1]
As shown in the above Table 1, light characteristics, electrical characteristics, mechanical characteristics, chemical characteristics, and black degree of the filter for shielding electromagnetic interference according to the first to third exemplary examples were all excellent. Therefore, the filter for shielding electromagnetic interference with a simple manufacturing method can be provided by using the offset printing method.
While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and detail may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
