Abstract:
1. A printing head for nano patterning including; a cartridge which has an injection chamber having an opening at a lower side of the cartridge; a manifold for accommodating liquid printing material, the manifold being formed at an inner space of the cartridge to communicate with the injection chamber through a hole; a sample holder for patterning installed outside the injection chamber of the cartridge; a shadow mask which is installed outside the injection chamber to be finely moved in an X-Y direction and has a single injection hole, the shadow mask covering the opening of the injection chamber and slidably mounted on the cartridge; an actuator for finely moving the shadow mask, the actuator being mounted at the cartridge and connected to the shadow mask; an injection-inducing unit for generating induced discharge from the injection chamber toward the sample holder; and a control unit for controlling the driving of the actuator so that the injection hole of the shadow mask can be moved to patterning positions corresponding to patterning data input in advance; wherein the injection-inducing unit comprises: a high voltage generator; a vibration diaphragm that is installed within the injection chamber and receives power from the high voltage generator to generate positive charges; an opposite electrode for generating negative charges on the sample holder in a state where the shadow mask is interposed between the vibration diaphragm and the opposite electrode; a piezoelectric element attached to the vibration diaphragm for generating high vibration in the vibration diaphragm; and a high frequency generator connected to the piezoelectric element for applying high frequency to the piezoelectric element.
