Abstract:
1. An apparatus for forming a pattern using a laser, the apparatus comprising: a pattern storing unit for storing data on light guide patterns of a discontinuous straight line shape to be formed in a light guide panel; a controller for reading out position signals of the light guide patterns to be formed in the light guide panel, from the pattern storing unit, and transmitting the read-out position signals to an X-Y driver and simultaneously, transmitting a switching signal, which is generated on the basis of length information of the light guide patterns, to a laser oscillating unit; the laser oscillating unit for outputting a laser beam synchronized with a movement of a header unit, on the basis of the switching signal received from the controller; the X-Y driver for moving the header unit and a stage, on the basis of the position signals received from the controller; the header unit moving along a first guide rail in the left and right direction of the light guide panel by way of the X-Y driver, and forming the light guide patterns in the light guide panel by vertically downwardly reflecting and concentrating the laser beam output from the laser oscillating unit; and the stage moving along a fixed second guide rail in the front and rear direction of the light guide panel by way of the X-Y driver, and fixing the light guide panel, wherein the light guide patterns are split and formed through many times by means of reciprocation of the stage.
