Method for manufacturing printed product by aligning and printing fine particles

摘要

Provided is method of preparing a printed matter with a printed array of particles, the method including: (a) preparing a template, a surface of which has depressions or projections capable of fixing the positions and/or orientations of one or more particles; (b) placing the particles on the template and applying a physical pressure to the particles so that a portion or the whole of each particle is inserted in each of pores defined by the depressions or the projections to form a particle array; and (c) contacting the template having thereon the particle array to a printing substrate so that the particle array is transferred to the printing substrate. Provided is also a method of preparing a printed matter with a printed array of particles, the method including: (a) preparing a template, at least a surface portion of which has adhesive property; (b) placing particles on the template and applying a physical pressure to the particles so that the particles are immobilized on adhesive surface portions of the substrate to form a particle array; and (c) contacting the template having thereon the particle array to a printing substrate so that the particle array is transferred to the printing substrate.

1. A method of preparing a printed matter with a printed array of particles, the method comprising:
(a) preparing a template, a surface of which has depressions or projections capable of fixing the positions and/or orientations of one or more particles; (b) placing the particles on the template and applying a physical pressure to the particles so that a portion or the whole of each particle is inserted in each of pores defined by the depressions or the projections to form a particle array; and (c) contacting the template having thereon the particle array to a printing substrate so that the particle array is transferred to the printing substrate; or the method comprising: (a) preparing a template, at least a surface portion of which has adhesive property; (b) placing particles on the template and applying a physical pressure to the particles so that the particles are immobilized on adhesive surface portions of the substrate to form a particle array; and (c) contacting the template having thereon the particle array to a printing substrate so that the particle array is transferred to the printing substrate; wherein the methods further comprise removing particles randomly placed on the particle array of step (b) using an adhesive member.
