Method for fabricating screens and apparatus for carrying out the method

摘要

A screen fabricating method capable of achieving an easy fabrication of screens and reducing the fabrication time while achieving an improvement in the resolution of patterns obtained. An apparatus for effectively carrying out the screen fabricating method is provided. The screen fabricating method includes the steps of coating a photosetting resin over a screen to be formed with a desired pattern, setting a portion of the photosetting resin corresponding to the pattern using an ultraviolet laser beam, cleaning the screen, and re-setting the photosetting resin. The apparatus includes a screen coated with a photosetting resin and adapted to have a desired pattern, an ultraviolet laser beam generating unit for generating an ultraviolet laser beam adapted to set the photosetting resin on the screen, an A/O modulator for shielding or opening a path for the ultraviolet laser beam, and a beam feeding and focusing unit for feeding the ultraviolet laser beam to the screen and focusing the fed ultraviolet laser beam on the screen.
