Abstract

Provided are a porous structure for forming anti-fingerprint coating capable of providing a self-cleaning function to a surface of a substrate, a method of forming anti-fingerprint coating using the same, an anti-fingerprint coated substrate prepared by the same method, and a product including the same. When the porous structure including a lipolytic enzyme is formed on the surface of the substrate, contaminants decomposed by an enzyme are absorbed into a pore, and thus anti-fingerprint coating may be more effectively performed to remove detectable contamination from a surface of the substrate. As a result, contamination by fingerprints on the surface of a display device, the appearance of an electronic device, or building materials can be effectively reduced.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method of forming an anti-fingerprint coating for a display device, comprising:
providing a substrate of the display device, which is selected from plastic or glass; and
forming a porous structure on a surface of the substrate to obtain the anti-fingerprint coating,
wherein the porous structure includes a lipolytic enzyme, and
wherein the display device is selected from the group consisting of a liquid crystal display device (LCD), an organic light emitting diode (OLED), and a plasma display device panel (PDP).

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the lipolytic enzyme is a lipase.

3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the porous structure further comprises at least one enzyme selected from the group consisting of a protease, an amylase, a cellulase, and a lactase.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the plastic includes at least one polymer selected from the group consisting of polyester, polypropylene, polyethyleneterephthalate, polyethylenenaphthalate, polycarbonate, triacetylcellulose, olefin copolymers, and polymethylmethacrylate.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the lipolytic enzyme is introduced to the porous structure by an adsorption, covalent bonds or an encapsulation.

6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the covalent bonds are formed through a process including treating the surface of the substrate including the porous structure having at least one functional group selected from the group consisting of amino, amide, carboxyl, aldehyde, hydroxyl and thiol groups with a solution including a bifunctional cross-linker; and dipping the substrate in a buffer including the lipolytic enzyme.

7. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the covalent bonds are formed through a process including dipping the substrate including the porous structure having an epoxy group in a buffer including the enzyme.

8. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the encapsulation is performed by coating the surface of the substrate with a gel matrix, a microcapsule, a hollow fiber or a membrane, and introducing the lipolytic enzyme.
