Imprinting apparatus

An imprinting apparatus, comprising:

• a first frame above an imprint mold, the first frame being moveable in a single direction along the imprint mold;
• a pressure roller rotatably supported on the first frame to press the imprint mold as the first frame moves;
• a second frame coupled to the first frame, the second frame being laterally movable;
• and
• at least one load roller rotatably supported by the second frame, while contacting the pressure roller on an upper portion of the pressure roller to press the pressure roller by force exerted by a load of the at least one load roller, the at least one load roller having a central shaft deviating from a central shaft of the pressure roller in a vertical direction perpendicular to the single direction, and moving in the vertical direction while being in contact with a surface of the pressure roller according to a lateral movement of the second frame,
• wherein the second frame includes a support portion coupled to the first frame, and at least one guide portion coupled to the support portion, the at least one guide portion being laterally movable in the single direction along the support portion independently of the first frame.

• a second frame including a support portion coupled to the first frame, and at least one guide portion coupled to the support portion, the at least one guide portion being laterally movable toward the first frame in the single direction on the support portion;
• a driving unit on the support portion, to laterally move the at least one guide portion in the single direction;
• a controller to control the driving unit;
• and
• at least one load roller rotatably supported on the at least one guide portion while contacting the pressure roller on an upper portion of the pressure roller to press the pressure roller by force exerted by a load of the at least one load roller, the at least one load roller changing a pressing force applied to the imprint mold by the pressure roller, while moving along a surface of the pressure roller as the at least one guide portion is moved laterally in response to a driving signal of the controller.
