  • Patent number: 7601943
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing an electro-optical device having a plurality of unit regions arranged in a matrix on a surface of a flat plate-shaped base substrate. In each of the plurality of unit regions, a pixel electrode is formed. A counter electrode is formed on an opposite side to the base substrate with respect to the pixel electrodes. In pixel regions, which are first unit regions constituting a predetermined image among the plurality of unit regions, OLED elements are selectively formed. The OLED elements are interposed between the respective pixel electrodes and the counter electrode. In non-pixel regions, which are second unit regions other than the first unit regions among the plurality of unit regions, insulators are formed. The insulators are interposed between the respective pixel electrodes and the counter electrode.

  • Patent number: 7198814
    Abstract: In accordance with the invention, a composition including a solvent and a functional material is prepared. The solvent includes at least one heterocyclic compound having one or more substituents and containing an oxygen atom as a constituent atom. The functional material is selected from a group including organic EL materials, conductive materials, insulative materials and semiconductive materials. Functional films and functional elements are prepared by using the composition.

  • Publication number: 20060159841
    Abstract: To provide a liquid composition in which changes in physical properties with time are reduced or prevented, and a film-forming apparatus capable of forming a film pattern of the liquid composition with a high productivity a film-forming apparatus includes a liquid composition preparing unit to prepare a liquid composition containing an organic functional material, a solvent, and a metal deactivator; and a liquid discharge apparatus to discharge a liquid containing the liquid composition prepared in the liquid composition preparing unit onto a substrate. Since the liquid composition contains the metal deactivator, changes or degradation in the physical properties with time of the organic functional material can be reduced or prevented.

  • Publication number: 20050104508
    Abstract: A plurality of unit regions 51 are divided on a surface of a flat plate-shaped base substrate 10. In each of the plurality of unit regions 51, a pixel electrode 11 is formed. A counter electrode 15 is formed on an opposite side to the base substrate 10 with respect to the respective pixel electrodes 11. In pixel regions 511, which are regions constituting a predetermined image among the plurality of unit regions 51, OLED elements 21 are selectively formed. The OLED elements 21 are interposed between the respective pixel electrodes 11 and the counter electrode 15. In non-pixel regions 512, which are regions other than the pixel regions 511 among the plurality of unit regions 51, insulators 30 are formed. The insulators 30 are interposed between the respective pixel electrodes 11 and the counter electrode 15.
