  • Patent number: 10243176
    Abstract: A method for repairing a bank during manufacture of an organic EL display device when a bank defect portion is produced due to collapsing of a bank, a foreign particle, or the like. The method includes: detecting a defect portion of a lengthwise bank formed over a ground substrate; and when a defect portion is detected, forming, in each of adjacent concave spaces between which the lengthwise bank having the defect portion is located, a dam partitioning the concave space into a first space in a vicinity of the bank defect portion and a second portion not in the vicinity of the bank defect portion. The shape of the dam is configured so that in ejecting organic functional layer ink in each concave space with a nozzle head, there is an ink dropping point in each of the first space and the second space.

  • Patent number: 9818809
    Abstract: An examination is performed of whether or not a bank having a defect portion is present. When a bank having a defect portion is present, the bank having the defect portion is repaired by forming a dam in each of adjacent concave spaces between which the bank having the defect portion is located. A dam formed in a concave space partitions the concave space into a first space in a vicinity of the defect portion and a second space outside the vicinity of the defect portion. The dam, at a portion thereof with lowest height, satisfies (h/H)+0.1W?1.5, 0.5?(h/H)?2.0, and 5?W?50, where a ratio of the height h of the dam to a height H of the banks is denoted as h/H, and a width of the dam is denoted as W ?m.

  • Patent number: 9515130
    Abstract: A covering method including: preparing a mixture containing insulative material and a solvent; applying the mixture over a defective portion; and covering the defective portion with the insulative material by causing the solvent to evaporate from the mixture. In the covering method, the solvent has a boiling point no lower than 178 degrees Celsius, and in the mixture, a weight ratio percentage of the insulative material to the solvent is no lower than 10%. Thus, the defective portion, which may result in a dark spot, can be efficiently covered with insulative material while ensuring that a non-light-emission area that is formed accordingly has the smallest-necessary size and that sufficient insulation is achieved.
