  • Patent number: 8830610
    Abstract: An exposure method is provided. In (a) of FIG. 8, exposure is performed while a substrate 20 is being transported in the Y direction, to simultaneously form first layers 81 and layers 91 in first non-display regions 51 and the display region, respectively, on the substrate 20. Next, in (b) of FIG. 8, the substrate 20 is rotated by 90 degrees, and exposure is performed while the substrate 20 is being transported in the X direction, to form second layers 82 in second non-display regions 52. Subsequently, in (c) of FIG. 8, proximity exposure is performed once on the substrate 20 to simultaneously form third layers 83 on the first layers 81 in the first non-display regions 51, fourth layers 84 on the second layers 82 in the second non-display regions 52, and layers 92 in the display region 40.

  • Patent number: 8395747
    Abstract: A method for repairing a glass substrate is a method for repairing a glass substrate (10) having a depression (60) formed in a display region (5). Into the depression (60), plural types of starting material from which a cross-linked epoxy resin or a cross-linked (meth)acrylic resin is made are put together with a photoinitiator, and the starting materials thus put are copolymerized by light irradiation and heat treatment. In the result, the depression (60) in a surface of the glass substrate (10) is repaired by a transparent resin (65) obtained through the copolymerization of the plural types of starting material. Therefore, the glass substrate (10) can be repaired at a low temperature without performing a sintering process.

  • Publication number: 20120147314
    Abstract: The display device (100) of this invention has pixels (P) arranged in columns and rows to form a matrix pattern. Each pixel (P) is defined by subpixels (R, G, B, Y) arranged in m columns and n rows (where n and m are integers and n and m?2) to form a matrix pattern and that include first, second, third and fourth subpixels (R, B, Y, G) representing first, second, third and fourth colors, respectively. In three arbitrary pixels (P) arranged in line in one of row and column directions, if the central one of the three is called a first pixel (P1) and the other two second and third pixels (P2, P3), the arrangement of the subpixels (R, G, B, Y) in the first pixel (P1) is different from that of the subpixels (R, G, B, Y) in the second and third pixels (P2, P3). The first subpixels (R) of the first and second pixels (P1, P2) are adjacent to each other, so are their second subpixels (B). The third subpixels (Y) of the first and third pixels (P1, P3) are adjacent to each other, so are their fourth subpixels (G).
