  • Patent number: 11253856
    Abstract: Provided is a microfluidic device that, as compared with a conventional microfluidic device, (i) is smoother in surface of a water-repellent layer provided above a segment electrode and (ii) makes it easier for microfluid provided in the surface of the water-repellent layer to slide. A microfluidic device (1) includes: an array substrate (10) including a plurality of electrodes (14); and a counter substrate (40) including at least one electrode (42), the array substrate (10) and the counter substrate (40) having therebetween an internal space (50) in which to cause an electroconductive droplet (51) to move across the plurality of electrodes (14), and the plurality of electrodes (14) being provided on a first flattening resin layer (13) and each being a light-blocking metal electrode.

  • Publication number: 20150214374
    Abstract: The present invention provides a circuit substrate and a display device in which oxide semiconductor layers that TFTs include are produced according to areas where the oxide semiconductor layers are present, whereby the reliability thereof is sufficiently enhanced. This circuit substrate is a circuit substrate obtained by arranging semiconductor elements on a transparent substrate, each of the semiconductor elements including an oxide semiconductor layer. The circuit substrate includes a protective film arranged above the semiconductor element, and an organic insulating film arranged above the protective film. The organic insulating films have openings above at least a part of oxide semiconductor layers.
