  • Patent number: 8318392
    Abstract: An alignment method is disclosed, in which a distance between a substrate and a photomask is set at a predetermined exposure gap. The photomask is rectangular, and includes a first side, and a second side opposite to the first side. A distance between a midpoint of the first side and the substrate is matched with the exposure gap. The photomask is rotated about, as an axis, a line that connects the midpoint of the first side and a midpoint of the second side to each other, whereby distances between both ends of the first side and the substrate are individually matched with the exposure gap. The photomask is rotated about the first side taken as an axis, whereby a distance between the midpoint of the second side and the substrate is matched with the exposure gap.

  • Patent number: 8089426
    Abstract: A plurality of subfields of a field period includes a subfield for performing an every-cell initialization causing an initial discharge in every discharge cell in an initialization period, and includes a subfield for performing a selective initialization causing the initial discharge in a predetermined discharge cell in the initialization period. In a low-luminance subfield, the every-cell initialization is performed, and a low-luminance subfield is subsequently located (in the field period) to the subfield for the every-cell initialization. In a sustain period of the subfield for performing the every-cell initialization or a sustain period of the low-luminance subfield, a width of a first sustain pulse is set wider than a width of a second sustain pulse, and the width of the second sustain pulse is set wider than the width of a third sustain pulse and subsequent others.

  • Publication number: 20110200945
    Abstract: An alignment mark having high precision and good visibility is formed in a simple manner without modification of a manufacturing line or a significant increase of man hours and a flat panel display is manufactured at low cost and with good productivity. To achieve this, the method includes a step of forming a photosensitive film on a substrate, a step of forming an alignment mark by exposing the photosensitive film by using an exposing mask, and a step of performing position alignment by recognizing the alignment mark in an undeveloped state of the photosensitive film.

  • Publication number: 20110018927
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for manufacturing a panel. According to the method, employing an ink containing particles of metal or particles of metal oxide allows transparent electrodes to be formed with high dimensional accuracy and little loss of productivity. Specifically, the transparent electrodes are formed in a manner that an ink containing particles of metal or particles of metal oxide is printed by inkjet printing as a plurality of ink dots with different diameters onto the front substrate.
