Patent number: 10879501Abstract: An ink drying process includes exhausting gas from atmosphere surrounding a substrate and drying ink through placing the substrate in a predefined pressure or less to form organic functional layers. Exhausting of gas includes: reducing, during a first period, pressure of the atmosphere from standard atmospheric pressure to a first pressure higher than vapor pressure of solvent having the highest vapor pressure among solvents of the ink; and subsequently reducing, during a second period, the pressure of the atmosphere to a second pressure lower than vapor pressure of solvent having the lowest vapor pressure among the solvents. Where pressure of the atmosphere is 10x Pa (X indicating a real number), a change amount average of X per unit time has a greater absolute value during the second period than during the first period.Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 2018Date of Patent: December 29, 2020Assignee: JOLED INC.Inventors: Toshio Fukuda, Noriteru Maeda
