Abstract

A method of manufacturing a display apparatus includes: forming a peripheral circuit, a first electrode and a bank on a substrate; forming a surface energy lowering pattern on the bank; forming an organic light emitting member on the first electrode; and forming a second electrode on the organic light emitting member. The first electrode receives a first driving signal. The first electrode has a first surface energy. The bank surrounds at least one side of the first electrode. The surface energy lowering pattern has a second surface energy which is lower than the first surface energy. The second electrode receives a second driving signal to display an image. Therefore, an image display quality of the display apparatus is improved.

Claims (18)

1. A method of manufacturing a display apparatus comprising:

forming a peripheral circuit on a base substrate;

forming a first electrode which has a first surface energy on the base substrate, the first electrode configured to receive a first driving signal from the peripheral circuit;

forming a bank on the base substrate, the bank disposed on at least one side of the first electrode on the base substrate;

forming a surface energy lowering printing sheet on the bank, the surface energy lowering printing sheet having a surface energy lowering film, a conversion film and a base film;

forming a surface energy lowering pattern having a second surface energy which is lower than the first surface energy on the bank, the forming the surface energy lowering pattern comprising irradiating a laser beam onto the surface energy lowering printing sheet to print a portion of the surface energy lowering film onto the bank;

forming an organic light emitting member on the first electrode, the forming the organic light emitting member on the first electrode comprising forming a light emitting layer on the first electrode; and

forming a second electrode on the organic light emitting member, the second electrode configured to receive a second driving signal to display an image.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising forming a plurality of the first electrodes arranged in a matrix shape on the base substrate.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the bank is formed by:

forming a photosensitive layer on the base substrate; and

patterning the photosensitive layer to form a hole so that the first electrode is exposed through the hole.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the surface energy lowering film is printed by heating the conversion film by the laser beam to cut the surface energy lowering film.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the surface energy lowering printing sheet comprises at least one of a synthetic resin having fluorine, a fluorine-containing compound, oxygen or combinations thereof.

6. The method of claim 3 , wherein the forming the organic light emitting member comprises:

dropping a first organic light emitting material in the hole; and

drying the dropped first organic light emitting material to form a first organic lighting layer as a thin film shape.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the forming the organic light emitting member further comprises forming a hole injection layer on the first electrode.
