Abstract

A manufacturing method of a display apparatus which comprises a plurality of display pixels including light emitting elements having a carrier transport layer includes first causing a surface of an electrode formed in a forming region of the plurality of display pixels by being enclosed by a partition wall which is provided on a substrate to have a lyophilic characteristic, making a surface of the partition wall have a repellency characteristic and second causing the surface of the electrode to have the lyophilic characteristic again by carrying out a plasma treatment in an inert gas atmosphere.

Claims (33)

1. A manufacturing method of a display apparatus which comprises a plurality of display pixels including light emitting elements having a carrier transport layer, comprising:

first causing a surface of an electrode, which is formed in a forming region of the plurality of display pixels that is enclosed by a partition wall which is provided on a substrate, to have a lyophilic characteristic by carrying out an oxygen plasma treatment with a first RF power for a first treatment time;

making a surface of the partition wall have a repellency characteristic; and

second causing the surface of the electrode to have the lyophilic characteristic again by carrying out a plasma treatment to the entire substrate in an inert gas atmosphere with a second RF power that is lower than the first RF power for a second treatment time that is shorter than the first treatment time.

2. The manufacturing method of the display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein in the making, the surface of the partition wall is made to have the repellency characteristic to an organic solution including a carrier transporting material by carrying out a plasma treatment to the partition wall in a fluorocarbon gas atmosphere.

3. The manufacturing method of the display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein in the second causing, the surface of the electrode is made to have the lyophilic characteristic to an organic solution including a carrier transporting material by carrying out the plasma treatment in a nitrogen gas atmosphere or in an argon gas atmosphere.

4. The manufacturing method of the display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the partition wall is formed by photosensitive resin material of a polyimid system or an acrylic system.

5. The manufacturing method of the display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the partition wall is formed on an insulation film including a silicon nitride film or a silicon oxide film formed on the substrate between forming regions of the display pixels.

6. The manufacturing method of the display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the forming region of the display pixels is defined by the partition wall.

7. The manufacturing method of the display apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising:

forming the carrier transport layer by applying an organic solution including a carrier transporting material on the electrode which is caused to have the lyophilic characteristic again and drying the organic solution; and

forming a counter electrode which opposes electrodes of the plurality of display pixels via the carrier transport layer and which is formed so as to extend on the partition wall which is made to have the repellency characteristic.

8. The manufacturing method of the display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the carrier transport layer comprises a plurality of layers.

9. The manufacturing method of the display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the electrode includes ITO.

10. The manufacturing method of the display apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising:

forming the carrier transport layer by applying an organic solution including a carrier transporting material on the electrode which is caused to have the lyophilic characteristic again and drying the organic solution.

11. A manufacturing method of a display apparatus which comprises a plurality of display pixels including light emitting elements having a carrier transport layer, comprising:

first causing a surface of an electrode formed in a forming region of the plurality of display pixels by being enclosed by a partition wall which is provided on a substrate to have a lyophilic characteristic to an organic solution including a carrier transporting material by carrying out an oxygen plasma treatment with a first RF power for a first treatment time;

making a surface of the partition wall have a repellency characteristic; and

second causing the surface of the electrode to have the lyophilic characteristic again by carrying out a plasma treatment in an inert gas atmosphere with a second RF power that is lower than the first RF power for a second treatment time that is shorter than the first treatment time.

12. The manufacturing method of the display apparatus according to claim 11 , wherein in the making, the surface of the partition wall is made to have the repellency characteristic to the organic solution including the carrier transporting material by carrying out a plasma treatment to the partition wall in a fluorocarbon gas atmosphere.

13. The manufacturing method of the display apparatus according to claim 11 , wherein in the second causing, the surface of the electrode is made to have the lyophilic characteristic to the organic solution including the carrier transporting material by carrying out the plasma treatment in the inert gas atmosphere.

14. The manufacturing method of the display apparatus according to claim 11 , wherein the partition wall is formed by photosensitive resin material.

15. The manufacturing method of the display apparatus according to claim 11 , wherein the partition wall is formed on an insulation film including a silicon nitride film or a silicon oxide film formed on the substrate between the forming regions of the display pixels.

16. The manufacturing method of the display apparatus according to claim 11 , wherein the forming region of the display pixels is defined by the partition wall.

17. The manufacturing method of the display apparatus according to claim 11 , further comprising:

forming the carrier transport layer by applying the organic solution including the carrier transporting material on the electrode which is caused to have the lyophilic characteristic again and drying the organic solution.

18. The manufacturing method of the display apparatus according to claim 17 , further comprising:

forming a counter electrode which opposes the electrode of the plurality of display pixels via the carrier transport layer and which is formed so as to extend on the partition wall.

19. The manufacturing method of the display apparatus according to claim 11 , wherein the carrier transport layer is constituted with a plurality of layers.

20. The manufacturing method of the display apparatus according to claim 11 , wherein the electrode includes ITO.

21. The manufacturing method of the display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the first RF power is 300 W, the first treatment time is 2 minutes, the second RF power is 50 W, and the second treatment time is 15 seconds.

22. The manufacturing method of the display apparatus according to claim 11 , wherein the first RF power is 300 W, the first treatment time is 2 minutes, the second RF power is 50 W, and the second treatment time is 15 seconds.
