Abstract

A display includes: a display region including a plurality of pixels, a plurality of first liquid-repellent regions, and a plurality of first lyophilic regions, each of the plurality of first liquid-repellent regions being provided in a part or a whole of a portion between the plurality of pixels, and each of the plurality of first lyophilic regions being provided between the plurality of first liquid-repellent regions next to each other; and a peripheral region in a part or a whole of which a second lyophilic region is formed.

Claims (24)

1. A display comprising:

a display region including a plurality of pixels, a plurality of first liquid-repellent regions, and a plurality of first lyophilic regions, each of the plurality of first liquid-repellent regions being provided in a part or a whole of a portion between the plurality of pixels, and each of the plurality of first lyophilic regions being provided between the plurality of first liquid-repellent regions next to each other; and

a peripheral region in a part or a whole of which a second lyophilic region is formed.

2. The display according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of pixels are arranged in a grid.

3. The display according to claim 2 , wherein each of the first liquid-repellent regions is formed continuously in one direction, between the plurality of pixels arranged in the grid.

4. The display according to claim 1 , wherein a width of each of the first liquid-repellent regions changes along a longitudinal direction.

5. The display according to claim 1 , wherein a projection section or a depression section is formed in a region of each of the first liquid-repellent regions, the region corresponding to each of the pixels.

6. The display according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of pixels are classified into two or more colors, and a space between the plurality of first liquid-repellent regions is different for each color.

7. The display according to claim 1 , wherein each of the first lyophilic regions and the second lyophilic region are continuous with each other.

8. The display according to claim 1 , wherein a wide section is provided in the first lyophilic regions at one end of the first liquid-repellent regions next to each other, and a narrow region is formed in the wide section.

9. The display according to claim 1 , wherein one or more organic layers are formed in each of the first lyophilic regions.

10. The display according to claim 9 , wherein a surface of each of the organic layers formed in each of the first lyophilic regions is in a lyophilic state.

11. The display according to claim 1 , wherein a second liquid-repellent region is formed in a part or a whole of the peripheral region.

12. The display according to claim 11 , wherein the second liquid-repellent region is provided between a wiring section provided in the peripheral region and an organic layer.

13. The display according to claim 12 , wherein the first lyophilic regions and the second lyophilic region are each formed of a layer made of an inorganic material, and the first liquid-repellent regions and the second liquid-repellent region are each formed of a layer made of an organic material, the organic material being made to be lyophilic by a plasma treatment.

14. The display according to claim 13 , wherein the inorganic material is silicon dioxide (SiO 2 ), silicon carbide (SiC), silicon nitride (Si 3 N 4 ), indium tin oxide (ITO), indium zinc oxide (IZO), aluminum (Al), titanium (Ti), or molybdenum (Mo).

15. The display according to claim 13 , wherein the organic material is polyimide or novolak.

16. The display according to claim 1 , wherein a partition wall made of a fluorine-containing material is provided around each of the pixels, each of the first liquid-repellent regions is a top face of the partition wall, and each of the first lyophilic regions is a side face of the partition wall.

17. The display according to claim 16 , wherein the partition wall has a taper shape, and a taper angle in a long-side direction of the pixels is greater than a taper angle in a short-side direction of the pixels.

18. The display according to claim 1 , wherein each of the pixels includes a first electrode, a second electrode, and a third electrode, the first electrode and the second electrode each applying a predetermined voltage to a light-emitting layer, and the third electrode reducing a wiring resistance of the second electrode, and a connection section between the second electrode and the third electrode is provided within each of the first liquid-repellent regions.

19. The display according to claim 18 , wherein the connection section is provided in a part or a whole of each of a plurality of projection sections in each of the first liquid-repellent regions.

20. An electronic unit including a display, the display comprising:

a display region including a plurality of pixels, a plurality of first liquid-repellent regions, and a plurality of first lyophilic regions, each of the plurality of first liquid-repellent regions being provided in a part or a whole of a portion between the plurality of pixels, and each of the plurality of first lyophilic regions being provided between the plurality of first liquid-repellent regions next to each other; and

a peripheral region in a part or a whole of which a second lyophilic region is formed.
