Abstract

A method of manufacturing the display apparatus includes: attaching a removable first film to one of an upper surface and a lower surface of a substrate, adjacent to a side surface of the substrate; hydrophilic-treating a first region of the side surface of the substrate, where the side surface includes the first region and a second region; providing an organic film pattern on the first region after the hydrophilic-treating; providing a metal layer on the first region and the second region after forming the organic film pattern; and forming a connection wire by removing the organic film pattern and portions of the metal layer on the first region.

Claims (38)

1 . A method of manufacturing a display apparatus, the method comprising:

attaching a removable first film to one of an upper surface and a lower surface of a substrate, adjacent to a side surface of the substrate;

hydrophilic-treating a first region of the side surface of the substrate, wherein the side surface includes the first region and a second region;

providing an organic film pattern on the first region after the hydrophilic-treating the first region of the side surface;

providing a metal layer on the first region and the second region after the providing the organic film pattern; and

forming a connection wire by removing the organic film pattern and portions of the metal layer on the first region.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the hydrophilic-treating the first region of the side surface comprises performing a plasma treatment on the first region.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the hydrophilic-treating the first region of the side surface comprises:

disposing a mask with an opening on the side surface of the substrate in a way such that the opening overlaps the first region; and

discharging, to the first region through the opening, plasma generated from a hydrophilic gas.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the hydrophilic-treating the first region of the side surface comprises, while moving a discharge outlet from one end of the side surface to another end of the side surface, discharging plasma generated from a hydrophilic gas, from the discharge outlet to the first region.

5 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

hydrophobic-treating the second region after the hydrophilic-treating the first region of the side surface and before the providing the organic film pattern.

6 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

attaching a removable second film to the other of the upper surface and the lower surface of the substrate.

7 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the providing the organic film pattern comprises providing one end of the organic film pattern on the first film and another end of the organic film pattern on the second film.

8 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the forming the connection wire comprises detaching the first film and the second film from the substrate to remove the organic film pattern and the portions of the metal layer on the first region.

9 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the forming the connection wire comprises detaching the first film from the substrate to remove the organic film pattern and the portions of the metal layer on the first region.

10 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the forming the connection wire comprises raising a temperature of the substrate to a preset temperature or above and then removing the organic film pattern and the portions of the metal layer on the first region.

11 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first region has a zigzag shape.

12 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the hydrophilic-treating the first region of the side surface comprises:

disposing, on the side surface of the substrate, a mask with an opening having a zigzag shape in a way such that the opening overlaps the first region; and

discharging, to the first region through the opening having the zigzag shape, plasma generated from a hydrophilic gas.

13 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the forming the connection wire comprises detaching the first film from the substrate, wherein the connection wire has the zigzag shape.

14 . A method of manufacturing a display apparatus, the method comprising:

attaching a removable first film to one of an upper surface and a lower surface of a substrate, adjacent to a side surface of the substrate;

hydrophobic-treating a second region of the side surface of the substrate, wherein the side surface includes a first region and the second region;

providing an organic film pattern on the first region after the hydrophobic-treating the second region of the side surface;

providing a metal layer on the first region and the second region after the providing the organic film pattern; and

forming a connection wire by removing the organic film pattern and portions of the metal layer on the first region.

15 . The method of claim 14 , wherein the hydrophobic-treating the second region of the side surface comprises performing a plasma treatment on the second region.

16 . The method of claim 14 , wherein the hydrophobic-treating the second region of the side surface comprises:

disposing, on the side surface of the substrate, a mask with an opening in a way such that the opening overlaps the second region; and

discharging, to the second region through the opening, plasma generated from a hydrophobic gas.

17 . The method of claim 14 , wherein the hydrophobic-treating the second region of the side surface comprises, while moving a discharge outlet from one end of the side surface to another end of the side surface, discharging plasma generated from a hydrophobic gas, from the discharge outlet to the second region.

18 . The method of claim 14 , further comprising:

attaching a removable first masking film to one of the upper surface and the lower surface of the substrate, adjacent to the side surface of the substrate; and

attaching a removable second masking film to the other of the upper surface and the lower surface of the substrate.
