Abstract

A method for producing a display, in which a first electrode film is produced on a substrate, functional layers are then applied to this film, and a second electrode film is then produced on the functional layer. The first and/or second electrode film according to the invention is produced overall or structured on the substrate by means of a contact printing process.

Claims (29)

1. Method for producing a display with the following process steps:

A) a first electrode film is produced on a substrate,

B) at least one functional layer is produced on the first electrode film,

C) a second electrode film is produced on the functional layer,

the first and/or second electrode film being produced overall on the substrate by means of a contact printing process, in which spacers are produced in a process step B1) prior to process step C) and/or B), and in which the spacers in process step C) prevent contact between the functional layer and a component of a printer responsible for transferring the second electrode film.

2. The method according to claim 1 in which the first and second electrode films are applied structured in the form of electrode strips and perpendicular to one another.

3. The method according to claim 1 in which organic electroluminescent materials are applied as the functional layer in process step B).

4. The method according to claim 1 in which the spacers ( 15 ) are structured as strip-shaped ridges in process step B1).

5. The method according to claim 1 , in which the face of the substrate ( 1 ) facing the observer is dulled in at least some areas.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the spacers are structured as strip-shaped ridges in process step B1).

7. The method according to claim 1 , in which organic electroluminescent materials are applied as the functional layer in process step B).

8. Method for producing an OLED display with the following process steps:

A) a first electrode film is produced on a substrate,

B) at least one functional layer comprising organic electroluminescent materials is produced on the first electrode film,

C) a second electrode film is produced on the functional layer,

the first and second electrode film being produced by means of a contact printing process in the form of electrode strips running perpendicular to each other,

in which first electrode strips are produced on the substrate in process step A) by a contact printing process, and in which strip-shaped ridges with overhanging edge forms that run perpendicular to the first electrode strips are structured in a process step B2) prior to process steps B) and/or C), and in which a metal layer is applied overall in process step C), which is structured by the strip-shaped ridges as second electrode strips.

9. Method for producing a liquid crystal display including the following process steps:

A) a first electrode film is produced on a substrate,

B) at least one functional layer is produced on the first electrode film,

C) a second electrode film is produced on the functional layer,

the first and/or second electrode film being produced overall on the substrate by means of a contact printing process, in which spacers are produced in a process step B1) prior to process step C) and/or B), and in which the spacers in process step C) prevent contact between the functional layer and a component of a printer responsible for transferring the second electrode film.

10. Method for producing an OLED display with the following process steps:

A) a first electrode film is produced on a substrate,

B) at least one functional layer comprising organic electroluminescent materials is produced on the first electrode film,

C) a second electrode film is produced on the functional layer,

the first and second electrode film being produced by means of a contact printing process in the form of electrode strips running perpendicular to each other,

in which a transparent substrate is used, and in which a transparent, electrically conductive first electrode film or electrode strips is/are produced.

in which the face of the substrate ( 1 ) facing the observer is dulled in at least some areas.
