Abstract

A formation method of an organic layer ( 13 ) includes a transfer process of forming the organic layer ( 13 ) by superposing a donor substrate ( 30 ) having a light heat converting layer ( 32 ) and a transfer layer ( 34 ) formed sequentially to cover at least regions corresponding to organic layer formation regions on a support plate ( 31 ) and a transfer mask ( 40 ) having openings corresponding to the organic layer formation regions, on each other so that the transfer layer-side surface of the donor substrate ( 30 ) comes into contact with the transfer mask ( 40 ), and, with the resultant structure placed above a transfer target substrate ( 20 ) so that the transfer mask ( 40 ) is on the lower side, transferring the transfer layer ( 34 ) onto the transfer target substrate ( 20 ) via the openings of the transfer mask ( 40 ).

Claims (7)

1. A formation method of an organic layer, comprising:

a transfer process of forming an organic layer by superposing a donor substrate having a light heat converting layer and a transfer layer formed sequentially to cover at least regions corresponding to organic layer formation regions on a support plate, a transfer mask having openings corresponding to the organic layer formation regions, and a transfer target substrate on a surface of which an organic layer is to be formed, on one another so that one surface of the transfer mask comes into contact with a transfer layer-side surface of the donor substrate and the other surface of the transfer mask comes into contact with the organic layer formation-side surface of the transfer target substrate, and, in this state, transferring the transfer layer onto the transfer target substrate via the openings of the transfer mask, wherein

a surface of the transfer mask facing the transfer layer of the donor substrate is higher in optical reflectance than a transfer mask-side surface of the light heat converting layer.

2. The formation method of an organic layer of claim 1 , wherein

the transfer mask has a light reflection layer formed to cover a surface of a mask body facing the transfer layer of the donor substrate.

3. The formation method of an organic layer of claim 2 , wherein

the transfer mask has the light reflection layer made of aluminum formed on the mask body made of polyimide.
