Abstract:
1. A method of manufacturing an electroluminescent device, comprising: forming a pattern including an overhanging structure with a negatively-sloped section thereunder and a functional region bounded on at least one side by a positively-sloped section, the overhanging structure being on a side of the positively-sloped section that is opposite the functional region; depositing a liquid suitable for forming a functional layer within the functional region such that the liquid contacts the a positively-sloped surface of the positively-sloped sections, the positively-sloped sections having a shape and size such that at least some of the liquid is prevented from reaching the negatively-sloped section and being taken up by a capillary channel of the negatively-sloped section; and processing the liquid to form an electroluminescent region.
