Abstract:
1. A method of manufacturing an organic EL display panel, comprising the steps of: preparing a substrate; forming a TFT layer on the substrate; forming a planarizing film above the TFT layer; providing a plurality of contact holes in the planarizing film such that the contact holes penetrate the planarizing film; arranging a plurality of lower electrodes in a matrix above the planarizing film in such a manner that the TFT layer and the lower electrodes are brought into conduction via the contact holes, the lower electrodes corresponding one-to-one to pixel units; forming, above the planarizing film, a bank defining a plurality of openings corresponding one-to-one to the lower electrodes; forming organic light-emitting layers in the openings in one-to-one correspondence; and forming an upper electrode above the organic light-emitting layers, wherein the bank is formed such that the organic light-emitting layers are formed by (i) causing a plurality of nozzles provided in an inkjet head to eject drops of ink into each opening, the ink containing one or more solvents and one or more organic materials to constitute the organic light-emitting layers, and (ii) drying the one or more solvents by evaporation, and in the step of forming the organic light-emitting layers,
