Patent ID: 7678697

Claim:
A method of manufacturing an active matrix substrate, comprising: forming a coating region on a substrate; forming banks to enclose the coating region; subjecting the coating region and the banks to a resurfacing treatment; and discharging a single droplet of functional liquid onto the substrate so that the single discharged droplet flows into the coating region, the single discharged droplet having a height below a height of the banks and touching each wall of the banks when within the coating region, a width of the coating region between the banks being smaller than a diameter of a single discharged droplet of the functional liquid, a difference between a contact angle of the single discharged droplet of the functional liquid with respect to the coating region and a contact angle of the functional liquid with respect to the bank being above 40°, and the contact angle of the single discharged droplet of the functional liquid with respect to the coating region being below 15°.
