Patent ID: 7672039

Claim:
A method of manufacturing a display panel with a substrate having an electrode at each of a plurality of cell regions partitioned by partition walls provided upright, the method supplying color material particles with an electrostatic property to each of the cell regions based on a supply pattern of the color material particles which is preformed on an electrophotographic transfer body, the method comprising the steps of: providing an interval holding section between a non-display area of a surface of the substrate and a non-transfer area of a surface of the transfer body, the interval holding section having a first height dimension for holding an interval between the non-display area and the non-transfer area at a predetermined value at a time when the transfer body transfers the color material particles to the substrate; and transferring the color material particles to the substrate from the transfer body while biasing at least one of the substrate and the transfer body toward the other thereof in such a way that the interval holding section holds the interval between the non-transfer area of the transfer body and the non-display area of the substrate at the predetermined value.
