Abstract
In a manufacturing apparatus of display element, a display element is formed in a flexible substrate that has a first surface and a second surface that is an opposite surface thereof, and this manufacturing apparatus of display element includes a transportation section that transports the flexible substrate in a predetermined direction that intersects with a width direction of the flexible substrate; a first partition wall formation section that forms a first partition wall for a display element in the first surface; and a second partition wall formation section that forms a second partition wall in the second surface.
Claims19
A method for manufacturing a display element using a flexible substrate that has a first surface, a second surface opposite the first surface, and first and second edges, the method comprising:
- transporting the flexible substrate, using a first transportation section, in a transporting direction perpendicular to a width of the flexible substrate;
- forming a plurality of first partition walls for the display element in the first surface, the first partition walls having a first depth;
- forming a plurality of second partition walls in the second surface in a region of the substrate that does not overlap with the first partition walls, the second partition walls having a second depth smaller than a thickness of the flexible substrate and larger than the first depth;
- and
- transporting the flexible substrate in the transporting direction using a second transportation section having a projection for engaging with the second partition walls.
