Abstract
Cette invention porte sur un procédé de fabrication d'un dispositif à matrice optique et sur un appareil de fabrication d'un dispositif à matrice optique. Dans la fabrication d'un film semi-conducteur, d'un film isolant et d'un film électro-conducteur pour un dispositif à matrice optique, des gouttelettes de liquide en tant que matériau pour chaque film, projetées par une buse de jet d'encre, sont exposées goutte-à-goutte à un faisceau laser pour un durcissement thermique ou un photo-durcissement. Selon l’agencement précédent, les gouttelettes de liquide déposées sur le substrat isolant ne sont pas déplacées, et aucun réservoir de liquide en résultat d'une coalescence de gouttelettes de liquide adjacentes n'est formé. Par conséquent, un motif de film peut être formé conformément à un motif de film déposé. Suite au dépôt des gouttelettes de liquide, les gouttelettes de liquide sont instantanément durcies. Ainsi, la hauteur des gouttelettes de liquide peut être maintenue et l'épaisseur de film du motif de film peut être formée de façon régulière.
