Abstract
Provided is a microfluidic device that, as compared with a conventional microfluidic device, (i) is smoother in surface of a water-repellent layer provided above a segment electrode and (ii) makes it easier for microfluid provided in the surface of the water-repellent layer to slide. A microfluidic device () includes: an array substrate () including a plurality of electrodes (); and a counter substrate () including at least one electrode (), the array substrate () and the counter substrate () having therebetween an internal space () in which to cause an electroconductive droplet () to move across the plurality of electrodes (), and the plurality of electrodes () being provided on a first flattening resin layer () and each being a light-blocking metal electrode.
