Abstract
An ink for a display panel that at a time of application is a mixture of a powder material, a water-soluble resin included in a range of 1 wt % to 20 wt % inclusive of the ink, and a water-miscible solvent. The ink is water-soluble, and in comparison to conventional organic inks, the ink of the present invention exhibits a markedly reduced susceptibility to the occurrence of electrostatic action. Thus, even when the ink is discharged through a plurality of fine nozzle holes, for example, it is possible for the application process to be conducted with great efficiency, since the individual ink flows discharged from the nozzle holes flow in a vertically downward direction without reacting with each other and becoming warped as a result. The ink of the present invention may, for example, be a phosphor ink, an Ag electrode ink, a shading film (black matrix) ink, a sealant glass ink, or a white reflective layer ink, and the ink may be used in forming structural layers of a display panel.
