Abstract
A disclosed laminated structure includes a wettability variable layer containing a wettability variable material whose surface energy changes when energy is applied thereto and including at least a high surface energy area having high surface energy and a low surface energy area having low surface energy; and a conductive layer disposed on the high surface energy area. The conductive layer includes a first high surface energy area, a second high surface energy area smaller in width than the first high surface energy area, and a third high surface energy area smaller in width than the second high surface energy area. The first high surface energy area and the second high surface energy area are connected by the third high surface energy area.
