Abstract
A laminated structure includes a wettability variable layer formed on a substrate, including a material whose critical surface tension varies by receiving energy so that high and low surface energy regions are formed; a conductive layer formed in one of the high surface energy regions; and an insulating layer formed in such a manner as to cover the conductive layer, wherein another one of the high surface energy regions is formed in such a manner as to surround a periphery of a circuit formation region in which a plurality of the conductive layers are formed; and the insulating layer is formed in such a manner as to also cover the another one of the high surface energy regions so that an adhesive guard ring region is formed between the wettability variable layer and the insulating layer.
