The platemaking apparatus according to the present invention forms a pattern on an ink film-forming press plate that has a surface layer containing a stimulus-responsive compound whose physical property can reversibly change in response to an external stimulus. The platemaking apparatus includes: a first stimulator that applies, to a surface of the press plate, a first stimulus that changes the physical property of the surface from a first physical property to a second physical property to form the pattern, on the basis of image data; a second stimulator that applies, to the surface of the press plate, a second stimulus that changes the physical property of the surface from the second physical property to the first physical property, to erase the pattern; and a cleaning unit that removes an ink remained on the surface of the press plate.

The present disclosure relates to the field of quantum dot display technology and discloses a method for manufacturing a quantum dot display device. The method comprises: providing an array substrate and a counter substrate opposite to each other; printing an alignment solution containing a quantum dot material onto a side of the array substrate facing the counter substrate; removing a solvent in the alignment solution printed onto the side of the array substrate facing the counter substrate; heating the array substrate after removal of the solvent; and providing a backlight source at a side of the array substrate facing away from the counter substrate. The present disclosure further relates to a corresponding quantum dot display device. With such a manufacturing method, the display quality of the resulting quantum dot display device is greatly improved, and the associated manufacturing cost and process difficulty are reduced.

A method for applying a pattern on a mask layer includes obtaining an image file representing pixels with a first pixel size in a first direction parallel to an edge of the pixel, and a second pixel size in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, where the first and second pixel size are the same or different, treating the mask layer such that a plurality of areas with altered physical properties are created in the mask layer, the plurality of areas corresponding to a plurality of pixels of the image file, where the treatment is done such that a first and/or a second area size of an area of said plurality of areas, seen in said first and/or said second direction, is smaller than the first and/or second pixel size, respectively.
