Abstract: A separation apparatus (1) for separating a thin-film flexible stacked body (3) from a component (16) where the thin-film flexible stacked body (3) including an element layer is formed over a rigid substrate (2) such as a glass substrate, a quartz substrate, a ceramic substrate, or a metal substrate is provided. The separation apparatus (1) mainly includes a fixing device (10) for fixing the substrate (2) of the component (16), suction jigs (11) for lifting the flexible stacked body (3) by suction to be separated, circular suction pads (13) that are brought into direct contact with the flexible stacked body (3) and attached to the flexible stacked body (3) by suction, and clamp jigs (9) for holding an edge of the flexible stacked body (3). A position sensor such as a laser measuring instrument for measuring or monitoring a separation state of the flexible stacked body may be used together.

Abstract: A display device that includes a first flexible substrate, a first bonding layer over the first flexible substrate, a first insulating film over the first bonding layer, a first element layer over the first insulating film, a second element layer over the first element layer, a second insulating film over the second element layer, a second bonding layer over the second insulating film, and a second flexible substrate over the second bonding layer is provided. The first element layer includes a pixel portion and a circuit portion. The pixel portion includes a display element and a first transistor, and the circuit portion includes a second transistor. The second element layer includes a coloring layer and a light-blocking layer.

Abstract: The yield of a peeling process is improved. A peeling apparatus includes a structure body with a convex surface and a stage with a supporting surface which faces the convex surface. The structure body can hold a first member of a process member between the convex surface and the supporting surface. The stage can hold a second member of the process member. The radius of curvature of the convex surface is less than the radius of curvature of the supporting surface. The linear velocity of the convex surface is greater than or equal to the speed of a rotation center of the structure body passing the stage. The first member is wound along the convex surface to be separated from the second member.

Abstract: A first organic resin layer is formed over a first substrate; a first insulating film is formed over the first organic resin layer; a first element layer is formed over the first insulating film; a second organic resin layer is formed over a second substrate; a second insulating film is formed over the second organic resin layer; a second element layer is formed over the second insulating film; the first substrate and the second substrate are bonded; a first separation step in which adhesion between the first organic resin layer and the first substrate is reduced; the first organic resin layer and a first flexible substrate are bonded with a first bonding layer; a second separation step in which adhesion between the second organic resin layer and the second substrate is reduced; and the second organic resin layer and a second flexible substrate are bonded with a second bonding layer.
