A substrate (10) is moved relative to the vapor deposition mask in a state in which the substrate and the vapor deposition mask are spaced apart at a fixed interval. Vapor deposition particles (91) discharged from a vapor deposition source opening (61) of the vapor deposition source pass through neighboring inter-control plate spaces (81) and mask openings (71) formed in the vapor deposition mask, and then adhere to the substrate to form a coating film (90). At least a part of the coating film is formed by the vapor deposition particles that have passed through two or more different inter-control plate spaces. It is thereby possible to form a coating film in which edge blur and variations in the thickness are suppressed.

The openings K are formed by the through gaps 73a.

Abstract: A vapor deposition source (60), a plurality of limiting plates (81) and a vapor deposition mask (70) are disposed in this order. A substrate spaced apart from the vapor deposition mask at a fixed interval is moved relative to the vapor deposition mask. Vapor deposition particles (91) discharged from vapor deposition source openings (61) of the vapor deposition source pass through between neighboring limiting plates, pass through mask openings (71) formed in the vapor deposition mask, and adhere to the substrate, whereby coating films (90) are formed. The limiting plates limit the incidence angle of the vapor deposition particles that enter the mask openings, as viewed in the relative movement direction of the substrate. In this way, an organic EL element can be formed on a large-sized substrate without increasing the pixel pitch or reducing the aperture ratio.
