  • Publication number: 20230200198
    Abstract: To provide a light-emitting element in which an organic compound layer can be processed at once by a photolithography technique. A first electrode and an organic compound layer including an electron-injection layer are formed over an insulating surface. The electron-injection layer is the outermost layer of the organic compound layer and contains an organic compound having a basic skeleton and an acid dissociation constant pKa of greater than or equal to 1. A sacrificial layer and a mask are formed over the electron-injection layer and the sacrificial layer is processed into an island shape using the mask. With use of the island-shaped sacrificial layer as a mask, the organic compound layer is processed into an island shape to cover the first electrode. Part of the island-shaped sacrificial layer is removed with an acidic chemical solution to expose the electron-injection layer. A second electrode is formed to cover the electron-injection layer.
