  • Publication number: 20260157034
    Abstract: A high-resolution, high-definition, or large display apparatus is provided. A metal mask is placed over an EL layer and film deposition is performed with the metal mask, whereby an island-shaped counter electrode is formed. Then, the EL layer is processed using the counter electrode as a hard mask. Alternatively, after an EL layer and a counter electrode are formed over an entire surface, processing using a metal mask is performed. An insulating layer that electrically insulates adjacent pixel electrodes from each other is positioned between adjacent light-emitting devices. A resist mask is formed over the insulating layer. A plurality of EL layers and a plurality of counter electrodes overlapping each other over the insulating layer are partly removed using the resist mask, whereby part of the insulating layer is exposed. Thus, the adjacent light-emitting devices are electrically insulated from each other over the insulating layer.
