Abstract:
1. A method of fabricating a display device having a TFT substrate and an array of light-emitting devices arranged on the substrate, each of the light-emitting devices having a lower electrode, an upper electrode, and organic layers sandwiched between the lower and upper electrodes, the method comprising: forming the light-emitting devices at a display region of the TFT substrate; forming external connector terminals outside the display region and keeping surfaces of the external connector terminals exposed while selectively applying a protective film over the display region of the TFT substrate, but not in another region of the TFT substrate by a method of application such that at least the light-emitting devices are covered by the protective film without applying the protective film to the exposed connector terminals and wherein the protective film as originally applied is a continuous film covering the array of light emitting devices and the protective film is an organic material containing fluorine, and further wherein the external connector terminals are located at openings formed in an insulating film on which the light-emitting devices are formed and wherein auxiliary interconnects are formed on the insulating film adjacent to the light-emitting devices.
