Patent ID: 8029684

Claim:
A method of manufacturing a self-emission panel, including forming a first conductive layer on a substrate directly or via another layer, laminating a deposition layer including a luminescent layer on said first conductive layer, and forming a self-emission device in an opening for making an emission area, the self-emission device constituting a second conductive layer on said deposition layer, the method comprising: a first step of forming a sectioning layer for sectioning the opening for making an emission area on said first conductive layer after the formation of said first conductive layer, said sectioning layer covering a portion of the first conductive layer, and said first conductive layer having a thin portion in said opening, a surface of which makes a contact surface with said deposition layer; wherein said first conductive layer has a difference in surface level between inside said opening and substantially all of the portion covered with said sectioning layer; and wherein the thin portion has a flat smooth surface and a thickness smaller than a thickness of portions of the first conductive layer covered with the sectioning layer; a second step of applying surface treatment to at least a surface of said first conductive layer inside said opening after said first step; and a third step of depositing said deposition layer at least on said first conductive layer that is given said surface treatment; wherein said surface treatment is effected by etching said first conductive layer selectively with respect to said sectioning layer.
