Patent ID: 8580333

Claim:
A method of manufacturing a light emitting element including a plurality of first electrodes, a second electrode and an organic semiconductor film disposed between the plurality of first electrodes and the second electrode, the method comprising: forming current supply lines, signal lines and scanning lines on a substrate; forming an interlayer insulating film on the substrate, the current supply lines, the signal lines and the scanning lines; and forming the plurality of first electrodes on the interlayer insulating film, such that a step is formed between the plurality of first electrodes and a periphery thereof, the plurality of first electrodes being completely surrounded by the step, and the step being formed of the current supply lines, the signal lines and the scanning lines; selectively coating a material, which is for forming a positive hole injection layer and which is dissolved in a solvent, in regions surrounded by the step by an inkjet method; removing the solvent including the material and selectively forming the positive hole injection layer in the regions surrounded by the step; selectively coating an organic semiconductor material dissolved in a solvent in the regions surrounded by the step by an inkjet method; and removing the solvent including the organic semiconductor material and forming the organic semiconductor film in the regions surrounded by the step.
