Patent ID: 7862677

Claim:
A method of manufacturing a display device, comprising the steps of: forming a peeling layer on an element-forming substrate; forming an insulating layer on said peeling layer; forming an active layer, a gate insulating layer, and gate electrodes over said insulating layer; forming first openings in said gate insulating layer, said insulating layer, and said peeling layer; forming a first interlayer insulating layer to cover said gate electrodes; forming wirings and a pixel electrode on said first interlayer insulating layer; forming second openings in said first interlayer insulating layer, said gate insulating layer, and said insulating layer to thereby expose said peeling layer; exposing the entire substrate to a gas containing halogen fluoride to thereby remove said peeling layer; forming a second interlayer insulating layer to cover said wirings and said pixel electrode; etching said second interlayer insulating layer to thereby expose said pixel electrode; forming a luminous layer and a cathode on said pixel electrode; bonding a fixed substrate on said cathode by using a first adhesive; removing said element-forming substrate after bonding said fixed substrate; and bonding a bonding substrate to said insulating layer by using a second adhesive.
