Patent ID: 7745991

Claim:
A light-emitting device comprising: a plurality of TFTs over a substrate; a first passivation film over the plurality of TFTs; a leveling film over the first passivation film; a second passivation film over the leveling film; a plurality of first pixel electrodes and a plurality of second pixel electrodes over the second passivation film, the plurality of first pixel electrodes and the plurality of second pixel electrodes each being connected to one of the plurality of TFTs; a first separation layer, a second separation layer and a third separation layer each extending in a line over the second passivation film so that the plurality of first electrodes are arranged between the first separation layer and the second separation layer and the plurality of second electrodes are arranged between the second separation layer and the third separation layer; a first EL layer over the plurality of first pixel electrodes, the first EL layer extending along the first separation layer and the second separation layer; and a second EL layer over the plurality of second pixel electrodes, the second EL layer extending along the second separation layer and the third separation layer, wherein the first EL layer is formed to be continuous over the plurality of first pixel electrodes, and wherein the second EL layer is formed to be continuous over the plurality of second pixel electrodes.
