Patent ID: 7855503

Claim:
A flat panel display, comprising: a substrate; an insulating film formed over the substrate, wherein a recess is defined in the insulating film; a pixel electrode formed over the substrate, wherein at least part of the pixel electrode is formed in the recess of the insulating film; a conductor formed on the insulating film; a capping layer covering the conductor, wherein the capping layer does not extend to a region which is directly below the recess, and wherein a surface roughness of the capping layer is lower than that of the conductor; an opposing electrode formed over the insulating film, conductor, capping layer and pixel electrode, wherein the opposing electrode is electrically insulated from the conductor; and a light emitting layer interposed between the pixel electrode and opposing electrode, wherein at least part of the light emitting layer is formed in the recess of the insulating film, wherein the light emitting layer is formed on the capping layer, and wherein the opposing electrode is formed on the light emitting layer.
