Patent ID: 7985609

Claim:
A method of producing a light-emitting apparatus having a plurality of light-emitting devices each having a first electrode, a second electrode, and a light-emitting medium between the first electrode and the second electrode on a substrate; a device isolation layer formed between the plurality of light-emitting devices; and an auxiliary electrode electrically connected to the second electrode, the method comprising: forming the first electrode and the auxiliary electrode on the substrate; forming the device isolation layer by forming a layer over the first electrode and the auxiliary electrode and, thereafter, forming an opening in the layer on each of the first electrode and the auxiliary electrode; forming a conductive layer on the device isolation layer so as to cover the opening above the auxiliary electrode; bringing a shadow mask into contact with the conductive layer and forming the light-emitting medium in a thickness smaller than the thickness of the conductive layer so as to cover the opening above the first electrode; and forming the second electrode so as to cover the light-emitting medium, the device isolation layer, and the conductive layer.
