Patent ID: 6969291

Claim:
A method for manufacturing a display apparatus including a substrate, a plurality of pixels formed on said substrate, and a barrier plate for separating adjoining pixels of said pixels from each other, each of said pixels having a lower layer portion including a wiring formed on said substrate, an upper portion including an organic electro-luminescent element, and a middle layer portion for insulating said lower layer portion and said upper layer portion from each other electrically, said method comprising the steps of: forming said lower layer portion including the wiring on said substrate; forming said middle layer portion so as to cover said lower layer portion; forming a contact hole connected with the wiring in said middle layer; forming said organic electro-luminescent element on said middle layer portion to connect said organic electro-luminescent element with the wiring in said lower layer portion through the contact hole formed in said middle layer portion; and disposing said barrier plate so as to overlap with a region including the contact hole, wherein: said step of forming said organic electro-luminescent element is to form said organic electro-luminescent element composed of a reflective anode connected to said wiring, a transparent cathode disposed at a front face of said organic electro-luminescent element, and an organic layer held between the anode and the cathode, and the organic layer emits light by recombination of a hole supplied from the anode and an electron supplied from the cathode, and further the emitted light is taken out of the cathode disposed at the front face.
