Discrete anodes (7) and discrete emissive layers (15) are formed for
respective pixels, while a hole-transport layer (14), an
electron-transport layer (16), and a cathode (17) are formed to extend
over a plurality of pixels. Accordingly, a process of etching-back the
hole-transport layer (14) and the electron-transport layer (16) is
eliminated. Also, since partitions (68) as conventionally provided are not
necessary, the process of forming the partitions can also be eliminated.
The anode (7) and the cathode (17) are separated by the hole-transport
layer (14) and the electron-transport layer (16), and are therefore not
subject to shorting, even though no partition (68) is employed. Further,
since the emissive layer (15) is larger than the anode (7), a leak current
generated at the ends of the anode and field concentration can be
prevented.
