An organic EL display in which the film thickness of an organic emissive layer is made uniform so as to increase the effective light emission area. An anode and a common cathode are formed for each pixel on the organic EL display. Switching by thin-film transistors causes current to flow between the anode and the cathode so that the organic EL element emits light. The organic EL element comprises a hole transport layer, the organic emissive layer, and an electron transport layer. Among a plurality of pixels disposed in a matrix configuration, the organic emissive layer is formed in common with adjacent pixels of the same color. Forming the organic emissive layer in common can prevent a decrease in the film thickness of the organic emissive layer at the edges of the shadow mask during vapor deposition and result in a uniform film thickness of the organic emissive layer.
