The present invention aims to provide simple, high-speed processing for the formation of an EL layer by an ink-jet method. A method of manufacturing an electro-optical device having good operation performance and high reliability, and in particular, a method of manufacturing an EL display device, is provided. The present invention forms EL layers continuously across a plurality of pixels when the EL layers are formed by the ink-jet method. Specifically, with respect to m columns and n rows of pixel electrodes arranged in a matrix state, the EL layers are formed so as to form stripes with respect to one certain selected row or one column. The EL layers may also be formed having an oblong shape or a rectangular shape with respect to each pixel electrode.
