Abstract
Provided is a solution for narrowing of a light emitting region, increasing of leak current at an edge of a functional layer, peeling of the functional layer, or the like caused by non-uniform thickness of the functional layer at the edges thereof. Provided is an electronic device comprising a substrate; a conductive functional layer formed on the substrate; and an edge covering layer that covers edges of the functional layer, wherein the functional layer includes a functional region that is not covered by the edge covering layer. This functional layer may include a non-functional region that is made non-functional by covering the functional layer with the edge covering layer. The edge covering layer may be adhered to the substrate by an adhesion force that is greater than an adhesion force between the substrate and the functional layer.
