Display apparatus and method for fabricating the same
First Claim
1. A method for fabricating a display apparatus having a plurality of pixels, the method comprising the steps of:
- forming on a substrate a first electrode;
forming between adjacent ones of said plurality of pixels a rib having a conductive material, said rib being aligned substantially normal to the substrate;
placing a mask on said rib, said mask being aligned substantially parallel to said substrate, and forming on said first electrode a light emitting layer smaller in thickness than said rib using said mask; and
forming a second electrode on said light emitting layer and on and over said rib.

Abstract
An active-matrix-type display apparatus ensuring sufficient luminous intensity of display devices within a display plane and allowing improved display properties is provided. Such display apparatus having of a plurality of pixels comprises a lower electrode formed on a substrate; organic layers formed on the lower electrode; and an upper common electrode formed on the organic layers; in which a plurality of the pixels are partitioned by a rib larger in the thickness than the organic layers and having at least a conductive material layer; and the conductive material layer is electrically connected to the upper common electrode.

10. The method for fabricating a display apparatus having a plurality of pixels, the method comprising the steps of:
-
forming on a substrate a field effective transistor having a first electrode, a second electrode and a third electrode; forming on said field effective transistor an interlayer insulating film; forming an opening to said interlayer insulating film; forming on said interlayer insulating film on a lower electrode connected through said opening to said first electrode; forming between adjacent ones of said plurality of pixels a rib having a conductive material, said rib being aligned substantially normal to said substrate; placing a mask on said rib, said mask being aligned substantially parallel to said substrate, and forming on said lower electrode an organic layer having a light emitting layer smaller in thickness than said rib using said mask; and forming on and over said said rib and said organic layer an upper electrode and a protective layer made of an insulating material or a conductive material while keeping said organic layer unexposed to the air. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
