Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided is a highly reliable light-emitting element in which damage to an EL layer is reduced even when an auxiliary electrode for an upper electrode is provided. Further, a highly reliable light-emitting device in which luminance unevenness is suppressed is provided. The light-emitting element includes a first electrode; an insulating layer over the first electrode; an auxiliary electrode having a projection and a depression on a surface, over the insulating layer; a layer containing a light-emitting organic compound over the first electrode and the auxiliary electrode; and a second electrode over the layer containing the light-emitting organic compound. At least part of the auxiliary electrode is electrically connected to the second electrode.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for manufacturing a light-emitting element, comprising the steps of: forming a first electrode over a substrate; forming an auxiliary wiring over the first electrode; forming an insulating layer over the auxiliary wiring; printing an auxiliary electrode comprising a conductive paste including metal particles over the insulating layer; forming a layer containing a light-emitting organic compound over the first electrode and the auxiliar…
