- the light-emitting layer of the light-emitting device and the active layer (also referred to as a photoelectric conversion layer) of the light-receiving device in an island shape.
- an island-shaped light-emitting layer and an island-shaped active layer can be formed by vacuum deposition using a metal mask.
- island-like formations occur due to various influences such as precision of the metal mask, misalignment between the metal mask and the substrate, bending of the metal mask, and broadening of the contour of the deposited film due to vapor scattering. Since the shapes and positions of the light-emitting layer and the island-shaped active layer deviate from the design, it is difficult to increase the definition and aperture ratio of the display device.
- the layer profile may be blurred and the edge thickness may be reduced. That is, the thickness of the island-shaped light-emitting layer and the island-shaped active layer may vary depending on the location.
- the manufacturing yield will be low due to low dimensional accuracy of the metal mask and deformation due to heat or the like.
- a light-emitting layer and an active layer are formed by a vacuum evaporation method using a metal mask. Specifically, a light-emitting layer is formed over a plurality of pixel electrodes located in regions corresponding to sub-pixels having a light-emitting function. Also, an active layer is formed over a plurality of pixel electrodes located in regions corresponding to sub-pixels having a photodetection function. After that, the light-emitting layer and the active layer are processed, for example, by photolithography to form one island-shaped light-emitting layer or one island-shaped active layer for one pixel electrode.
- the light-emitting layer and the active layer are divided for each sub-pixel, and an island-shaped light-emitting layer or an island-shaped active layer can be formed for each sub-pixel.
- an island-shaped light-emitting layer or an island-shaped active layer can be formed for each sub-pixel. For example, when dividing a plurality of sub-pixels that emit light of the same color into four, it is sufficient to divide into two in the row direction and into two in the column direction.
- the island-shaped light-emitting layer and the island-shaped active layer manufactured by the method for manufacturing a display device of one embodiment of the present invention are not only formed using a metal mask with a fine pattern, but also processed.
- the island-shaped light-emitting layer and the island-shaped active layer are processed to be divided and miniaturized using a photolithography method or the like. Therefore, the size of each of the island-shaped light emitting layer and the island-shaped active layer can be made smaller than the size formed using the metal mask. Therefore, it is possible to realize a high-definition display device or a display device with a high aperture ratio, which has hitherto been difficult to achieve.
- both the light-emitting layer and the active layer can be processed in one process using a photolithography method; therefore, the display device can be manufactured with high yield.
- the thickness of the end portions of the light emitting layer and the active layer may become thin.
- the end portions of the light-emitting layer and the active layer formed by, for example, a vacuum deposition method using a metal mask can be removed by processing using a photolithography method. Therefore, the display device of one embodiment of the present invention is a display device in which the thickness of the light-emitting layer and the active layer are uniform, specifically, the thickness of the light-emitting layer and the active layer is different between the thickness of the central portion and the thickness of the edge portion. A display device with a small difference can be obtained.
- the thickness can be reduced to less than 10 ⁇ m, 5 ⁇ m or less, 3 ⁇ m or less, 2 ⁇ m or less, or 1 ⁇ m or less. Further, for example, by using an exposure apparatus for LSI, the gap can be narrowed to 500 nm or less, 200 nm or less, 100 nm or less, or even 50 nm or less.
- the aperture ratio can be 50% or more, 60% or more, 70% or more, 80% or more, or even 90% or more, and less than 100%.
- the pattern (also referred to as processing size) of the light-emitting layer itself and the active layer itself can be made much smaller than when a metal mask is used.
- the thickness of the light emitting layer or the active layer varies between the center and the edge. The effective area that can be used as a region or light receiving region is reduced.
- the manufacturing method described above since the film formed to have a uniform thickness is processed, the island-shaped light-emitting layer and the island-shaped active layer can be formed with uniform thickness. Therefore, almost the entire area of even a fine pattern can be used as a light-emitting region or a light-receiving region. Therefore, a display device having both high definition and high aperture ratio can be manufactured.
- each sub-pixel having a light-emitting function has a light-emitting device that emits light of the same color, it is not necessary to separate the light-emitting layers for a plurality of sub-pixels. Therefore, a layer other than the pixel electrode included in the light-emitting device (for example, a light-emitting layer) can be shared (or shared) by a plurality of sub-pixels.
- a layer other than the pixel electrode included in the light-emitting device for example, a light-emitting layer

- the display device when the display device has a high definition or a high aperture ratio and the distance between sub-pixels becomes small, the leak current becomes unignorable, and there is a possibility that the display quality of the display device is deteriorated. Therefore, in the display device of one embodiment of the present invention, at least part of the light-emitting device is formed in an island shape in each subpixel having a light-emitting function. Accordingly, it is possible to achieve both high definition and high display quality of the display device.
- a sacrificial layer (also referred to as a mask layer) is formed over a layer including a light-emitting layer (which can be referred to as an EL layer or part of an EL layer). preferably formed. Then, an island-shaped EL layer is preferably formed by forming a resist mask over the sacrificial layer and processing the EL layer and the sacrificial layer using the resist mask.

This can improve the reliability of the light emitting device. Therefore, each island-shaped EL layer preferably has a light-emitting layer and a carrier-transporting layer (an electron-transporting layer or a hole-transporting layer) on the light-emitting layer.

Note that even in the case where the carrier injection layer is provided in an island shape and the common electrode is formed in common for a plurality of light emitting devices, the common electrode is in contact with the side surface of the EL layer or the side surface of the pixel electrode, so that light emission is prevented. The device may short out.

- the insulating layer can be provided so as to be in contact with the island-shaped EL layer. Thereby, peeling of the EL layer can be prevented. Adhesion between the insulating layer and the island-shaped EL layers brings about an effect that adjacent island-shaped EL layers are fixed or adhered by the insulating layer. In addition, since the insulating layer suppresses moisture from entering the interface between the pixel electrode and the EL layer, peeling of the EL layer can be prevented. This can improve the reliability of the light emitting device. Moreover, the production yield of the light-emitting device can be increased.
- the insulating layer preferably functions as a barrier insulating layer against at least one of water and oxygen. Further, the insulating layer preferably has a function of suppressing diffusion of at least one of water and oxygen. In addition, the insulating layer preferably has a function of capturing or fixing at least one of water and oxygen (also referred to as gettering).
