A barrier film is formed on a resin layer so as to include a missing part where a portion of the barrier film is missing in a central end region of the resin layer.

According to one embodiment, a display device includes a lower electrode, a rib including a pixel aperture, a partition on the rib, an upper electrode, and an organic layer between the lower electrode and the upper electrode. The partition includes an insulating first portion, a conductive second portion which is provided on the first portion and is in contact with the upper electrode, and a third portion provided on the second portion. A lower end of the second portion protrudes in a width direction of the partition relative to the first portion. The third portion protrudes in the width direction relative to an upper end of the second portion.

An increase in voltage of a light-emitting device manufactured through a step of forming an aluminum oxide film in contact with an organic compound layer is inhibited. An organic compound film is formed over a first electrode. An organic mask film containing an organic compound which has low solubility to water or a chemical solution including water as a solvent is formed over the organic compound film. An inorganic mask layer is formed over the organic mask film. Shapes of the organic mask film and the organic compound film are processed with the use of the inorganic mask layer, whereby an organic mask layer and an organic compound layer are formed. At least parts of the inorganic mask layer and the organic mask layer are removed with the use of water or a liquid including water as a solvent.

The disclosure relates to a method and apparatus for preventing oxidation or contamination during a circuit printing operation. The circuit printing operation can be directed to OLED-type printing. In an exemplary embodiment, the printing process is conducted at a load-locked printer housing having one or more of chambers. Each chamber is partitioned from the other chambers by physical gates or fluidic curtains. A controller coordinates transportation of a substrate through the system and purges the system by timely opening appropriate gates. The controller may also control the printing operation by energizing the print-head at a time when the substrate is positioned substantially thereunder.
