It is an object of the present invention to form a pixel electrode and a metal film using one resist mask in manufacturing a stacked structure by forming the metal film over the pixel electrode. A conductive film to be a pixel electrode and a metal film are stacked. A resist pattern having a thick region and a region thinner than the thick region is formed over the metal film using an exposure mask having a semi light-transmitting portion. The pixel electrode, and the metal film formed over part of the pixel electrode to be in contact therewith are formed using the resist pattern. Accordingly, a pixel electrode and a metal film can be formed using one resist mask.

A display device according to the present disclosure has a resonator structure in which a light reflector and a semi-transmissive plate are disposed at a distance that differs for each luminescent color. In this resonator structure, a light-emitting function layer including a light-emitting layer, a transparent cathode electrode, and a protective film that protects the cathode electrode are laminated in order between the light reflector and the semi-transmissive plate. In addition, the semi-transmissive plate is formed on the protective film.

The present disclosure proposes a flexible display and a method of forming the flexible display. The flexible display includes a flexible base, an OLED element disposing on the flexible base, an encapsulation layer disposed on the OLED element, with the flexible base and/or the encapsulation layer comprising one or more patterned inorganic layers and two or more organic layers, which are configured to wrap the inorganic layers. Therefore, when the stress focuses on the inorganic layer and leads to fractures and peeling-offs, the organic layers that wrapped the inorganic layer prevent the expansion of the fractures and peeling-offs, therefore extend the life of the flexible display being flexible and pliable.
