Method for fabricating display apparatus comprising forming conductive layer electrically connected to cathodes of light-emitting elements

A method for fabricating a display apparatus, comprising:

• a step of forming an anode over an insulating layer;
• a step of forming an EL layer over the anode;
• a step of forming a cathode over the EL layer;
• a step of selectively removing parts of the anode, the EL layer, and the cathode to expose a top surface of the insulating layer and to form a plurality of light-emitting elements;
• and
• a step of forming a conductive layer over the plurality of light-emitting elements,
• wherein the parts of the anode, the EL layer, and the cathode are collectively removed using a resist mask, and
• wherein at least in two of the plurality of light-emitting elements, the cathodes of the light-emitting elements adjacent to each other are electrically connected to the conductive layer.
