Display apparatus and method for fabricating the same

A display apparatus having a plurality of pixels, comprising:

• a field effective transistor formed on a substrate and having a first electrode, a second electrode and a third electrode;
• an interlayer insulating film formed on said field effective transistor;
• a lower electrode connected to said first electrode through an opening formed as penetrating said interlayer insulating film;
• an organic layer formed on said lower electrode and having a light emitting layer;
• and
• an upper electrode formed on the organic layer, wherein:
• said plurality of pixels are partitioned by a rib larger in thickness than said organic layer and having at least a conductive material;
• and
• said conductive material is electrically connected to said upper electrode.

A method for fabricating a display apparatus having a plurality of pixels, comprising:

• a step for forming on a substrate a first electrode;
• a step for forming between adjacent ones of said plurality of pixels a rib having a conductive material;
• a step for placing a mask on said rib, and forming on said first electrode a light emitting layer smaller in thickness than said rib;
• and
• a step for forming a second electrode on said light emitting layer and on said rib.
