Organic el light-emitting apparatus and method of manufacturing the same

A method of manufacturing an organic EL light-emitting apparatus including a first electrode, an organic light-emitting functional layer, and a second electrode, those of which are successively laminated on a substrate, and a sealing member provided at its backside, the method comprising:

• a step of forming the first electrode on the substrate;
• a step of forming on the first electrode annular separators interspersedly in the plane direction of the substrate so as to project from the first electrode in the normal direction of the substrate, and forming conductive columnar members on the first electrode at the center of each of the separators;
• a step of depositing an organic EL medium on the first electrode, the columnar members and the separators so as to form the organic light-emitting functional layer;
• a step of forming the second electrode on the organic light-emitting functional layer;
• and
• a step of sealing the sealing member so as to accommodate the first electrode, the organic light-emitting functional layer, and the second electrode between the substrate and the sealing member, wherein
• an electric power supply point to the first electrode is formed by the sealing member made of a conductive material or a conductive layer formed on the sealing member through the conductive columnar members.
