Vapor deposition mask and method of manufacturing organic electroluminescent element by using vapor deposition mask

A method of manufacturing an organic electroluminescent (EL) element, the method comprising:

• causing a vapor deposition mask and a substrate to face each other;
• aligning the substrate and the vapor deposition mask;
• and
• forming a pattern by vapor-depositing a vapor deposition material on the substrate through openings of the vapor deposition mask,
• wherein the vapor deposition mask includes an opening region including a first opening and a second opening, and a third opening and a fourth opening arranged outside the opening region,
• wherein the first opening and the second opening are arranged along a first virtual line extending in a first direction,
• wherein the third opening is arranged between the first opening and a first end of the vapor deposition mask in the first direction,
• wherein the fourth opening is arranged between the first opening and a second end of the vapor deposition mask in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction,
• wherein, in the second direction, a distance between the first opening and the first virtual line is shorter than a distance between the third opening and the first virtual line, and
• wherein, in the aligning, a position of a scribe line on the substrate and the first virtual line of the vapor deposition mask face each other.
