LIGHT-EMITTING ELEMENT AND DEVICE

摘要

A light-emitting element used for display devices and illumination devices has been formed on a flat substrate, and therefore, when such devices are enlarged, production apparatuses also have to be enlarged. Also, a problem involved has been that even a failure of one light-emitting element causes the entire device to fail, making improvement of production yielding difficult. To solve the above problems, light-emitting elements are formed as linear elements, and the linear elements are combined to form a plane light-emitting device. This enables the light-emitting device can be produced by selecting only linear light-emitting elements of good quality, and enlargement of apparatuses and enhancement of production yielding can be expected.
