When a paste (e.g., silver paste) is used as a material for the conductive layer electrically connected to the upper electrode 235, metal particles forming the conductive layer aggregate; therefore, the surface of the conductive layer is rough and has many gaps. Thus, it is difficult for the EL layer 233 to completely cover the conductive layer; accordingly, the upper electrode and the conductive layer are preferably electrically connected to each other easily.
[Examples of Materials]
Next, materials and the like that can be used for a light-emitting panel are described. Note that description on the components already described in this embodiment is omitted.
The element layer 501 includes at least a light-emitting element. As the light-emitting element, a self-luminous element can be used, and an element whose luminance is controlled by current or voltage is included in the category of the light-emitting element. For example, a light-emitting diode (LED), an organic EL element, an inorganic EL element, or the like can be used.
The element layer 501 may further include a transistor for driving the light-emitting element, a touch sensor, or the like.
The structure of the transistors in the light-emitting panel is not particularly limited. For example, a forward staggered transistor or an inverted staggered transistor may be used. A top-gate transistor or a bottom-gate transistor may be used. A semiconductor material used for the transistors is not particularly limited, and for example, silicon or germanium can be used. Alternatively, an oxide semiconductor containing at least one of indium, gallium, and zinc, such as an In-Ga-Zn-based metal oxide, may be used.
