Method of fabricating display device and display device

A method of fabricating a display device having a TFT substrate and an array of plural light-emitting devices arranged on the substrate, each of the light-emitting devices having a lower electrode, an upper electrode, and organic layers sandwiched between the lower and upper electrodes, includes the steps of: arraying the light-emitting devices on a display region of the TFT substrate; bringing out external connector terminals from the light-emitting devices; placing the external connector terminals outside the display region on the TFT substrate while exposing surfaces of the external connector terminals; and selectively forming a protective film on the display region of the TFT substrate by a method of application such that at least the light-emitting devices are covered.
