Abstract

Abstract To provide a technique for manufacturing a high-performance display device by employing a plastic substrate. A peeling layer is formed on an element-forming substrate, and a semiconductor element and a luminous element are further formed thereon. Then, a fixed substrate ( 130 ) is bonded on the luminous element by using a first adhesive ( 129 ). The entire substrate in this state is exposed in a gas containing halogen fluoride to thereby remove the peeling layer and separate the element-forming substrate. Thereafter, a bonding substrate ( 132 ) that comprises a plastic substrate is bonded in place of the separated element-forming substrate.
