A lighting apparatus using an organic light-emitting diode and a method of fabricating the same are characterized in that an organic emissive material and a conductive film used as a cathode are deposited on the entire surface of a substrate, and then an organic emissive layer in a lighting area and contact areas becomes separated (disconnected or cut) by laser ablation, simultaneously with the formation of a contact hole for contact with an anode. Next, cathode contact and encapsulation processes are performed using an adhesive containing conductive particles and a metal film. This simplifies the fabrication process of the lighting apparatus without using an open mask (metal mask), which is a complicated tool, thus making it useful especially in roll-to-roll manufacturing.
